What is an earthquake

What is an earthquake?

An earthquake is when two pieces of the earth suddenly slip past one another, the surface where they slip is called a fault place.

An earthquake can have foreshocks and aftershocks. A foreshock is a small shock that happens before the main earthquake.An aftershock is a small shock that occurs after the big earthquake.

The earth has four major layers:

Inner core, Outer core, Mantle and Crust

The tectonic plates are pieces of land that rub together and when they rub they vibrate and that causes an earthquake.

So an earthquake is caused when the tectonic plates rub violently together.

Painted drains

From robots to turtles or even the world, our school drains a filled with color they brighten up the school.

They have been very creative with the colors and the designs(like: pokemon, worlds,people, robots Etc).

In total there are 25 drains around the whole entire school and they have all been painted.

Mural

The mural has so much detail on it like the waikato river and all the taniwhas.

It shows the main parts of hamilton like the Riff Raff and the river of Hamilton and a lot more places that make Hamilton special.

Did you know that the school is drawn on the mural?

I like that Pippa (our principal) is standing in the middle of the gate-way.

Birthday party

First of all we were at kmart half an hour before the party we didn't know what to buy a three year old girl for a birthday secondly we ate butter chicken ( I don't know why )  So we were full to the brim.

The party was starting we were late we gave Holly ( birthday girl ) her presents and she liked the tea party set.

Yay cake yum I thought to myself as I tried not to stuff my face with the cake it was homemade and was in the shape of a butterfly with maltesers all over it and nice creamy vanilla flavored icing.

Wait there's another cake an ice cream cake But… But… But… i'm stuffed already.

Okay then i’ll have some. IT WAS THE SAME SIZE AS A TRIPLE SCOOP ICE CREAM!!!! But I ate it all, with no doubt in at least two minutes!!

Picture writing

Picture writing

We have been learning how to use a picture and write about it.

Walking to school in the icy snow is quite a challenge for us; Dads are carrying our packs for us and the older kids have to carry their own pack for the whole 3.4km. Im starting to  get scared. Im lucky I don’t need to carry my own pack ‘cuz im too young i'm 9 years old on my tenth birthday i’ll regret wanting to grow up. My dads pack is 19.7kg i’m 20kg I can’t even carry that. But this is the big question: What if we fall down a crack? Who will save us...

Scrambling up the ladder, 3 go up at once, the ladders are not stable. We scramble up the ladders trying not to be late for class. Each ladder is over 3m high. “How are we supposed to climb up?” I say to myself. “This is my first try everyone else has been doing this for years” I say again to myself
