How Waves Are Made?

How Waves Are Made?


1. Waves are mainly a product of the wind.


2. Wind is the first step in the formation of surfable waves.


Z
3. Local shore winds can also produce waves, but they can also destroy the quality of the breaking waves.


4.  Swell comes from miles away and the ground wind works as a pause hold effect on the top of the surface.


5. Off shore winds are a sort of a counterbalance.


6. More waves are generated by the power of the gusts.


7. If low pressure winds affect a very large area of the ocean, all waves produced by the swell will have more energy and power.


8. Swells will be bigger because energy is gathering in all waves produced.
How is a wave formed: wind is the source of the surf
I got my information from this link.

Softball

On Wednesday at school, Room 7 students went out on the field to play softball. Dora and I went to get the softball gear out of the sports shed because we are the sports monitor. We got out the bag of glove, bat, balls,helmet, and the bases too.


After that Dora and I went up the field with the gear and we have to to set it up. Next, our teacher told us to line up in our lines so we can do the teams. When we got into our teams I went straight away to get the ball, because I wanted to be the pitcher .


Later on, we started to play. I threw the ball under arm, then my friend Dora hit the ball over our heads, and she ran around the bases and she got a home run, but my team tried hard to get her out.  Then I said “Good run Dora”, then she said” Thanks”.


After  that the next batter up was Fraser. When Fraser picked up the bat he was already ready to  bat and I said to the person at base one “Alfred do you want to swap?” and he said “ Okay”. Alfred threw the ball under arm, and Fraser hit the ball so far no one could catch it. After Fraser stopped on base 3, because we will get him out at home base.


Lastly, Mrs Sigamony  told us “ Get the bases and give it to the monitors”.  Dora and I went to pack up the bases and get the gloves, balls and the bat. When we finished packing the gear we put it in the shed and went back into class. It was so fun playing.

What Is Causing Pollution In The Earth? By Fusi Faavae

What Is Causing Pollution In The Earth ?


Who Is Polluting The Air ?
People are using Vehicles and Motorcycles, and bad smokes comes out of the vehicles and thats how it pollutes the air.


Who Stop The Earth From Polluting The Air ?
There are people trying to stop the earth from polluting the air, because they notice that their country is in a lot of trouble with bad air, so they started to use other transport that does not need to have gas in it. Like Bicycles, and Rickshaws.


Why do we care about the earth?


We care about the earth because it’s important to us. It is where we live and also it is causing and affecting other people and affecting animals and creatures too.

My Reflection on Chromebooks

Hi, My name is Fusi, I am a year 5 student at Glenbrae School and in Room 9. My teacher is
Mr. D. Nath.

This Year was an exciting year for me because I started using a chromebook  as a tool in the classroom.  I was fascinated by the thought of doing so many cool things on my chromebook but it took me some time to really start using it effectively. There were so many things to learn and tried my best to learn as much as I could from my teacher, whanau and friends.

When we have been learning about Chromebooks, I have learnt Cyber, Accessing the class site, Blogging, Keyboard shortcuts, Using google application like google presentation, Creating new folders and document, Taking a screenshot, and Using Sumo Paint.


These are my Reflection on What I Did

I have learnt how to change the colour of my documents and my folders. I learnt from my friends this year how to do a screenshot and to blog my work on the internet.
I learnt how to make an account for gmail and I learnt how to go onto different sites to find answers for the hard questions. I also learnt what the different shortcuts on the keyboard and what they were used for.

I have learnt how to use a Chromebook and to do lots of different kinds of things on it, like how to send images through Gmail, change my background and to blog my work on my site. I also learnt how to use a Chromebook is to take a screenshot.

I have helped my friends in class with their Reading and their Maths in 12 Time Tables using the different learning sites on the internet.  I also helped my friends and showed them how to look up words on google when they don’t know what the words mean, Searching up answers for work on her topic study and a bit of Punctuation.

I am able to do Shortcuts on the Keyboard and on Chromebooks too. I’m able to Use google application like google presentation and Creating new Folders and Documents, using gmail and sharing my work on the blog, Read books online, Putting my own Presentation on a blog and answers question by searching.
