How to edit a story

Here is our edited story.
Things we learnt about were
We aren’t allowed to use then, and, also and because at the beginning of a sentence.
Speech marks go on the OUTSIDE of the full stop or other punctuation.
The end of a sentence can be marked by a full stop, an exclamation mark or a question mark. You don’t need to put an extra full stop after a question mark.
Remember to check ALL capital letters. Sometimes we need to put them in and sometimes we need to take them out.
On Monday 24th September 2018 Room 7 did a blindfold challenge. We wanted to have fun and make our morning a bit interesting by playing a game.

Firstly Miss Ashley told us the rules which was “no touching the tables or pieces of paper on the floor or you will lose points.“  However you are allowed to touch the chairs because you sometimes have to step over them to get to the end. Next we got into buddies. My buddy was Lucina.  We had to line up by the heater in our buddies.

First it was my turn to go so Lucina (my buddy)  put the blindfold on me (over my eyes) and helped me to stand up. The blindfold was tight it felt like a constrictor boa on my face. I felt so confused and disorientated because the blindfold was covering my eyes. Lucina told me to “go left, right, straight and step over.” I was feeling nervous and a little bit scared because “what if she was tricking me?“ and I was really doing something silly. I got to the end safely and took my blindfold off.

Next it was my buddies turn so I helped her put the blindfold on. I told her to walk straight first, then next turn left. She doesn’t know her lefts and rights so she went the wrong way.I said “no your other left” and it was a little bit funny. In the end we got to the blue fruit tray and we made it without losing any points!

I think I would like to do this activity again because it was cool to do something different and fun in class especially since it’s the end of the term and I think we are all feeling kind of tired.

How do I feel about Maths

Create Volcano Speech

A volcano is a mountain with a hole where lava comes from. Parts of the volcano is lava, throat, molten magma, secondary vent, ash cloud and vent.



When a volcano is active, materials come out of it. The materials include lava, steam, ash and broken rock pieces.

Vulcan is a man that is a  Roman God of Fire and when he gets angry most of the volcanoes erupt. That’s where the word volcano comes from.

There are 1,500 active volcanoes in the world. Most of these volcanoes is around the ring of fire. There are 452 volcanoes in the Ring of Fire. 75% of the Earth’s volcanoes + 90% of the Earth’s earthquakes happen here.

Volcanoes form when magma from the outer core pushes through the crust of the Earth. Once the magma is out of the crust it is called lava. A ash cloud forms when the volcano erupts and smoke rising up which is the ash cloud.

There are three different kinds of volcanoes. They are dormant, active and extinct. Dormant means they have erupted in the past but are sleeping at the moment so won’t erupt. Active volcanoes can erupt soon. Extinct volcanoes erupt a long time ago and won’t erupt again.
These are the rocks from the volcano that erupted

Volcanoes are made out of magma that forms a volcano. It also forms lava and ash clouds. It has liquor and gas which forms lava. Vulcan is a roman Gog of fire. When he is angry the volcanoes erupt. Volcanoes are around a ring of fire.

Earthquakes are when the ground suddenly shakes from the ground like when christchurch get them because it is in the ring of fire.

Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones re the same thing. But happened differently and different country's call these stuff America calls it Hurricane And New Zealand people call it Cyclones and Asia calls it Typhoon. Today there is a hurricane is happening in north carolina and south carolina it is big i’m just guessing.

Caused by earthquakes vs. not caused by earthquakes

• No earthquake because you it won’t be scary
• No earthquake because you house won’t get ruined and stuff that you pretty much spend your money on it.
• No earthquake because the ground won’t be shaking  and stuff will be falling on you and you will die.

• No wind because you won’t get blowin you down to the ground
• No wind because it won’t be so cold.
