Cybersmart - Quality Blog Commenting

IALT: Write a quality blog comment on other schools blogs.
Kia ora and welcome back to my blog! Today, I have been learning how to write quality blog comments on other schools blogs, from the Manaiakalani cluster.

What I enjoyed during blog commenting was getting to learn from others in the Manaiakalani cluster, and also having a chance to interact with this person. It was fun connecting with them, because I got to learn new things and had also got to share with other schools what I've been learning at my school.

Something challenging about blog commenting, was trying to find a blog for me to comment on. This was because we had to comment (positive, thoughtful, and helpful comments) on other school blogs, not just on one school.
But, I did manage to finish my blog commenting.

The schools that I have blog commented on was:
Pt.England , Panmure Bridge and Ruapotaka.

The best blogpost that I liked from these 3 schools come from Pt England.
Pt england, Rm 2. I've enjoyed their blog post - "Matariki Macarena", because it gave me a flashback from 2017, when my class had tuakana teina. - We also did the Matariki Macarena as we were learning about Matariki.

Questions: Do you think I have reached the standard of quality blog commenting?
                  Do I need to improve on something?

Social Science - Natural Disasters

IALA: Natural Disasters
Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog!

Today for science I have been researching about a Tsunami and how it occurs!
Quick Fun fact: Did you know that a Tsunami can rise up to 100 feet tall, depending on how strong it is? Wow!
If you don't how tall 100 feet is, it is the size of the statue if liberty.

In my definition:
A Tsunami is a huge tide generally caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or landslides. Tsunamis are also like rising sea levels. When tsunamis are near coastal lines, they tend to slow down and grow in height.

Web Definition:
A long, high sea wave caused by an earthquake or other disturbance.

Honestly, I am really scared of Tsunamis and I always think to myself 'Do we get Tsunami warnings?'
Actually, we do. There are Tsunami warning systems attached to buoys in the ocean, which signal to the satellite and for it to signal to our televisions. These warning systems are called 'Hydrophone'.

Also, to notice if a Tsunami is about to happen, you'll be able to see that the sea is starting to move back dramatically. This signals that the Tsunami will happen in a few seconds.

I am still researching about Tsunamis. : Stay update, so you can learn more about Tsunamis.

Something I found challenging during my research, was trying to find good websites that don't have too much information, but just enough for me to read. Something I can skim read through.

Funny fact:
I thought that, when a Tsunami happens - A huge tide just comes up and drops onto earth.

Besides this,
Have you learned anything about a Tsunami?
Do you have any questions? - So that I can research about it and tell you. !

This is the end of my blog and I hope you enjoyed!
