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

Kiwis in New Zealand

A kiwi bird is a small flightless bird. It is only found in New Zealand. The kiwi has a long beak it uses for getting food.  A kiwi is covered in brown feathers and it is about 50 cm tall.  It’s about 20 cm long and its feet are about 9 cm long. It’s feet are strong and they have sharp claws. This helps them run fast and fight predators.
The kiwi lives in rainforests and special protected islands around New Zealand, and also islands like Brown Island, Stewart Island and Waiheke. Kiwis eat worms and their beak helps the kiwi get their food. The beak has nostrils for sniffing out their food. A kiwi can live for 25 to 50 years and it finds dark places to live. They lay their  eggs every season.The  kiwi can run faster than a human. It sleeps during the day and hunts for food at night time.  
I think that kiwis are a nice bird that represents New Zealand.
