Norbegun's food technology reflection

On Monday the 28th of May in Food technology, our class made wrapped sausages with bacon. I could not participate because I am not allowed to eat it due to my religion. 


I observed my peers make the sausages and they seemed to enjoy themselves. I hope I get to make something next week. 

Measurement and Jimmy

Today, I learnt that there are 52 weeks in one year. I also learnt that there are four weeks in one month.

Cyclones

A lot of destruction in the Southern Hemisphere are caused by cyclones.

Cyclones develop over seas that are at least 26 degrees celsius on the surface. These seas are usually near the equator. The sun heats the air over the sea and the air rises which makes low air pressure. As the air rises it gets more and more moisture which then condenses into thunderstorms.

The earth spins on its axis the air spins as well. The air bends upwards and inwards. This makes a type of cone, and at the centre of the cone there is an eye where there is no rain and very little wind. Cyclones are basically cones of thunderstorm.

A fully developed cyclone can pump out more than two million tonnes of air per second. This results in more rain falling in one day than what would fall in a year in a city like London.

The most usual places that cyclones hit are out at sea and Northern Australia, South East Asia and Pacific Islands. When the cyclone hits land many things go wrong. There are things like houses getting ripped apart, cars, animals and personal belongings being destroyed. Of course there are also people getting torn away from civilisation and getting flung around until eventually they die or land somewhere different.

When a cyclone stays out at sea it can become deadly for fishing boats. The winds hitting the sea can cause storm surges which are when the sea turns into massive waves. These waves can easily flip boats and cause mini tsunamis.

This is the basic explanation of a cyclone. It is a mass destructor of the Southern Hemisphere and can be dangerous.

Descriptive writing by Tatiana

L.I - we are learning to write descriptions with a focus on adjectives.


As part of our description writing learning experience. Our class walked down to the Dunkirk Reserve and we used our five senses to describe what surrounded us on that beautiful morning. This is my descriptive writing and please leave a comment.

Walking along Dunkirk

Walking across the rough cement path and crossing the smooth roads with the the beautiful bright sun shining on our attractive faces. It almost feels like we’re on the pathway towards Heaven.

Stopping at the wonderful sight of green, wet and pointy grass, it was a beautiful and very peaceful sight of nature.

The kids of Aotearoa getting their bottoms wet as we sit on the mighty fine green grass writing superb description about our surroundings.

The light blue sky held over our heads covered with light and dark blue clouds, filled with little raindrops about to burst.

The sight of the amazing grey coloured water flowing towards you brings tingle to your heart.

Just the massaging feeling you get when you walk along the shore, feeling the shells crack as you step on them brings you a feeling of great anxiety.

Birds soaring in a handfuls across the sparkling eye blinding water.

This is nature at its very best.
