  11. ITEAL reflection of Emma’s Now I can tell other people how a hurricane forms. Saving water Hurricanes Tsunami I never knew how important water was. I never knew what a hurricane was or what made a tsunami. A tsunami is terrible. I am going to turn the tap off when I am brushing my teeth or turn it on half way. I will watch the news more. I feel sorry for countries that don’t have that much water. I am shocked. It is sad. Reflection on the week by year 5 girl.
