Today I focused on my front handspring and learning how to land it correctly and efficiently.
The 3 main points were...
to keep your hands out straight the whole time.
make sure you push your hands up.
Make sure you are very straight in general like keep your back very straight.
Krakatoa
Where is it?
Rakata Island, Indonesia
When did it last erupt?
2020, started in 1883
Damage it has done?
Krakatoa has done a lot of damage to the places and people around it.
In 1833 Krakatoa first erupted. Ash fell on Singapore, Cocos Island, and ships as far as 6067 km west-northwest. Darkness covered the Sunda Straits from 11 a.m on the 27th until the next day. At least 36,417 people were killed, most people died from giant sea waves, and coastal villages were destroyed. When the eruption ended, only ⅓ of Krakatau remained above sea level and new islands formed from the magma spewing out of the volcano
It had destroyed and formed lands while also causing havoc for residents and other countries.
How and when was it formed?
Since Krakatoa lies along the Indian-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates its how it was formed. Because the two tectonic plates are dangerous at risk of high volcanic and seismic activity it's pretty common that one was made. It supposedly started/formed in 400 BC.
Interesting random facts?
the first eruption lasted one minute and 12 seconds
The 1883 eruption was the loudest sounds ever reported in the history
Records held that 165 villages and towns surrounding Kratatoa were destroyed and 132 more were seriously damaged
Karatoa had killed 30.000+ people
in August 1883 was one of the most deadly colacine eruptions in modern history, it is estimated that more than 36.00 people died. the eruption aslp affected the climate and caused temperature to drop over the world.
Karatoa belongs to the ring of fire

Today we finally made our volcanoes erupt
How we made it to erupt:
15ml of warm water
25ml of hydrogen peroxide
2 spatulas of potassium iodine into the warm water and stir.
Hydrogen peroxide food coloring and soap into the bottle that sits inside the volcano.
Warm water and potassium iodine is then added with the Hydrogen peroxide and soap which is how elephant toothpaste is made.
Here's our video we got of our volcano erupting.
We do have a video of the eruption but we are still waiting for it to send. Technical difficulties.
Tangaroa: 
Tangaroa is the ‘God of the Sea” Maori, Polynesian people and their ancestors lived close to the sea and relied on it for food and other resources. Maori believe that water is an energy because of its many different moods that change frequently. The sea has many different spiritual importances too for example the sea is where life started like fish. Fish then started to evolve into humans and amphibians “things that can live both on water and land”. Tangaroa is the son of Papatuanuku ‘The earth mother’ and Ranginui ‘The sky father’. With some stories it is said that Tangaroa is husband to Papatuanuku and Rivil to Ranginui.

Character Paragraph: Ellie
One of the important moments for Ellie is When she returns home to a different world. After a camping trip in ‘Hell’ Ellie and her friends arrive back to empty homes. She is scared and confused by the fact that everyone is gone. She becomes distraught when she realises that her dogs have been attacked. This is a key moment because Ellie realises that there might be a war on. The impact of this moment is the realisation that something very serious has taken place.This moment shows the reader that Ellie is understanding that something larger has begun. Ellie’s reaction makes the reader think about war and invasion and how we would react in similar circumstances. For instance a quote in the novel that shows Ellie has changed is “It was hard for me to believe that I, plain old Ellie, nothing special about me, middle of the road in every way, had probably just killed three people” pg 95. This shows Ellie has changed because she notices and reflects back to the old her. With this quote she is basically saying that the old her would never think about killing people but with the circumstances she is facing it's all about survival. All this information basically concludes that Ellie has changed a lot whether that be physically or mentally this also shows she is a very important character in the novel Tomorrow, when the war began.
