Serious cyclones

I have been researching about natural disasters, but mostly cyclones here are some facts about cyclones. Did you know every cyclone has a name after a girl.

How it happens:

Cyclones form over warm areas like water but the water has to be over the heat of 25 degrees. Cyclones use warm moist air as their fuel. They only form near the equator. Then the cyclone rises upward close to the surface.

Parts of a cyclone:

Cyclones need warm, rising air which helps form the shape of a cyclone. They also need rain bands, the eye wall and the eye. Cyclones can grow as big as two cities.

How to get through it:

• Bring your family into the strongest part of your house.
• If your house begins to break get under a strong object or table. Turn off all your appliances.
• Keep an emergency kit in hand.
• Close all windows.

Maori connection:

Tāwhirimātea is the god of wind and storms.

Example of impact on NZ:

One of the most dangerous cyclones are called cyclone bola which hit us, New Zealand in 1998. It caused lots of damage to places that we never could of imagined. It causes people to panic in fear, it even destroyed houses and killed lots of people. Most of them were injured.

Interesting facts and trivia:

The word cyclones come from an old greek story about cyclops. Cyclones spin clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Anti clockwise in the northern hemisphere. Every cyclone has a name after a girl.

Conclusion:

To conclude these are some facts about cyclones and what to do in it. Be aware of a cyclone, From where it will start and end. I think you should stay away from cyclones or just stay inside.

Matariki Waiti

What is Waiti?

The flow of the lakes and rivers streaming down the side of the mountain, like a waterfall falling down glistening in the shining sun,hearing the sound of the waterfall crashing down into the river.splashes glore,gradually flowing side to side,colliding with the rocks all the way down. That’s Waiti.

Waiti, rivers and lakes.

Glistening in the shining sun.

Zero waste T2 W2

Does zero waste take Awapuni school seriously.I absolutely agree that we do take zero waste seriously, and here are several reasons why.

Firstly. I strongly agree that Awapuni school takes zero waste seriously because for nearly a whole term we have been learning about it. So there’s no wasting your zero waste knowledge and throw it away. The research of zero waste comes handy to see which rubbish goes in which that’s why we hanged up all this info around our classroom.

Secondly. Green team comes around our classrooms and checks our rubbish and they also check if our goose paper is tidy. They even probably spend their own working time to go out into the garden and plant stuff for our school environment. For instance the green team also help our garden and environment by not cutting them down for no reason,because the trees and plants like to get the carbon and like to absorb it then breathe it out so we can breathe fresh air for us to live. The green team for example we reduce our carbon footprint by planting the trees and plants.

Finally. We take zero waste seriously by being kind to our environment and picking up our rubbish and putting it into our lunch boxes to take home. Every time we leave home to go to school we always check that we have turned off everything is turned off so we don’t waste electricity.

For these reasons this is why i think that Awapuni is taking zero waste very seriously. So this is why and how Awapuni takes zero waste seriously
