My Mihi

First Post for 2013

Hello, my name is Ashton. I am so excited to be back on my blog. Keeep on checking out my blog to see all the amazing work that I am doing.

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 really happy when I opened the box that my netbook was in. All I saw was a little black laptop, I felt really happy. All of the class was happy and excited as well.

I have really liked my netbook because of all the fun things that we can do on it. We can search things on the internet. You can learn where to put your full stops and speech marks. I like my netbook because we get to have our own blog.

Some small problems have been when the internet connection doesn’t work and sometimes my mouse freezing. Also when the battery dies out.

How Does Coal Make Energy

Renewable (will not run out) energy source:
solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, biomass.

Non-renewable (will run out) energy source:
natural gas, coal, petroleum.


This is how coal is used to generate (make) power:

Coal is made from the trees. The trees and plants stay underground for over a million of years.

Number 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
