One Shot Wonder

Today we did One-Shot Wonder. It was like we were doing the "Try not to talk challenge". Almost to the end, we were celebrating until Cleo fell over which was the funniest time ever with her, I was supposed to catch her but instead, I was focusing on the video.

Postcard from Mars

Dear Mum and Dad,

How are you? I’m doing really well on planet Mars. I’m missing you really bad. I wish you came with me to visit Mars.

I heard Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. It is the second smallest planet in the solar system. It was named after the Roman God of War. Mars is also often described as the “Red Planet” due to its reddish appearance. Its surface is made of a thick layer of oxidized iron dust and rocks of the same colour. Mars has two moons Plobos and Deimos. Plobos (Fear) and Deimos (Panic) were named after the horses that pulled the chariot of the Greek war god Ares, the counterpart to the Roman war god Mars. Both were discovered in 1877. 

I’ve learnt that only spacecrafts have visited Mars. The distance from the Sun to Mars is 227.9 million kilometres. 

See you when I get back!

Love from,

Toakase

Waterfall poster

this is my Waterfall poster for Inquiry. I learned that there are a lot of waterfalls that don't have caves, animals and not that many fishes.

Volcanoes presentation

My class and I did a presentation on landforms.

The Giving Tree

Miss Paton read a book named The Giving Tree. the boy was very happy with the tree, he even loved the tree and the tree loved him.

For Inquiry, we have been doing a presentation on landforms.

I and Ana chose Waterfalls for the presentation. 

You may think why weren't you there well I was absent.

Volcanoes writing

~Volcanoes Writing~

What is a volcano? you say. Well, a volcano is an opening
in a mountain on the Earth's surface. A volcano can knock
down a whole forest. A volcano allows hot lava, ash, and
gas to escape from the magma chamber under the earth’s
surface. When a volcano erupts it lets hot ash. Mudflows,
floods, tsunami’s, and falling rocks can trigger.

Volcanoes are formed when magma within the earth makes
its way up to the surface. A volcano is made from tectonic
plates, which creates magma and it builds up when magma
erupts that is called lava. There are two types of tectonic
plates are called Oceanic and Continental plates.

Volcanoes are classified as active, dormant, extinct.

Active means that one of the volcanoes is able to erupt,
dormant is that when a volcano is sleeping and might
erupt again, extinct means it is likely to not erupt again.
Volcanoes can come in different shapes and sizes, they
mostly look like an upside-down ice cream cones or a ½
circle.

The earth's crust is made up of huge rocks called tectonic
plates. There two plates that surround the Pacific Ocean.
These plates are The Oceanic Plate and the Continental
Plate. When these plates rub together they melt and can
create molten rock. Subduction and friction occur which
causes earthquakes and volcanoes.

There are over 1510 active volcanoes in the world. There are
currently, 80 or more volcanoes are under the ocean. The
The United States ranks number 3rd in the world for the
number of active volcanoes. The United States is behind
Indonesia and Japan for having the most active volcanoes.
The reason there are a large number of volcanoes around
the Pacific is because of the Ring of Fire.
