Natural Disaster

Today we were learning about what an Earthquake is. I've learnt that a Earthquake is a sudden violent shake underground. It is a movement with the earth’s crust or volcanic action. Did you know that The most common cause of earthquakes are the Tectonic plates. When they bump into each other it causes underground vibrations. There are three different ways for plates to interact with each other. In a normal Fault, the plates are separating. Here are some Effects of an Earthquake.

• Houses can break down
• People can get injured
• Peoples powerline can come off
• Your T.V or your devices can crack
• You can get squashed by falling objects

Natural Disaster

                       WALT:Research about Tornadoes
On the 25th of July 2018 at 12:22 Pm at Tamaki Primary School, I was researching about Tornadoes and how it is formed. I have learnt lots and lots about Tornadoes. A challenge that I have found throughout this discovery is trying to find out what us humans are trying to prevent this from happening. Next time I can probably research deeper into what I am learning about.

Tornadoes

WALT: Research about Natural Disasters

The main Natural Disaster i'll like to learn more about is Tornadoes. Something I have already learnt about Tornadoes is that it spins in circles and it sucks stuff into it. But as I was researching, did you know that most tornadoes form from thunderstorms. You need warm, moist air from Mexico and cool, dry air from Canada. When these two air combine, they create instability in the atmosphere. 

Tornadoes are most common in South America. More than 500 tornadoes occur in this area every year, and some people call it the "Tornado Alley". To me this will be a very scary place to live in because I can die really fast and also I will be very dizzy spinning around and around.

Maths Test

IALT: Reflect About My Maths Test

Today we had our Maths test just to see where we are at with our maths. I was really scared because Maths is really hard, but I still really enjoyed doing it. We were given our account and our password for the E-Asttle site. Then we got in to it, I found it really easy at first but as we started getting into the test, the questions started to get harder and harder. But I still managed to get through them. What really helped me the most while I was going through the test was being able to use pen and paper to figure out the question. 

I got really stuck on one question which was about degrees and I stayed stuck for about 5 minutes, but then I was using pen and paper to try figure it out and I really think that I got it right. Another thing that also really helped me was being able to know my Divisions and my Multiplications really well.

A challenge for me was trying to figure out the Decimals questions and also trying to be able to remember what the question is asking. Next time I can probably practice so I can get better and better.

If you were stuck on a question what would you do?

My First Blog Reflection 2018

During the School holidays it was really, really fun. We went to many places that I haven't been to before, one of the places that I really enjoyed going to was Ice Skating, which was in Botany. But when we got there the Ice Skating place didn't open until 3:00pm and we got there at 10:00am, so we decided to go to laser tag which was upstairs. The plan was to go to laser tag to wait for Ice skating to open but right after laser tag we went to bowling which was next to Laser tag. I really enjoyed bowling because I got many pins down and also alot of strikes. Something I need to work on was controlling where I aim. Then right after bowling we went to Ice Skating and it was freezing cold, we had to put on these weird looking shoes and we also had hold on this wheelchair thing so we don't fall.  Something I really need to work on is being able to control my speed, because when I thought I was tough I was going really fast that I lost control and fell.

For term 3 I am looking forward to the activities and the sports cluster tournaments because I really want to represent our school and I want to spend more time with my friends and the kia manawanui class. I want to improve on getting to know others better and my maths. I want to know more about others because I want everyone to feel safe around me. I want to know more about maths because when I grow up I want to work in the bank. To achieve my goals I would need a lot of support from my friends and also a lot of helping from my teachers.

What did you do for the holidays?

Visual Art

In my artwork I have decided to create a Yin Yang to present my
work.A challenge I found during my artwork was trying to come
up with a creative idea to present my work, I wanted to do a
picture of the moon and the sun together but everyone else was
doing it, then I was up on google researching about the sun
and moon. Then a picture of a Yin Yang came up so I decided
to that, but as I started I looked over me and my friend started
to do every single thing I was doing but his one was just a
different colour. If I were to do this again I would change the
colour of the background and I will try to create something
else instead of a Yin Yang.
