Tsunamis

Tsunamis

What I know?

• Animals can sense a Tsunami approaching because of their superior sense of hearing.

• Tsunamis mostly happen in Japan. 

• Tsunami is a Japanese word meaning harbour (Tsu) wave (nami).

• Tsunamis can be caused after huge Earthquake in the sea or ocean.

• A Tsunami is a very big and strong wave, that can washed away everything that goes in his way.

What I want to know?

• Are Tsunamis fast?

• How do they form?

• Can they cause something else?

• Can Tsunamis be a different colour?

• Can Tsunamis not only be in seas and oceans?

• How many people died by Tsunamis?

       

 What I learn't?

 

• When tsunamis are near the coast, they slow down but but increase in height.

• Tsunamis used to be referred to as tidal waves but aren’t anymore because they have nothing to do with the tides.

• Some tsunamis may not appear on shore as a huge wave but as a quickly surging tide.

         

Priivate and not private

Hey bloggers, Today we were writing about public and private personal information. We were very busy.

Hi bloggers,

 This week, I was reading a book called Egbert and the princess. It’s about a dragon called Egbert and a prickly princess. The funniest part of the story is that Egbert was stuck in the tower instead of the princess. That was funny. I liked that story. 

Hope you enjoy!

 

Character: Egbert the dragon, Mummy dragon, Daddy dragon, The prickly princess, King, Queen, Knights with horses.

Setting: Egbert went to find a princess and lock her in a tower.

Problem: Egbert got locked in the tower instead of the princess!

Solution: The dragon wrote a note for his mum and dad.This is what he wrote:

Dear mum+dad,

Things have gone horribly wrong. I'm being kept prisoner in a tower by a princess...

The video was a part of a movie called Shrek. It’s about an ogre named Shrek, a donkey called donkey

and a princess called Fiona. Shrek had a warning from the king to save Fiona from the tower and bring her

to him.

So he went to the tower, where the princess was kept in. They also had to battle the dragon and the dragon

fell in love with the donkey and so the dragon carried donkey to a room in the tower of gold. Shrek had to

save donkey from the dragon and ran away with donkey and Fiona.

Complementary text: The Earth is made from 20 pieces of land like a jigsaw puzzle. Each of those puzzle pieces are called Tectonic plates. Some Earthquakes are very small that we can’t even feel it and some of them can be so hard that we could feel it from 1000 miles away.

Challenge text: The surface where these plates slip is called the Fault or the Fault planes. We can’t feel it that much outside. The ground shakes all the time and we just can’t feel it.
