This is my report writing. It explains what a volcano is. I hope you enjoy.

 What is a volcano?

A volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth. When pressure builds up, eruptions occur. Gases and rock shoot up through the opening and spill over or fill the air with lava fragments. Eruptions can cause lateral blasts, lava flows, hot ash flows, mudslides, avalanches, falling ash and floods. Volcano eruptions have been known to knock down entire forests. An erupting volcano can trigger tsunamis, flash floods, earthquakes, mud flows and rockfalls.

What Are Volcanoes like?
Volcanoes are formed when magma from within the Earth's upper mantle works its way to the surface. At the surface, it erupts to form lava flows and ash deposits. Over time as the volcano continues to erupt, it will get bigger and bigger. The Earth's crust is made up of huge slabs called tectonic plates, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. These plates sometimes move. The friction causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions near the edges of the plates. The theory that explains this process is called plate tectonics.

What are the different stages of volcanoes?
Scientists have categorized volcanoes into three main categories: active, dormant, and extinct. An active volcano is one which has recently erupted and there is a possibility that it may erupt soon. A dormant volcano is one which has not erupted in a long time but there is a possibility it can erupt in the future. An extinct volcano is one which has erupted thousands of years ago and there’s no possibility of eruption.
 Where Are Volcanoes Found?
Volcanoes are also found along the ring of fire. The Ring of Fire is a major area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. In a 40,000 km horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and/or plate movements. It has 452 volcanoes (more than 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes).


In this report I have explained what a volcano is, what it’s like, the different stages, and where they are found. I hope this helped you to have a better understanding!

This is my report writing about White Island, or Whakaari. In my report writing I have written about some of the events that have happened over the years. I have highlighted my paragraphs to show the topic sentence, main idea and supporting detail. I hope you enjoy my report writing.

White Island

New Zealand's most active volcano, White Island, was in a state of frequent eruption from 1976 to 2000.

Sitting 48 km offshore, White Island is New Zealand’s most active cone volcano which has been built up by continuous volcanic activity over the past 150,000 years. About 70 percent of the volcano is under the sea, making this massive volcanic structure the largest in New Zealand.

A sulphur mining venture began on the island in 1885. This was stopped suddenly in 1914 when part of the crater wall collapsed and a landslide destroyed the sulphur mine and miners' village. Twelve lives were lost. Whakaari's eruptions have produced both lava flows and explosive eruptions of ash. It is part of the Taupo Volcanic ZoneAt most times the volcanic activity is limited to steaming fumaroles and boiling mud.

Although privately owned, White Island became a private scenic reserve in 1953, and daily tours allowed more than 10,000 people to visit White Island every year. GeoNet monitors volcanic activity and visits the island around 10 times a year.

When was the most recent eruption?

The most recent eruption started in August 2012 with an explosive eruption on the 5th August, then a period of ash emissions. This was followed by heating in the Crater Lake and variable phreatic activity in early 2013 which removed the lake. By June the lake was re-established. A further explosive eruption followed on 20 August and again on 11 October 2013.

When and where were the previous eruptions?

White Island was in an eruption state from December 1975 to September 2000, the longest historic eruption episode. This eruption episode developed many collapsed and explosion craters. For long periods active vents in these craters spat out volcanic ash. The last major eruption of this episode was in  late July 2000 and covered the crater floor area in scoria, also displacing a crater lake and forming a new explosion crater 150 m across.

White Island will probably be New Zealand's most active volcano for years to come, but let's hope that no more accidents will occur on this amazing tourist attraction…

My Technology For Week 5 (Sushi)

My Cross Country Recount

“Ready… Set…” No… I thought. BANG. Oh no oh no…. But my legs just kept pulling me forward, wanting to get this over and done with. Hey… I was in front of Toko! But, ow! This hurts… I had a stitch…

Jogging… Jogging… I waited for this moment… Toko passed me. I knew I shouldn’t of ate anything… But no, i’m clever like that…

Jogging onwards, upwards and around the cone to get ticked. Woohoo one down, two to go. Running back down (more like falling) then SPLAT! Dammit my shoes! Oh well, I'll have to wash them when I get home. (If I even GET home) Into the water we go!! SPLASH! Ahhh that was refreshing… (I guess?)

Jogging/walking through water and mud (which wasn't actually that great, but hey I heard it's good for your skin. Not sure about the shoes, though) Mark number two, and still with a big stitch. Around the cone, falling back down, in the mud and then BAM! I fell on my backside into the mud. I was laughing on the inside a bit, but I had to get back up and finish this race! Past Whaea Meri, Jumping over the gorse (I felt like a ninja) back around the third cone, welp, here comes the chanting…

Coming along under the trees all I could hear was “KONRAD, KONRAD” Then “AREKA, AREKA” Man those little kiddies are loud. Then “TO-KO, TO-KO” soon after that “ANTHONY, ANTHONY” I thought my ears were gonna bleed.

Lap three still with a stitch! My mind kept telling me yes, but my body kept telling me no. God I don't know what I ate, only a few Tim Tams and drank deliciously infused mouth watering water, but that wouldn't be the case, would it? But if it was it was probably the Tim Tams. Walking, jogging… Mark three! YES! Just a bit more… Through the mud… Through the water… Last corner… Dig it in!! Yes!, I’m finished!

Whew! I’m glad that’s over. I thought I’d done pretty good for a person with a stitch. If I didn’t have a stitch I reckon I would've done better, but i’ll have that chance next year… Until then i’ll have to get my fitness and stuff up, but I know for next year… DON'T EAT TIM TAMS.

Anthony.

My Technology For Week 3

My Pokémon Go Report

Pokémon Go sending players home FURIOUS.

Pokémon Go users are probably furious (including me) of the update that shutdown third - party pokémon trackers but neither of these reasons are stopping people from installing the app. According from the App Store data, Pokémon Go just hit 100 MILLION downloads in the weekend. (Yes, you're not hallucinating) That's from 75 million downloads toward the end of July.

The game had previously hit 50 million downloads on Android in record time - 19 days. The next on the leaderboard were Color Switch and Slither.io at 77 and 81 days. Apple reported that Pokémon Go earned the most downloads on the App Store in a launch week. Ever.

Pokémon Go also receives $10 MILLION (sorry for the exaggeration) in daily revenues. BUT…. there's recently been another update, making pokémon harder to catch altogether. For instance, say you're playing in a car, right? Your map refreshes every 10 seconds now, so now you practically CAN'T catch pokémon while playing in a car. Personally, I hate everything about this, because I normally play in a car. Oh, and there's one more thing, the pokémon are freaking harder to catch, it's like Niantic’s trying to squeeze more money out of people. There's been A LOT of complaints about these updates from furious pokémon go players.

But that raps it up for my report, angry pokemon go players, Niantic getting heaps of money, But the real question is…. Will Niantic bring back the soul of the game? Only time will tell.

New Tohu For A New Term

Tautoro School - New Tohu For A New Term

The bell rang. BING! Matua Eric Wihongi had arrived at Tautoro School with the new Tautoro School sign. Everyone was so excited to see the new sign. Everybody was so excited, but all hope was lost. The new sign was covered mysteriously with a wharaki.

The oldest girl in the school, Kohuroa Matene had the honour to unveil the sign. All cameras on the new sign just aiming at it like it a target. 3… 2… 1 click, click, click “wow” everyone gasped. Everyone liked the new sign, it had all the 12 hoe on it .

The person who carved the pretty cool master piece was Matua Eric Wihongi. The person who carved the last sign was his dad, so it must have been pretty special for him to carve the updated sign.

In conclusion it must have been a cool day for Tautoro School to receive a new look for the pou outside of the school and it must of been pretty honourable to carve the sign.

I will always remember the great sign of Tautoro with its 12 hoes surrounding it.  What a day Tautoro School had.

Huge forest fire in Canada

A huge wildfire in the Canadian province of Alberta is growing further and could spill into neighbouring province of Saskatchewan.

The flames have already caused the evacuation of over 80,000 people from the oil city of Fort McMurray.

Many more are still stuck north of the city and their evacuation is still to take place.

Hot, dry and windy conditions are holding back efforts by hundreds of firefighters to tackle the blaze.

“In no way is this fire under control,” said Alberta Premier Rachel Notley.

The wildfire now covers an area of over 200,000 hectares, which includes areas still on fire and areas already burnt. That is basically double the size of Auckland City.

About 1,600 homes and other buildings have been lost, but no deaths or injuries have been reported.

Does music help us work?

Does music help us work?                             

Will music help you work? Some will and won't, it's probably as simple as that.  But I can't stop here, i have to explain what will help and what won't.

What music is better? While music with lyrics is good, it may not be the best if you're trying to concentrate, maybe low bass and no lyrics might be the way to go or familiar songs so you don't listen closely if you're listening to a new song. So no lyrics for the win!

If you're doing the same old tasks everyday, music can help repetitive tasks seem less boring. A series of experiments has investigated the relationship between the playing of background music during the performance of repetitive work and efficiency in performing such a task. The results give strong support to the contention that economic benefits can increase from the use of music in industry.

Now, what are the actual types of music that are best for concentration? Some types of music for concentration are, classical, electronic and video - game music. Why? They have no lyrics to distract the thinking or the minds of the person, but it's all up to your taste, if you don't mind lyrics, well then it's practically up to you really.

So does music help you work? In my opinion, yes, but it depends on your type of taste.

My First Draft Writing

Sponge cake

As we stomped our way to Room 1 I knew this was gonna be a failure….

First things first, we had to wash our hands because we were working on our safety and hygiene thingy.  After that we had to separate the egg whites from the yolks, but that didn't turn out quite as we expected…. “Hohepa you amatuer!” our group shouted, so then we had to get Jordan to tip it out in the stink bucket (A.K.A the pig bucket) and get some more eggs, “eah just let me and Antz separate the whites, you guys are amo’s” Konrad said to our group, luckily we were being a bit more careful this time, not complete you know what's. But we still didn't have as much as the others, so we just had to adjust to it.

After morning tea we had to whisk the egg whites until it was stiff “FASTER, FASTER, FASTER” our group shouted when Konrad was whisking the whites, eventually, they got stiff (sorta) and then we put ¾ cup of sugar (but since we only had a little bit of whites we used 2/4) and poured the destroyed little yolks in one at a time. After that we had to put flour, cornflour and baking powder in a cup, mix it thoroughly  and very (very) carefully pour in our small little mixture. “Hurry up bro, tip this in” Konrad said while tipping the floury stuff in. “Oh I'm not sure if this little mixture is gonna fill up the tin” I said with nervousness. “It'll have to for all this hard work” Jordan sighed. As we poured the mixture in the cake tin with mixed emotions, I felt this was going to turn into a black disaster, rather than a perfect sponge….

After lunch, the (not so perfect) sponges came out of the oven, they smelled nice, but didn't look that appealing to the eye. But one looked like the mother of all sponges (Kohuroa’s group) but unfortunately everyone else’s one was a bit lopsided (including ours) and then it was all over…. we definitely lost.
