Informational Report #3

WALA: crafting an information report that is structured correctly and uses technical words to provide clear description

Mountains


There are many mountains all around the world.


Most of the mountains are very high and if you tried to climb them then you would have a high risk of dying even for mountaineers.


Mt Cook, K2 and Mt Everest are some of the mountains in the world.


K2
is a mountain in between China and Pakistan. It is 8,611 metres tall. It is a pyramid shape.


Mt Everest
is a mountain in between Nepal and Tibet. It is 8,848 metres tall. It is a type of pyramid shape with other small mountains connected to it.


Mt Cook

There are 14 mountains over 8,000 metres and are often referred to as the Eight-thousanders. All mountains are very tall with a high risk of death for mountaineers.

Modern Transport


Most types of modern transport require a person to control them, although driverless vehicle are currently being developed and tested.


The main modern transport to move people and property between countries or within countries is boats or planes.


Planes, Boats & Subways are some of the modern transports that we use now.



Planes
have to 2 wings, one door & many windows. Their are mainly flying in the sky. They can be any colour but they mainly have white.



Boats
are mainly found out at sea sailing or in a harbor. They are very rough.  They are a kind of rectangle,oval, triangle shape.  



Subways
are found under ground. They usually will be moving but otherwise it will be waiting. They are usually white.


Modern transport always need a person to control them or at least be in the vehicle. They can move property and people overseas. If we didn’t have modern transport then we wouldn’t be able to travel.

Drama Exam

Today I have to do a drama exam at the Uniting church. You have to do a book report & a speech about an exiting moment you have done. I'm picking my trip to Europe. 

British Columbia

In my class we have been researching and reporting about a community (or a country). I picked British Columbia and here is my work about it.

British Columbia
Culture & History
Since the retreat of the great glaciers about 10,000 years ago, Aboriginal populations have inhabited the British Columbia landscape.
British Columbia's first people may have journeyed to the region from Asia via a land bridge across the Bering Sea. As the ice receded, forests advanced and fluctuating sea levels exposed the temporary land passage linking Asia to the New World.
It is thought that British Columbia's coastal region became one of the most densely populated areas in North America. Prior to European contact, British Columbia's First Nations populations may have numbered some 300,000. The Aboriginal way of life would continue undisturbed for thousands of years, until the arrival of the British in 1778.

European Arrival

When British naval explorer Captain James Cook reached the west coast of Vancouver Island in 1778, he was eager to trade with the Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) people. In his wake, waves of European settlers arrived, carrying smallpox and other diseases that decimated Aboriginal populations in the late 1700s.
Nearly a century later, British agent James Douglas was searching the Pacific Coast for a new Hudson's Bay Company headquarters. He was welcomed by the Lekwammen, whose villages dotted the shores of what is now Greater Victoria. Douglas settled in and selected a site called Camosack. A year later, in 1843, Fort Victoria was built in the area now known as Old Town, the heart of Victoria's downtown.
Gold Rush in British Columbia
The discovery of gold in the Fraser River and the Cariboo brought a rapid influx of prospectors, merchants, pioneers and other colourful figures to BC in the 1860s. They came from around the world, arriving from as far away as China. It was a time of rapid economic expansion; sleepy hamlets became bustling cities, and new roads, railways and steamships were constructed to carry the extra load.
Boomtowns were born and legends made, but not all experienced good fortune. The Aboriginal peoples lost most of their ancestral lands and, in 1876, First Nations populations were made subject to the federal Indian Act, which regulated every aspect of their lives.
