Poem on Tsunami, Chris

Tsunami

Tsunami are unusual waves that can cause great damage.

Sizes of tsunami can be quite large.

Unusual changes in the oceans can tell you that a tsunami might be coming.
Never stay to watch a tsunami.

Always be alert at the beach or in other coastal areas.

Move quickly but safely to higher ground if you think a tsunami might be coming.

If the earth shakes move to higher ground. A tsunami may soon strike your area.

Story Review, Chris

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.

Story Review, Chris

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.

Fishing Methods, Chris

Fishing methods facts.

Although there are many methods of catching fish, they fall into three main groups:

1. Catching fish singly or in schools by use of nets.

   2. Trapping fish in stationary gear, such as fish traps or     

        set nets.

   3.Attracting fish to get caught on hooks by use of bait,  

      artificial lures or others means such as light.

Before you go fishing  you must decide method that you want to use. There many factors to consider - especially if you are a commercial fisher. Factors include:

• Where you are fishing.
• What species you are fishing for.
• The weather and sea condition.
• The cost of the boat, gear and fuel.
• The market requirements.

 My Bio Poem

Chris

Sporty,gamey and playful

Lover of playing every sport, games and going to his uncle's house.

Who feels excited when he is going somewhere cool like Dick Smith.

Who wonders what the future would be like.

Who is scared when a centipede bites him.  

Who loves his brother, parents, and God.
