Natural Disaster Notes

I studied about Hurricanes and Typhoons. Did you know that hurricanes, Typhoons, Cyclones and Tropical Storms are the strongest and most dangerous of storms recorded and experienced.

Bryanna’s powerpoint and speech was about was about Avalanches. There are three types of Avalanche. Wet slab, when the ground/snow is wet from the rain and it slips down the mountain freely and easily. Hard slab, when the ground/snow is disturbed by movement under the mountain or on top of the hill. And, Wind Avalanches. They were created when a down draft onto the mountain.

I also learnt about the Plague, which was Rangi’s choice of natural disaster. The nursery rhyme “Ring a ring of rosies.” That nursery rhyme is created after the Plague. Rats were bitten by fleas, then the rats travelled to big cities, like London and that’s where they bit people’s arms or legs or chest of people while they slept, ate or just sat in a chair for more than a minute.

Olivia’s powerpoint was about Droughts. Droughts mainly happen in Africa and can kill small children in about three to five days. Droughts kill crops, animals, people and cattle.

Sophie and Amy’s powerpoint was both on Snow storms. They mostly happen in Canada and North America. Snow storms can keep you in your house for up to a few days or a few weeks if the snow is hard and thick.

Hannah and Brennan’s powerpoint’s was on Volcanoes. Volcano comes from the Greek god of fire, Vulcan. Volcanoes have been used in lots of movie and have had the BEST title EVER… “Volcano!” Awesome title of what?! The people that study about Volcanoes are called Volcanologists.

Homework - Letter to Editor

Dear Editor,
After the natural disater in Lake Okareka, I believe that on the behalf of the community, I think that we should have a Mini Mall. As you may know that Lake Okareka does no longer have a Diary and is forced to drive 10 minutes into town to buy grocery supplies when we can just pop in and by them from a Diary. In the Mini Mall, it should have cafes, small supermarket, bookshops and others.
Yours Sincerely,
Kate & Olivia Wilson
