IALT: write a report about the Christchurch earthquake in 2011. I hope you enjoy.

Christchurch Earthquake 2011.

An earthquake happened in Christchurch on 22 February 2011 at 12:51pm. and registered 6.3 on the richter Scale.

Earthquakes are a natural phenomenon that occurs in, on and below the surface of the earth.

On the 4 of September 2010 significant liquefaction affected over 400,000 tonnes of silt.  Streets and homes were covered in this grey silt and destroyed many homes.

First liquefaction occurs in saturated soils, that is, soils in which the space between individual particles is completely filled with water. This water exerts a pressure on the soil particles that influences how tightly the particles themselves are pressed together.

Christchurch's central city and eastern suburbs were badly affected, with damage to buildings and already weakened by the quake and its aftershocks. Most of the buildings crumbled easily. The old buildings of Christchurch were built in the 1800s. The bricks and masonry on Manchester Street crumbled with the second earthquake. This resulted in the collapse of most of the old and famous buildings in Christchurch.

While the first quake only lasted for exactly 10 seconds, the damage was dangerous because of the location and shallowness of the second earthquake.

My Term 4 Goals For This Term. I Hope You Enjoy.

Last week was an eventful week of entertainment. We wrote a recount about one of those events, and mine was about my sister, and cousins doing Kapa Haka. I have analysed my writing and I have included three things that I learned, and what I need to improve on.

Kapa Haka Performance.

On Thursday I went to the Northland College with my nan to watch my sisters Alice, Huri, and Waaka performs in the Kapa Haka.

Once we were ready to leave New World I was thinking that we wouldn't get there in time, but even when we go to Northland College we couldn't even find a spot to park our car, but did we get into the performance in time…? Yes, we did, we got in there just in time.

As I and my nan strolled into the hall I heard loud stomping on the stage, and I saw legs scattered everywhere. After the curtains opened the first person I saw was my sister Alice, I tried to find Huri and Waaka. Before they started their first song Te Matua, I started to record them. While I was recording my hands started to shake, I didn't know why the were shaking I couldn't stop. I heard a lot of people cheering for Tautoro “YEAH GO TAUTORO” I heard someone cheer.

After they finished their first song I got in another position and started to record again. Tautoro Awarua was the next waiata they sang, their actions were strong and their voices were loud and strong too.

List 3 things that you think you did well in this writing.

1 I organised my writing properly.

2 I have an idea in each paragraph.

3 I wrote more than I always do.

What do you need to work on to improve your writing?

I need to elaborate on some parts of my writing and use some descriptive words to engage my reader.

What I know about Daylight Savings.

By Maraea

Daylight saving is when the time goes back one hour and this happens in the summertime, for example 7am will become 6am.

This year it started on Sunday, 25 September 2016, 2:00a.m. Clocks are turned backwards one hour.  This means that we lose one hour of sleep. Sunrise and sunset will be about 1 hour later on 25Sep 2016 than the day before.

Daylight savings ends around the beginning of April 2016, Clocks are  moveded forward one hour to Sunday, 3 April 2016, 4:00a.m. Sunrise and sunset was about 1 hour earlier on 3 Apr 2016 than the day before. There was more light in the morning.

Daylight Savings Time is used to save energy and make better use of daylight. It gives us more time to work in the garden at home and more time to play.  Maui’s story on how he caught the sun is a story I remember on how we slowed the sun down.

Daylight Savings Time normally adds 1 hour to time with the purpose of making better use of daylight and conserving energy.

Early to bed, early to rise.
