Room 6 Class Treaty  

WALT post on our blog about our class treaty

At the start of the year, Room 6 decided on some rules to include in our class treaty.
Here are 5 that I think are important:

Learning

• Try your best

Working Together

• Flowing the noise chart

Relationships

• Show respect to all our classmates

Responsibilities

• Tidy up when we are finished

Behaviour

• Show tolerance and treat people how you would like to be treated.

Hydro Dam 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 down the penstock.Water hits the turbine and spins it very fast.

This makes electricity which is stored in the generator.The electricity then travels through the power lines to houses and cities. After the water has gone through the turbine, it rejoins the river.

A dam is an amazing idea because it can power up anything that has electricity. It can power up your car and any machine.It is also renewable.

Solar Power Energy

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:
Biomass,solar power,Wind,electricity,hydropower,uranium,Geothermal

Non-renewable (will run out) energy source:
Coal,Natural gas,Petroleum,


This is how Solar is used to generate (make) power

How does power move?

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
