accomplishing a campground scene!🏕

This is my Year 6 clay art^. As a year 6 next year I would like to achieve going to camp.
What I made is about leadership, I want to be a strong year 6 and be in the student council.
I made it by using wet clay and air dry clay tools, it needing teamwork because mine fell on the ground and broke, I had to restart all over again!
That was also very challenging restarting because it was last minute!
I am proud that it actually turns out good, I am also proud that I am holding it without dropping it! 😃🏕

Destructive cyclones

Another name for a cyclone depending where in the world you are is a hurricane, cyclone or a typhoon!

How does a cyclone happen?

Cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as their fuel. They form only over warm ocean surfaces near the equator. Warm moist air rises upward from near the surface. Air moves up and away from the surface, there is less air near the surface.

The māori word for cyclone is Haumātakataka.

He āwhā nūi, ā, he tino kino tē puhi ō tē Haumātakataka / a hurricane is a

bad storm with a violent wind.

living by the rules!

1. Catherine acts like she know she is right and does not need to prove it. She does not give Amity a high five which make her feel sad inside.

2. They carry on with the game but then Catherine gets out and asks for another turn but Amity says no and they agree to let Lucy have a turn and then Catherine has another turn.

I enjoyed making the video with my friends. I disliked how we could not get in the part I wanted to get in. I also disliked how many times we had to do it!
