Hydro Dam Explanation
WALT write an explanation of how a Hydro-power station works
A hydro-dam is a 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.
It then goes through the intake and all the water rushes down the penstock. Then it goes to the turbine and the water goes around it and makes the turbine spin.
This makes electricity which is stored in the generator . It goes out to the power lines and it travels to peoples houses.
A dam is a very helpful thing that gives you lots of electricity and it is a very big structure.Hydropower is also renewable.

Solar 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: solar, wind, water, biomass,geothermal.
Non-renewable (will run out) energy source:coal,natural gas and oil.
This is how solar is used to generate (make) power:
Renewable (will not run out) energy source: solar, wind, water, biomass,geothermal.
Non-renewable (will run out) energy source:coal,natural gas and oil.
This is how solar is used to generate (make) power:

Maths blog
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
