One thing that i am proud of is My maths. i feel like I have improved on what Measurement and Algebra.
I have Dared to succeed by always trying my best at everything. I have Learned with purpose by Always doing my work well and on time, and I have Engaged with Mana by Helping my friends when they need help.I have helped others and been respectful during class. One of my goals is to get over 16 questions right every single time we have a weekly quiz. 
5. Think about the holidays - what is one thing you are really looking forward to? Why?
I am really looking forward to being with my family for the rest of the holidays, and being able to do fun things with them.

I was wandering along the street, and then i saw it. the treasure that changed my life. A Diamond! it was buried underneath the pavement, with just a little piece jutting out of the ground. i picked it up, and then I was transported to another dimension. it felt like i was swirling around and around. all i could see was a dark purple colour swirling around me. i look down, and realise it is also dark purple, and realise that this diamond was a trap. as i wondered what would happen to me, it started glowing brighter and brighter.....

What is a Volcano?

This is a piece of writing that i did a few weeks ago. I hope you enjoy it.

𝖂𝖍𝖆𝖙 𝖎𝖘 𝖆 𝖁𝖔𝖑𝖈𝖆𝖓𝖔?

A volcano is a mountain or hill, normally a cone shape. It has a crater or vent, which lava, pieces of rocks, extremely hot vapour, and gas, which erupt from the inside of the earth's crust. There are 3 types of volcanoes: the Dormant, Active, and Extinct. Dormant volcanoes are volcanoes that are not currently erupting, but are expected to in the near future. An example of this is Mount Kilimanjaro, which is in Tanzania, and has 3 volcanic openings. It is not currently erupting, but is expected to in the near future. One of the most active volcanoes is Mount Kilauea, in Hawaii, and is nearly 300-600,000 years old, which is very old for such an active volcano. One of the extinct volcanoes is Mount Buninyong, which means it has been inactive for over 10000 years, and is not expected to erupt again. The pacific ring of fire is where most of the eruptions happen, as well as a lot of earthquakes.

The structure of a volcano is different to normal mountains. It’s most well known part of it is the crater, which sits at the top of the volcano. This is where most of the lava flows out of the volcano, as it is the largest opening, and if the volcano should erupt, and it isn’t calm, then it will be spewed out of the crater extremely fast and violently. The lower part of it is the magma chamber, or reservoir, where the lava originates from. Then there is the throat. It is what the lava rushes up to reach the crater and erupt. There is the ash cloud, which while it isn’t part of the actual mountain, is still a large part of it. It can reach for many kilometres, and is deadly. It can make it hard to breathe, block out the sun, and make it even more dangerous to be around an erupting volcano. Another part is the conduit, which is at the very heart of the mountain, where material goes from underneath the surface. That is where the magma reservoir is located.

The difference between lava and magma isn’t that much. Magma is molten rock that is stored underneath the earth's surface, while lava is just molten rock that has managed to reach the surface and escape from a volcano's crater vent or throat. Magma is in the upper mantle, and only becomes lava when it reaches the surface and erupts from a volcano. Lava can either erupt from a volcano violently, and with a lot of force, or calmly, just slowly flowing out of the crater. However, both of these are extremely dangerous, with lava above earth burning many things it touches, and magma below earth, making it hot and hard to reach the core.

A volcano would normally erupt because magma has pushed itself up to the surface. Magma is lighter than rock, so it floats up to the planet surface. Any watery magma flows out of vents and becomes lava. If there is any really thick magma, then it can stop gas bubbles from escaping, which makes a lot of pressure. If there is too much pressure, then the volcano will erupt, normally violently, but occasionally calmly, and cause a lot of destruction.

That is a volcano, a force of nature that is powerful, and can cause a lot of devastation. It has three parts of a life cycle, Active, Dormant, and Extinct. It’s structure is unique, and different to normal mountains. The difference between lava and magma is mostly defined by where they are, and a volcano erupts because of too much pressure. I hope you have learned something useful today, and I hope to inform you of anything else that i may write about.

I wander through the snow, wondering how long it will take me to finally reach my end destination, when a glint of silvery metal catches my eye. i lift my snout up, and smell fresh human meat to eat. i wander towards my delicious prey, but as i near, it notices me, and goes to the opposite side of the glinting metal. i see it reach into the pocket of its clothing, and pull out a piece of metal, and holds it up to it's head. i try to climb over the large piece of metal. sadly, the meat leaves.

clap clap clap clap clap i hear as the curtains fall. As one we wait until the curtains rise again, and then bow deeply for our loving audience. we quickly walk off stage and then the elephant begins his speech. we had just performed at the World Wide animals performance. we were a circus from tasmania. our leader was a tasmanian devil. he rode a motorbike on a wire suspended 20 metres above the ground. I performed as a fire breather/swallower, and could down bottles of gasoline and dump a lit match down my throat, and still miraculously survive.

"RUN!" I yell as I dash away from the ancient temple. For weeks we had searched for the Lost temple of Gold. we had entered it, and heard viola playing, and not realised that they were playing the song of our doom. we ventured past arrow shooting walls, pits full of deadly orange lava, and deadly spikes smashing towards you from the ground. we finally entered the,main chamber, took the Golden Idol, and ran. however, we triggered a massive earthquake that destroyed the only exit out. we found another way out, but then a giant snake chased after us

100 WC #2

Hello little hero, I hear as I enter the house. I should have run then. I really should have. But I stayed, and adventured forwards. Where are you going, the voice says again. I ignore it, but then I hear it laugh. You really shouldn't go that way, it said in it's evil, inquiring way. I creep up the stairs, but on the ninth step, I fall straight through it. I fall into a basement, and hear The Voice once more. It laughs, and says that I am only making its job easier. That's when I knew I should run.
