WALT: Increase our knowledge by reading a wide range of texts (Article a day - Book of Knowledge)
On Readworks, our task was to read the text, and then we had to write two or three sentences of what we have learned. I had fun reading and writing the text because it helped me learn more things about Hurricanes.
I have learned that Hurricanes are large, swirling storms with winds of 119 kilometers per hour (74 mph) or higher. That's faster than a cheetah, the fastest animal on land. I have also learned that a hurricane is categorized by its wind speed using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. Category 1: Winds 119-153 km/hr (74-95 mph) - faster than a cheetah Category 2: Winds 154-177 km/hr (96-110 mph) - as fast or faster than a baseball pitcher's fastball Category 3: Winds 178-208 km/hr (111-129 mph) - similar, or close, to the serving speed of many professional tennis players Category 4: Winds 209-251 km/hr (130-156 mph) - faster than the world's fastest rollercoaster Category 5: Winds more than 252 km/hr (157 mph) - similar, or close, to the speed of some high-speed trains.
