Today in science we watched a video about a fake volcano erupting in Auckland.
One day I was at the beach when I felt a shake coursed by the magma flow pushing up into the crust but first you could see steam coming from the water also I saw ash come flying up to the sky I was like it could of been smoke until it got bigger which made me scared and worried then the ash and steam started to spread around the sky and you could see bomb's and blocks flying out as well.After the volcanic eruption the lava started to flow and also when the volcano erupted it pushed Auckland off the hotspot and created another new island was made and the form of it was like a volcano if the top going up like a triangle and the bottom is kind of flat..In the video it sound like guns and bomb's have been going of like it was a war which would be scary if you were there and you could see the ash and rocks falling into the water to create a noise.
Thanks for reading.

Hi Michael, here's your point score!
You correctly used (for 3 points each):
magma
crust
steam
ash
bombs and blocks
lava
island
I liked how you said 'scared and worried' instead of just one of them, and 'flow' to describe the lava, and how you used a simile comparing the eruption to war; so you can have 2 points for each of those things!
You didn't lose any points for not using capitals at the start of sentences, but I'll have to take off 2 points for all of the sentences being really long - some could be broken up into smaller ones with full stops or exclamation marks!!
So your total score was 25!
I think your explanation of how magma pushes up through the crust after it is made by the bottom of the crust melting is good. I know what you mean by saying the eruption pushes Auckland off the hotspot, but that isn't quite true. The hotspot is always under us, and tectonic plates only move a few mm or cm every year! After an eruption happens, there is less pressure under the ground, so it won't happen again for a long time.
Thanks for sharing your story :)
