Active earth



As we were coming from our vacation which was our school holiday, we were shocked by hearing that Pt England school was about to learn about volcanoes which is just for starters. So far on the first day of term 2, I have learnt amazing things!!!! First about volcanoes, there has been lot's of damaging explosions around the world lately. It had struck in Iceland. It has caused trouble because it has been said that passengers have to wait until 6:00am this morning. When the magma shoots out of the crater magma is now called "LAVA". Lava is hot and maybe if your camping near a volcano, you could cook some eggs for breakfast. As the lava spreads, it strongly pushes through rocks. Not long after an explosion , the lava soon cools down and turns in to hard rock. As the puff of ash continue to spread it causes big trouble for airlines. It has been said that not even one plane can survive this damaging blinding puff of ash.It is too bad for passengers I guess. Well moving on

Also we are learning about Tsunami's,Earthquakes and things that move such as big crashing waves and also big movements of the devastating earth quakes. Some of these amazing acts have killed over 100 people!!!! Well that is just the start of my adventure. I am looking forward to this term's theme, ACTIVE EARTH!!!!

I would like to thank this website http://www.teachersparadise.com/ency/en/media/b/bd/volcano.jpg for letting borrow their picture

    Malo Joshua, oka! You have learnt quite a bit already. I can sense your enthusiasm through your writing here. You are right, it's going to be a very exciting adventure this term learning about how active our earth is. It was great that you remembered how tsunami's are created, I heard you volunteer your answer at our immersion assemble. Good on you Joshua! This term will be a really good opportunity for you tap into all those interesting facts Dr Hamish Campbell shared with us in via video conferences last year. Malo lava Joshua
