Natural gas

WAL about different power sources (where we get power from), and whether they are renewable or non-renewable:

Renewable (will not run out) energy source:
solar,wind,water,biomass

Non-renewable (will run out) energy source:
coal,natural gas, and oil

This is how natural gas is used to generate





















                                                                                                             







                                                                                                             




                                                                                                             

MATHS FRACTIONS

In Maths this term we have been learning about FRACTIONS


I can find fractions of whole numbers like:

½ of 12 = 6                   ⅓ of 9=  3              1/10 of 20= 2

⅔ of 12=  8                      ⅘ of 10=  8            

I can recognise when a  fraction is greater than 1:

½ + ½ + ½ = 1 1/2

⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ = 1 1/3

7/4 = 1 3/4

What is personal?

We have been learning what is personal and what is private information online.

Personal information we can share online   e.g. favourite things, hobbies, favourite food, first name, age

Private information we do not share online   e.g. home address, birth date, home phone number, full name. If we are not sure we keep it private.

My name is Ajani I am 8 years old I am a girl. My favourite sports are netball and soccer. When I grow up I want to be a netball player. My favourite singer is Nicki Minaj and Rihanna. My favourite colours are purple,pink and yellow.

How plants grow best

WAL: about how plants grow best


This is what I think about how plants grow.
We will be doing some experiments to find out if it is true.

1. How much sunlight do plants need to grow?

2. Can plants grow in the shade? Can they grow inside? No because they need sunlight to grow. No because they might die.

3. Can plants grow better by talking to them? Why? No because they don’t have a mouth and they can’t talk.

4. Can plants grow in sand? or rocks? Why?No because you can only grow it in soil.

5. How much water do plants need to grow? What type of water?
Not much just fresh water

6. Can you feed plants food? If yes, what kind?No because they don’t have a mouth to eat

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

WAL about how plants grow and what they need to grow





My explanation of how Photosynthesis works:
The plants need water, carbon dioxide and sunlight to make sugar so they can grow tall.
