A Natural Actor

A Natural Actor By David Hill

A Natural Actor by David Hill is a story about a girl named Tanya who was frightened of going on the stage to perform a play. When it was Tanya’s turn to go on to the stage she started coughing and she had hiccups.The audience laughed and thought that it was part of the play.Finally Tanya’s teacher gave her a coughing lolly and she stopped coughing.

The problem was solved when she had  hiccup in front of the audience. Then everyone laughed at her because they thought that was her act.  I liked this story because it was so funny when Tanya had  hiccups and the audience started to laugh because they thought that was Tanya’s act.

The Big Game

Tuesday 26th August 2014

The Big Game by  Sue Gibbison.

This story is about a family that wanted to go to watch a rugby game in their small town. They had  to do all the chores at home before they could be allowed to  go to the big rugby game in town.   The characters in this story are Mum, Shane, Karla and the children.

This story takes place at the rugby field. I learnt that the children finally got to see their  famous player. Mum wished that there was another big game so that the  children could do more chores for her.

I like this story because it is about rugby and rugby is my favourite sport.

How a waves made

Wednesday 14th May 2014

Facts about how waves are made.

1. In theory, low pressure systems are responsible for creating good and strong waves. In deep low pressure systems, wind speed is greater and more waves are generated by the power of the gusts.
2. The friction created by these winds helps to form energy waves that will travel thousands of miles until hitting final obstacles, which means, coastal areas where we live.
3. If winds created in low pressure systems keep blowing the surface of the ocean for a long time, swells will be bigger because energy is accumulated in all waves produced.
4. Also, low pressure winds affect a very large area of the ocean.
5. All waves produced by the swell will have even more energy and power, resulting in even bigger waves.

How Waves Are Made

Friday 9th May 2014

Facts about How Waves Are Made.

• Waves are mainly product from the wind.
• The best waves for surfing are the result of the interaction of winds on the surface of the ocean, far away from the coast
• Wind is the first step in the formation of surfable waves.
• Local shore winds can also produce waves, but they can also destroy the quality of the breaking waves.
• Onshore winds are typically known for creating choppy and bumpy waves because their effect is added to the direction of the wave.
• In a way, offshore winds are a sort of a counterbalance.
• Swell comes from miles away and the ground wind works as a "pause-hold" effect on the wave face, allowing longer unbreakable waves.

I got my information on waves from this link.
