I did a project on Mount St Helens. It was very interesting and I found out a lot of new information.   My Aunty used to live about 2 kilometres away from Mount St HelenS. She left 5 weeks before the eruption.

I made a papier mache model showing before and after a tsunami. I found out that tsunamis are extremely dangerous. The wave can be as high as 30 metres and can cause damage and flooding. It can change the shape of the land.

We worked together to find out about what causes erosion at our school and tried to suggest ways to stop this from happening. We found out that the main reason was human impact such as taking short cuts, digging in the dirt and favourite play areas (goal square).
