How Waves Are Made

How Waves Are Made?

1. Waves are mainly blown from the wind.
2. The best waves for surfing are the interaction of winds on the surface of the ocean.
3. Local shore winds can also produce waves but they can also destroy and break down waves.
4. Wind is the first step in the formations of surfable waves.
5. In deep water, low pressure wind speed is good and more waves are generated by the power.

I got my information from this link.

Netbook Reflections

Hi my name is Dora. I am 9 years old and I am a year 5 at Glenbrae School. I am a student from room 9 and my Teachers name is Mr Nath.

As you know, I have learnt about lots of different things like Cyber safety, accessing the class site, Blogging, Keyboard shortcuts, using google applications like google presentations create new folders and documents, using tools, taking screenshots and using Sumo paint.

I learnt to type faster on the Chromebook and I learnt lots of things on my chromebook. I learnt how to copy and paste, move things if they are not in the right place. I have learnt how to use the different docs on Google Drive and I have to admit, it is a million times better than using my books and pens. I am able to think about something and then find the information on google or different sites. I am able to be responsible while on the internet.

Docking Day

The Docking Day  by Amanda Jackson

This story is about a Sheep farm family who go down to the paddocks to do docking. The children helped a bit but most of the time they rolled down hills and chased rabbits. While the family was busy docking, a chocolate truck tumbled down the hill and crashed on a tree. Then the family helped the truck driver collect all the boxes that had fallen out of the truck.

The characters in this story are Aunt Mollie,Mikey,Uncle Tama and the truck driver.

This story takes place in a paddock that was by the sea.

I liked this story because they had Christmas decorations  to hang up for docking day.
