Hydropower-By Tyla.

Hydroelectricity has been a part of New Zealand for nearly 100 years!

  

In New Zealand our hydropower sources are powered by dams over rivers. There are sometimes protests against making more dams in NZ because we don’t want to ruin our natural environment. Hydroelectricity supplied around 20% of the world's  electricity in 2006.

The more water there is, the faster a turbine spins and it can make more electricity. Hydropower is the largest source of energy used in New Zealand.

Room 12 Helps Us Out!

This afternoon 4 students from Room 12 (Miria, Don, Elizabeth and Damien) popped into our room to show us how to embed videos, improve the layout of our presentations and use animations and backgrounds in our inquiry learning.

 They explained how to transfer our hydropower information from google docs to google slides. The session was awesome with these expert learners from Room 12 sharing their knowledge and teaching us new tips and tricks.

Mechanical Man-By Quros

I would like to learn how to be a mechanic.

I would like to be a mechanic when I’m a bit older so I can make new inventions. Being a mechanic will be very cool because if my car or motorbike breaks down I can get my own tools and fix it. There’re all kinds of mechanics.

But, I want to be an Auto-mechanic. I shall make family's lifestyle eco-friendly by inventing cars that run on water instead of petrol. I shall be the only one in the world that can fix these cars and I will be rich.
