Hurricanes and Tornado

Hurricanes and tornado are violent storms.Both have very strong winds.These winds spin in circles.A hurricane forms over the ocean.This storms is most dangerous when it moves towards land and hits towns along the coasts.A hurricane can also be dangerous to boats that get caught in it.Weather scientists,called meteorologists,can tell if a hurricane is forming.They look at photographs of the Earth.These photos are taken from space.From above,a hurricane looks like a big white circle with a hole in the center.That circle of clouds is about 300 miles wide.From below,the clouds look like a dark storms.Strong winds blow.Heavy rain falls.Huge waves crash.Most hurricanes happen during the months when the surface of the ocean is very warm.These months are called hurricane season.

Tamaki @ Tech

On the first day of school we had tech at tamakI I was so happy that we had tech on the first day.So we had to line up to get ready to go to tech,then we started walking to tech in different groups like wood work cooking and other groups that we do.When we got there we had to line up where the teachers are standing so we went to our class we were writing about how we find out things like how they make things.In wood work you get to make anything like a truck and a car. I really like tech because teach people how to lean things.

In Room 20 we are learning about geometry and translation we are moving our shapes to another position with out changing sizes.This happens when it takes place when a shape moves in one direction one place to another,when you watch it move the shape doesn't change.

The Tornado

• The tornado hit North Shore suburb of Albany at around 3pm yesterday,killing one person and injuring around 20, with winds of up to 200kmh ripping through roofs and tossing cars. A steady stream of people have been shopping and taking photos and about 10 workers from the Place makers construction site have been at the scene since 7am waiting to be allowed to return to their workplace. Inspector Gary Davey said police hoped to have a better idea in the next few hours stores at the Mega Centre could reopen. Shopping centre workers are lining along the road next to the mall waiting to hear when they will be allowed back to work.
