A surface current is a current that moves on or near the
surface of the ocean.

Fact Card #6: List the factors which control the surface
currents. 

Air currents, earth's rotation and location of continents.

Questions Worksheet 

Fact Card#8: How are deep currents generated in ocean? 

Difference in the water density due to the temperature
gradient.

Fact Card#9: Write down the characteristics of cold and
warm water. 

Cold water is more dense and warm water is less dense.

Fact Card #10: Which ocean currents travel faster? 

Surface currents travel much faster Then deep ocean
currents. 

Fact Card #11: Write the factors that cause the deep
currents. 

Deep currents are caused by the temperature, salinity
and the density of the water.

Fact Card #12: How do the Sun and the Moon cause the
ocean currents? 

 From the gravitational pull of the sun and moon Which also
causes currents. 

Fact Card #13: Give the definition of wave. 

A wave is a rhythmic movement that can that carries
energy through the matter or space 

Fact Card#14: What are the causes of waves? 

Waves are caused by wind earthquakes and the gravity
of the moon and sun. buy

Questions Worksheet 

Fact Card#15: List the characteristics of a wave. 

Wavelength, way fight, crest and Trough

Fact Card#16: Write the parameters on which the wave
height is dependent.
Wind speed distance over which the wind blows the
length of time (fetch) the wind blows. 

 Fact Card #17: What happens during tide? 

Tired as a periodic rise and fall of the sea level under the
gravitational pull of the sun and moon.

Fact Card #18: What do you mean by high tide? 

High tide is where the water is at its highest. 

Fact Card #19: What do you mean by low tide? 

Low tide is when the water is at its lowest.

Fact Card #20: How does the Moon’s gravity pulls ocean
water?
The moon's gravity pulls the water on the earth towards
it and the water moves up into bulge. 

Fact Card#21: What is the cycle duration of high/low tide? 

Generally 1 high tide or low tide cycle happens every 12
hours.

Fact Card#22: Define tidal range. 

The difference in ocean level between high tide and low tide.

Fact Card#23: When does spring tide occur? 

Spring tides happen when the Earth the sun and the moon
are in a line. 

Fact Card #24: Which tides occur during full/new moon? 

Spring tides occur during new the moon and the full moon
in the new moon

Fact Card #25: When does neap tide occur?

 Neap tides happen when the moon and sun are
perpendicular to each other 

Fact Card #26: Which tides occur during quarter moon? 

Neap tide 

Fact Card #27: Which tides are known as weak tides? Why? 

Neap tides are weak because the moon and the sun pull
The water and make it weaker.

Fact Card#28: Which tides are known as strong tides? Why? 

Spring tides are strong tides because the moon and the
sun's gravitational force combined to create a strong tide.

Hatchet Book Review

Statistical Investigation Cycle

Marae Visit | WPCA

This week room one and room eight stayed the night at the Arahura Marae.

When we arrived we walked to the gates and waited for a few minutes to be let in. when we got let in the gates the tangata whenua started calling us to the front of the marae. after that we took off our shoes and sat down inside and then sung some waiata and we also gave them our gift.

After that we went back out to the cars to grab our bags and put them in the place where we were going to sleep. Then we learnt about the stories and history of the carvings that were in the marae.

A few hours later we got the options of 2 activitys I picked carving and rippa rugby. The next day we walked to the beach for about an hour to make sand sculptures of the characters from the story we were told before we left. Then we packed up our stuff and left to do the mananui tramline walk.  

Lightning Never Strikes Twice

WALT use adjectives and similes to describe a setting clearly

Lightning Never Strikes Twice

Aaaaaaah screamed the old fat cat lady outside as she woke me up from my sleep. I looked out the window and I saw IT! The MASSIVE Black cloud was flying above the windmill

I knew there was no time to run. The sky turned grey BANG! Lightning had put the cat lady’s house in to flames AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!! She repeated as her hair burst into flames. I hid under some boxes and acted like I never saw anything. I peeked out the window and I noticed another windmill opposite me I could see a slight figure of a girl standing at the window. Crack! The wind started to pull the windmill apart. It broke like a popsicle stick house. Suddenly I saw that the roof was falling and I knew that it was the end.

My Mihi

Poroporoaki

In Ruma Tahi we made a stop motion animation on something that happens at a marae. Here is my work.

My Chance And Probability Work

This term we have been learning about chance and probability in maths. Here is my DLO (digital learning object) about chance and probability. Please leave a kind, positive and thoughtful comment. 😳😉😃☺. Slides schange every 10 second.
