Graphics

Using an Adobe Illustrator is confusing. But at the end you get a good result. This is what I have done in Graphics and is an example of what we had to do. Graphics is awesome.

Mt Wellington

This term we got given a project by our teacher. We had to do an animation to show others what we know about Volcanoes.

This is my animation!

Disaster Day

Because the topic of the term is Active Earth, Pt England school is going to Ruapotoka school.

Tomorrow is our Disaster Day. We will be going there so that we will Know what to do when

a tsunami or volcanic eruption happens. It will be like a drill.

Five Fabulous Facts

Five fabulous facts

1. Volcanoes are found on subduction plate boundaries and also at hot spots on the earths
surface.
2. Magma is called lava when it has erupted from the volcano.
3. Most of the famous volcanoes are Strato Volcanoes.
4. There are three main types of volcanoes they are called Shield volcano, Cinder Cone and
Stratovolcano.
5. Hawaii has the largest Shield volcanoes on earth.

Cyber Coaching

Cyber Coaching works up a sweat like Zumba. It made me laugh after Mrs Nua was trying her best at doing cheer leading. There was a huge variety of programmes to choose from. There are different coaches for each of these programmes. Step by step they would take you through a series of exercises or teach you a routine.

Information report

Volcanoes are mountains that erupt. It is a vent in the earths crust through witch magma and gasses erupt. The word volcano comes from the god of fire, Vulcan. Volcanoes are all over the world. Most volcanoes are on the edge of the tectonic plates. Some volcanoes form on hot spots.

How are they formed?

Below the earths crust the pressure of the magma builds up. It then is forced up and it makes a vent in the earths surface. After it has erupt the lava then dry's up and forms a mountain

How does an eruption occure.

An eruption happens when the pressure builds up inside the magma chamber. When the pressure is high it makes the magma thick and gooey. When the pressure is low in the magma chamber the magma gets thin and runny. When it is like that, it flows more easily.

The different types of volcanoes.

There are different shapes and sizes of volcanoes. The three basic types are shield volcano, cinder cone and stratovolcano.

The shield volcano got its name because people thought it looked like the shape of an ancient warriors shield. The shield volcano is low in silica. They are shallow sided and has a flat bottomed crater. It has a long fluid lava flow witch can also flow into sea. Shield volcanoes can also be found on the ocean crust.

Cinder cone volcanoes are the smallest volcanoes. These volcanoes are formed by low silica magma that is runny. They are steep sided volcanoes that are cone shaped.

The stratovolcanoes are the most famous volcanoes. Mount St. Helens, Mt Vesuvius and Mt Fuji are stratovolcanoes. When it starts to erupt it begins with an explosion of ash and cinders. These volcanoes are often found on subduction zones.

Volcanoes are amazing. I feel lucky to be living in Auckland. There is one volcano that is nearby named Maungarei.

The Dunker

Missing the target three times in a row wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. It was time for both teams to swap over. When it was my turn to be the dunkee, I felt a bit nervous while climbing up the little ladder. I was sitting above a tank of cold water waiting for someone to hit the target. Then finaly Tevita hit it. It was like a surprise falling down because you wouldn't have known when a person had hit the target. When I got out I wasn't really cold but I was really excited to go again. Out of the whole game I never got someone dunked but it was heaps of fun. This was one of my best camp Kindness highlight.
