Buddy Writing

Today we did some buddy writing with room7. We helped them to re-craft their writing samples. This is me and my buddy Lavinia. I hope to do this again, It was Fun!

Tsunami Disaster

I could see people crying because there is a tsunami breaking buildings. I could see people screaming,hugging and helping each other. People on top of buildings. Houses floating away with this force of nature.

I could hear people screaming for help. Water smashing over buildings, people crying for their loved ones and power lines electrifying the water. I could hear children crying for their mums or dads because they might be at work or even out shopping for food of clothes. Electric lines were snapping like a crocodile. Houses getting crushed into rubble by the tsunami and people speaking to each other saying “Are you OK?” “Help me! I'm stuck on a building!”

I could smell and feel salty water. I could see people feeling frightened and the fear of the screams from people. I could smell smoke and feel the force of the wind and damp water. People are terrified and lost, some hearts were broken and frozen. People were scared and worried, but there are hopes to rebuild again.

Layers of the earth

WALT:make a model of the layers of the earth out of play-dough.

So...that when we learn about natural disasters we can use our knowledge of the layers to understand them better.

To...help us in topic and science and learn about the earth around us.

THE CRUST:has a thickness of 15-75km.The crust also holds our countries and seas together.

MANTLE:there are two layers within the mantle.There is a upper and lower mantle.The upper mantle 400km thick and the lower and the lower mantle is 2300km thick.

OUTER CORE:The outer core is 2300km thick.The outer core has liquid.There is nickle,minerals and sulphur.

INNER CORE:The inner core is 1200km thick.The inner core is 6650 degrees Celsius (wow that is hot!!).  It is also solid.

City decription

As I walked out of the plane and through the city New York I saw saw,heard,and smelt.....

As I walked through a big city,I saw towering buildings. There were traffic jams and I saw crowed of people that seemed to be doing nothing but walking around the street.

When I walked down the street, I heard little babies crying and horns from cars beeping because there were too many people on the road. As I walked through Mac Donald’s, I could hear the booming sound of Jessie J (Price Tag) and when I walked out from MacDonald’s, I heard people yelling out from their cars.

I could smell MacDonald’s butter chicken and Burger King. It smelt delicious.

I hope I go back in time again, to that amazing city.
