We listened to a Ten News weather report yesterday. Firstly we paused the video and talked about what we could see. 1C worked out that the orange part is a map of Australia. We talked about what the blue swirl could be. Some of 1C thought it might be a big wave, a tornado or a cyclone. After listening to some of the report, we knew that the blue swirl was Cyclone Yasi.
The class talked about where we lived and we tried to work out where Bribie Island was. Some of the class came up and pointed to where they thought it might be. We discussed that we live closest to Brisbane so when we listened to more of the report, we were looking out for the word 'Brisbane'. We also listened for the words: Queensland, Cyclone and Yasi.

When the reporter said the numbers next to the places, she also said the word 'degrees' after them. We now know that the numbers next to the places are how hot or cold it is going to be. We discussed that the higher the number, the hotter it is going to be.
Kia Ora,
ReplyDeleteNew Zealand children are on holiday for another week. Most of New Zealand in a cold snap. This means Christchurch and Burnham have snow and it has settled down to sea level. Normally Christchurch might receive a snow once every three years!!! I know my children are excited to make a snowman when the snowing finishes.Here is a live weather cam on Christchurch http://weather.crowe.co.nz/Webcam.aspx.
