Netbook Reflection
WALT record what learning on our netbooks this year has been like, what we have enjoyed, what has been difficult, what has been interesting
At the start of the year Room 6 was very lucky to get black, shiny, brand new netbooks! I felt excited when we first got our netbook because we got to type instead of writing in our books with a pencil. We got to have our own blog, to share our learning with the world and get to comment on other people’s work, giving advice and feedback.
I have really liked the way we can create projects on google docs make presentations, documents and drawings.
Some small problems have been forgetting passwords, netbook freezing and people can’t do their work. Mouses don’t work and people need to do important things on their netbooks and Internet connection is disconnected.
It has been really interesting when people come to visit us to see us using our netbooks. I have enjoyed watching interesting clips on youtube about our Inquiry topics.
It has been really fun and wonderful using our netbooks this year!

Hydro- Power Explanation
WALT write an explanation of how a Hydro-power station works
A hydro-dam is an amazing structure that makes electricity from water!
Firstly you build a dam to block the river. Water then builds up behind the dam. This is called a reservoir.
It then goes through the intake then goes through the penstock.
Then this makes electricity which is stored in the generator.
The water hits the turbine and it spins very fast.The electricity then travels through the power lines to houses and cities.
Renewable energy resources,such as wind,solar and hydro-power,offer clean alternatives to fossil fuels. They produce little or no pollution or greenhouses gases, and they will never run out.

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
