Information about Volcanoes

             Volcanoes!

What are Volcanoes?
A volcano is a mountain that opens  to a pool of molten rock. Gases and rock come out through the opening and spills all over. Eruptions can cause lateral blasts, lava flows, hot ash flows, mudslides, avalanches etc. Volcano eruptions can down knock down the entire forest. An erupting volcano can trigger tsunamis, flash floods, earthquakes etc.

How are volcanoes formed?
Volcanoes are formed because magma is  within the Earth's upper surface. At the surface, it can erupt to form lava flows and ash flows lickrish. Over time as the volcano continues to erupt, it will get bigger and bigger.

Types of volcanoes
Scientists have volcanoes to three main categories: active, dormant, and extinct. An active volcano is one which has  erupted and there is a possible way that it may erupt soon. A dormant volcano is one which has not erupted in a long time but it is a possibility it can erupt in the future. An extinct volcano is one which has erupted thousands of years ago and there’s no possibility of eruption ever again.

RAPunzel!

            RAPunzel!
WALT write a review.

Yesterday on the 12th of November, a group named Auckland Playhouse came to Christ the King to perform a show called Rap-punzel. It was acted out by three people Jake, Jane and Ben. The name of the play was “A land far far away’s got talent” they presented it as if it was an X factor idol show.

The funniest thing was when Prince Rupee tried to sing, but he couldn’t and embarrassed himself in front of the whole audience and Rapunzel. The whole school laughed so loudly I thought there was going to be an earthquake. The most disgusting part was when Rapunzel and Prince Rupee kissed, it was so disgusting the audience screamed out “eww” or “yuck”.

I recommend this show for all ages because everyone would find something humorous to enjoy.

Matariki

                      Matariki
It is night time and i’m at the beach with my neighbors. I can see the fire has been already lit. My neighbors are nearly at the fire, when John says “ Hurry up or the stars will disappear”. We’re at the beach to  celebrate Matariki.

The stars are glistening in the dark blue sky. As I look up, my friend Jessie calls us, so we can all be together to see the stars rise and turn into bright diamonds. The seven stars are gathered together, to be a shape like a kite or another kind of pattern.

Matariki is the Maori New Year when everyone celebrates Matariki or, the seven sisters which are a group of stars in the sky. Matariki is a time of plenty when the crops are gathered together.

GREEK GODS

Greek Gods!
                                   
Are you fascinated about how people use their powers? Do you like people with interesting moves? If you are one of those kinds of people, then it’s your lucky day, because you are coming with me into the past to see the Greek Gods and Goddesses.

But be careful, because if you are rude, there will be consequences for example, if you are rude to the king (Zeus) and his Queen (Hera) you will get really hurt and you will have to be his slave until you have suffered.

When you travel with me to the past, there will be a lot of Gods and Goddesses and we will learn about them  like how Hermes is so energetic, how Demeter is nice and beautiful and how Ares is so violent and temper was always making him fight in war.

Have you waited a long time to know who might be the strongest, the mighty and the popular God on mount olympus, well if you are wanting to know, its Hercules!. Hercules was the strongest God in mount olympus and he happened to be the last mortal son of zeus.

Greek Gods has been around for hundreds of years and their stories are still being told today, thanks to Television, Movies and Books.
