I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 9 and in 2021 I will be a year 10. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

My report
Hi so today I am going to be talking about what things mean in meteorology. Let’s get into it.
First one isobar, An Isobar is a line on a map connecting points having the same
atmospheric pressure at a given time.
atmospheric pressure at a given time.
Next one is isotherm, An Isotherm is a line on a weather map or chart connecting points having
equal temperature.
Also called isothermal.
equal temperature.
Also called isothermal.
The third one is a millibar, A millibar is something that meteorologists use, it is a metric
unit of pressure called a millibar.
unit of pressure called a millibar.
Fourth one is front, A front is the edge of an advancing mass of air,
The Fifth one is prevailing wind, prevailing wind is a wind from the direction that is most usual
at a particular place or season.

The sixth one is doldrums, Doldrums is a state or period of stagnation or depression.
The seventh one is Cirrus, Cirrus is a cloud forming and shaped like feathers in the sky
The eighth one is evaporation, Evaporation is a process of turning liquid into vapour

Hell's pizza book challenge
Hi so today I have red 7 books to get a pizza from hells and I am going to tell you about three of them so the first one is Giraffes can't dance would recommend this for 5 - 11 year olds and my favourite bit was the ending part when all the animals were saying that giraffes can't dance but the giraffe could dance,
Here is a Photo of it.
The Next book is the cabinet of souls I would recommend it to 11 - 15 year olds because it is from goosebumps horror storys but it is an amazing book to read my favourite part was when they turned into demons apart from 1 and she had to save them.
Here is the cover.
And the last book was Elephant rescue and I would recommend it to people that can read chapter books but it is about Elephants getting rescued.
Here is the cover.

That is all from me bye see you soon.

This Is my poem for science it is about the weather there is more on the slide show I hope you like it

Opinion: I think the man was really nice to the pig. I think he did it so the pig can be his pet.

What happens with weather.
Storms
Thunder
Hurricanes
Monsoon Rains
The Weather is moving
The weather is caused by the circulation of air in the atmosphere. Air moves around the plants because of differences in temperature. The equator gets warmer because the sun shines directly on it. It’s cooler towards the poles, because the Sun’s rays are at an angle, and have less heating power. Warm air rises, cool air falls - it’s this air movement that drives the wind.
At the equator, warm air rises and moves away. It then cools and sinks in the subtropical areas (at 30º latitude). The areas of circulating air in the tropics are called Hadley cells.
At the poles, cold air sinks down and flows outwards. It is replaced by warmer air flowing in from above. These air flows are called Polar cells (above 60° latitude). In between the Polar cells and the Hadley cells, there are Mid-latitude cells of moving air between (30º to 60° latitude).
Air Carries water
As air circulates around the Earth, it carries large quantities of water vapour.
When the air cools, the vapour condenses into water droplets, and forms clouds. Inside clouds, water droplets bump together and get bigger. Eventually, the cloud becomes saturated and the water droplets fall to Earth as rain.
Warm air holds a lot more water vapour than does cold air, which can make the air in the tropics feel very humid (moist). This is also why Tropical places have high rainfall.
A water droplet usually needs a tiny particle to form around. Particles include smoke, dust or salt in the air.Air that’s very polluted creates smoke-fog (Known as smog) in cities. This air can be trapped near the ground.
High up in the clouds, it is very cold, and water droplets eventually freeze into ice crystals. (This height is called freezing level.) The crystals collide to form snow flakes, which fall when they are heavy enough.
Amazing invention - Cloud seeding
Scientist have figured out a way to make clouds release their snow or rain. A plane drops dry ice or silver iodide crystals into a cloud and water attaches to the crystals. Cloud seeding is most successful at producing snow over mountains.
Extreme weather
Storms
Jupiter has a massive hurricane (the red spot) that’s been blowing for centuries.Venus has clouds that rain sulfuric acid! Compared with the weather on the other planets, Earth’s weather has a comfortable range for human life. But, sometimes, extreme storms produce damaging winds, rain, and snow.
I learned that the weather is really important. So now I am learning more about it.
