Tornado Information Report

WALT: To write an information report with the correct structure and language features

For the last three weeks we have been learning about weather. For writing We had to pick our own weather feature to write an information report about weather. I chose Tornados because they are really cool to work on .
I am proud of my writing because I have done heaps of my Tornado Imformation Report

Tornados

OMG!! Look at that tornado it is very scary.

Tornadoes are really dangerous. People can get really scared and terrified of Tornados and storms.

Tornados destroy everything in its path. They blow down houses and trees and when they blow down the houses people will not have anywhere to live. Tornados are really dangerous they produce strong winds.

Tornadoes can last for about 10 minutes. Tornadoes are really fast they spin 300 Miles per hour and 483 kilometres per hour. A tornado is a spinning cloud of  air stretching from ground up into a thunderstorm above.

If the cloud touches the ground, it becomes a tornado. Tornados come in many sizes, but they dont normaly last very long.

Tornadoes are sometimes called twisters.

I think when i’m in a tornado I will go under something to keep me safe.

Weather Art

This term we have been learning about weather. In art I created a stormy night picture. First I did the backround using dye, One group was doing the dye and the other group did the silhouette. There was three groups one group was doing the silhouette and one group was doing the thunder with white paint and the other group was doing the dark stormy cloud. I was in the group that was glueing on the silhouette. Next I painted the dark cloud when we were doing the cloud we had to dabb to make the cloud effect with black paint. After that I painted the thunder with the white paint we couldnt do the lightening in straight lines and not thick.

Multipcation Strategies

This week we had to find a strategy that we had used in the past and make a DLO or make an explain everything. I chose to make an explain everything. The equation that I had chosen was 6 x 4 . We were not allowed to just right the answer we had to show how we worked it out.

Exploring Blogs

We are learning to create a positive digital footprint.

We often share personal information when we are online. The people we share with could be our friends and family or people we don't know. We need to make smart decisions about what personal information we share online.

Mindset

During power time we have been learning about growth mindset.We watched a short video about luke skywalker and yoda lifting an X-wing out of the lake. Luke had fixed mindset. A fixed mindset is when you cant do something you say I can't do this and it is to hard. Yoda taught him how to have a growth mindset. A growth mindset is when you say I can do it.

WALT: we are learning to write a Information Report with the correct stucture and language features.

We are beginning learning about weather features. This week we are writing an Information Report about weather. This is my Information report about weather.

Weather features

“OMG it is hot today...can you feel the heat of the sun”.

Weather is the current atmosphere that we experience. It changes minute to minute.

Right now out there is amazing sun outside the wind is really warm the sky is bright blue and a couple of clouds I can feel the sun heat.

In New Zealand we don’t get much snow but we get hail and in the winter we get sleet and a little bit of snow.

Tornadoes, blizzards, hurricanes and cyclones are really dangerous and extremely powerful they can blow down houses and trees down and after it is all finished everything will be destroyed.

Sometimes in New Zealand there are thunder and lightning they look really cool in the sky but they are really dangerous and scary for other people.

There is nothing better than sitting inside a warm house next to the fire looking at the rain and storms. I like a good storm.

A day in a life of a penguin

After learning about Penguins in Antarctica I wrote a story about what life would be like as a Penguin.

Penguin Story

Penguins are flightless birds. They live in the Southern Hemisphere.

Penguins get very nervous if you get within 3 metres. Emperor Penguins live for about 20years, weight about 23kg and are 1.2m tall.Little penguins live up to 6 years, they weigh about 1.5 kg and are about 30 - 33 cm Birds have wings to fly but penguins have flippers to help them swim in water really fast.

Penguins can swim and go under water for 20 minutes.

The mothers and fathers penguins catch food like fish for them and their babies.

Sometimes the babies mothers don't come back because they have been eaten by whales and their enemies

When adelie penguins are on their nest sometimes for days at a time,they do not eat, instead they live of the fat layers that have formed from lots of previous eating.Penguins eat seafood, fish, squid and krill. Penguins are carnivores they feed on fish, squid, crabs, krill and other seafood they catch while swimming. Penguins swim 22 miles per hour in the water they run really powerful.
