Alazae's apple poem

My First Post for 2013

Ki Ora. My name is Alazae. I like blogging because it is  cool way for e to share my learning with everyone. It also helps me to show some schools don't know what blogs are how to do blogging! At Tamaki Prmary school, we love blogging!!

Netbook reflection

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

P	M	I
Felt excited when we first got our netbook	Forgetting password	being able to email other people
Typing instead of handwriting, learned how to type	Netbook freezing	learning how to post comments on other people’s blogs (thoughtful, positive, helpful)
Easy and fast to use google docs	Mouse doesn’t work	Putting docs into different folders
We get to have our own blog, to share our learning with the world	When battery runs out	people come to visit us to see us using our netbooks
Get to comment on other people’s work, giving advice and feedback	Internet connection doesn’t work	watching interesting clips on youtube, manaiakalani
Researching new things on the internet		share work with teacher
Creating projects on google docs, presentations		making/editing movies

Start here:

At the start of the year Room 6 was very lucky to get black, shiny, brand new netbooks! I felt happy because we can do our work faster.

I have really liked netbooks because we work on google docs, presentations and we get to look at other people’s blogs. We also search on internet about our Inquiry topics, and find out about things like photosynthesis.

Some small problems have been when I forgot my password and when the connection stops. When it does that I have to tell my teacher about it.   

It has been really interesting when we can send emails to other people,and watch interesting links on manaiakalani.  Our teacher can send documents to the class. The things that our teacher sends on the documents can help us learn more about writing,maths,reading and inquiry.

Hope you had enjoyed my netbook reflection  

Hydro Power Explanation

WALT write an explanation including a definition, description and conclusion (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 rushes down the penstock, then the water spins the turbine.

This makes electricity which is stored in the generator. The electricity travels through the power lines to houses to cities.

After the water has gone through the turbine,it rejoins the river.

Hydropower is great because it is renewable.
