In Term 2, level 4 have been studying Natural Disasters. We've learnt that they can be tragic and devastating, here are some interesting facts about them:


Tornado - A Tornado is formed when hot and cold air colide this is called the front.
 caused by earthquakes.
Bush Fire - Bushfires can destroy property causing bankruptcy.

Tsunami - Tsunamis can be
In term 2 the level 4's topic/unit was "Natural Disasters". We learnt how they start, why, where and how they occur. It was an interesting topic to learn about.
 Here is an acrostic poem about a natural disaster:

E very time the world shakes, i think.
A bout my family
R ubble crashing down. .
T errifing.
H eart from the destruction
Q uestions to answer about everything
U nderneath the tectonic plates are moving
A n exclaim that none wants to hear
K eep safe
E arthquake

Term 2: Natural Disasters

This term, we (6C) have been learning about natural disasters. Our class have been looking int things such as: Cylone Tracy, Tornado Valley, Historic Timelines and other stuff. I made an acrostic poem for Frog Fall, but it's not really a natural disaster.


FROGS
RIDICULOUS
ORGANISMS PLUMMETING
GREEN BUCKETS OF RAIN

FALLING
ANIMALS
LOOKING OUT
LUMP ON HEAD (FROM FALLING FROGS)

Frog falls happen when a tornado occurs, sending frogs into the air then making them fall.

TSUNAMI ACROSIC POEM

In term 2, the level 4's learned about natural disasters. A few examples of natural disasters are, tsunami, earthquake, volcano eruption, bushfire, flood and tornado. So basically, what a natural disaster are changes so big, it causes damage and changes shape to land, it can also kill a lot of people and happen regularly.

ACROSTIC POEM

Tidal wave
Sudden hit on earth
Underwater earthquake
No tsunami is small
A tsunami is caused by an earthquake underground
Monster waves
Immeasurable damage
In Term 2, Level 4 have been learning about Natural Disasters. We have learnt about Volcanoes, Tsunamis, Avalanche, Cyclones, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Floods and Droughts. We have also designed a mythical creature that lives in a Natural Disaster.

Vulcanology is the study of volcanoes
On the island of Hawaii is the world’s largest volcano Mauna Loa
Lava is magma when it erupts out of the volcano
Cantera is a type of volcanic stone
Ash is what plummeted out of Eyjafjallajokull in Ireland 2010 grounding many flights
Not many people would attempt to dive into a volcano
On the moon, there are volcanoes that have lasted for 4 billion Years!

Natural Disasters

In Term 2, we have been studying Natural Disasters and how much devastating damage they do. Here are some facts about some natural disasters:


Tsunamis- They are caused by earthquakes which then make a gaint wave of water and you don't want to try surf on it

Earthquake- Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plates crashing agaisnt each other making a shake in the ground making tremors. Don't be in a building at the time or you might be crushed.

Volcanic Eruption- This happens when great pressure happens in side the mountain allowing hot magma to surge out of the top and sometimes it will explode. Interesting Fact: Once the lava has erupted later you can find crystals of some kind.

Bushfire- Bushfires can be caused by a simple match touching a trees leaf can start a very dangerous out of control bushfire. Don't be in the forest when this happens, you might be burnt.


Term 2- Natural Disasters

This term, we have been learning about natural disasters. We have completed multiple tasks relating to natural disasters, including lotus diagrams, acrostic poems, history of natural disasters, listing natural disasters and defining a natural disaster. Everyone in 6C has beeen enjoying learning new facts and showing off their knowledge of facts :). Here is an acrostic poem that I made:

Bushlands
Underestimated power
Searing scorching heat
Heatwave
Flames
Incinerator
Reactive to wind
Extreme threat to wildlife

Here is a list of natural disasters:

Bushfire
Tornado
Earthquake
Volcanic Eruption
Tsunami                                                                                         Bushfire
Flood                        
Hurricane/Cyclone

Now for the ones you've never heard of:
Sinkhole                                           
Solar Flare
Water Spout
Frogfall

Natural Disasters- Avalanche

This term grades 5 and 6 have been learning about natural disasters. a few examples of natural disasters anre tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, b ushfires, landslides,  droughts, locust plague, flood, cyclones, tornados, typhoons and avalanches. There are also many, many more. Here is an acrostic poem that I wrote about Avalanches.




Accidential
Vicious
Astronomical
Land slide related
And cold
Not warm at all
Crazy
Heavy
Eco-Unfriendly

Natural Disasters

This term the year 5 and 6s have been learning about natural disasters. Some of the natural disasters we have been learning about are volcanoes, tornado's, tsunamis and many more. Some facts that i have learnt about natural disasters are some tsunamis are made when a volcano has erupted and the volcanic island of Krakatoa suddenly explodes in 1885.This is thought to be loudest sound ever heard on earth.

Volcano's are big
Oh i hate volcanos
Little dogs can die from volcanos
Calm down if you see a volcano
A volcano is a natural disaster
Nothing is like a volcano
OMG volcano's are scary
