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 over excited when I first saw the netbook. Netbooks are like small little laptops and we can just work on our netbook instead of in our books.

What I really liked about my netbook was that we can have our own blog. We can send emails to our teacher so he can check our work. We get to have our own blog, to share our learning with the world.

Some small problems have been when my netbook has been frozen for 30 seconds and my mouse frozen for 5 seconds.

It has been really interesting learning how to post comments on other people’s blogs (thoughtful, positive and helpful).

I think netbooks are perfect for our learning!
 

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 the reservoir.

Water then goes through the intake and rush down the penstock. Then it hits the turbine and spins it very fast.

The electricity has been stored into the generator. Then the electricity travels to houses and cities. After the water has gone through the turbine, it rejoins the river.

Hydro-power is good because it is renewable.
