Active Earth

In Term 2 we were learning about Active Earth. This movie is about volcanoes and the layers of the earth. Volcanoes can be violent when they erupt. Plate movement can cause volcanic eruptions and earthquakes like the ones we have seen in Christchurch recently.

Active Earth

This is a movie about volcanic eruptions in Auckland. It looks at dormant volcanoes like Mt Wellington. Movement below the earth's crust makes magma rise up to the surface and come out in a volcanic eruption. The magma cools down and becomes volcanic rock like the ones we saw on our trip to One Tree Hill.

Reflection for 2010

My 2010 Reflection
What have you enjoyed this year?

This year one of my highlights was going on some of the rugby trips. The Manukau Rovers, looked like a tough team of boys to beat, and they were! Even though they beat us they were an awesome team to play because they made us step up our game! After the game we shook hands. I was proud to be playing for Pt England. It made me want to try my best!

What have you enjoyed doing the most?

I have enjoyed trying to write more stories. Having a blog has helped me. People from around the world can see all of our writing

Which things do you think you would have liked to do more of?

I would like to learn more maths.. This could help me in the future.


What were some of your best memories from this year?

Some of my best memories from this year include going to One Tree Hill with our class. We walked up to the crater to look at the volcanic rocks. I decided to make my name out of rocks. It was a long day but it was exciting and fun. Playing Capture the Flag on the field was a great way to finish the day off!
