Solar panels for Paroa School

 

Today Milla and I created a small map of Paroa school (Our school), then we added leaves which we used as solar panels. We added solar panels to most buildings in the school. We have been looking at energy for about 4 weeks now but we are doing energy for 10 weeks. For the past 1 week, we have been focusing on solar energy and we had to create what our school would look like with solar panels and why we need them. Milla and I learnt that solar panels are really expensive, they cost around 3,000 to 30,000 dollars. We enjoyed making the model, we started off by making it 3D  but then we realised we only had one day left so we made is 2D instead.

Energy.

 How do wind and the sun affect your daily life? The sun affects your daily life by giving you light and some people power. The wind affects your daily life by being able to fly a kite.

What activities do you do that engage the energy of the sun and wind?

I go outside and play with my dog by throwing a bone or a dog toy for her. I also go to the beach and feel the breeze when it is really hot so I don’t faint.

The ways Tawhirimatua influences us.

He influences me by making me want to try bodyboarding because the waves he makes look cool and fun to bodyboard on.

This week we have been researching more energy stuff. I liked that we had a book to read off of. I didn't like that it was hard to find the stuff I wanted to wright down.

Oil spills

 

  Hi how are you. today we did Oil spills, as year 6's we don't go to tech like the year 7 and 8's do so when there at tech we do oil spills. so we had to do a drawing on a piece of paper or on our Chromebook I think I was the only one that did it on my Chromebook but I'm not sure. fire extinguishers burn oil so that why I did a fire extinguisher. I had to use shapes to make the fire extinguisher (the bubbles took forever to do but I managed). thanks for reading. Milla

why we should have solar energy at our school

 

today we did T-shaped literacy and we had to make a model of the school and explain how and why we should have solar power at our school. We explain how much money and energy it would take and help us I hope you enjoy it.

Emily- Persuasive Writing

 

letter to the PTA

 kia ora PTA, I'm Emily today I'm writing to you because I think paora school should have a rock climbing wall. I think it will be a brilliant idea because it will improve your flexibility and your strength.

Why should we have a rock climbing wall at school??

having a rock climbing wall will bring people being more interested in rock climbing and you can practice your balance it will give heaps more people something fun to do. It's good for your fitness your mind, doing something new can take bad thoughts off your mind.

what uses is it to people?

There could be a person that comes in every day to do rock climbing lessons and having races to the top and back.

what will it help with?

having access to a climbing wall, and using it leads to a marked improvement of physical literacy in terms of balance, agility, and coordination. climbing is a great form of exercise with many health benefits

 In conclusion, I think paroa school should have a rock climbing wall. It will put more smiles on faces l, it will give the students some new to do. It will help everyone build confidence when there climbing. Rock climbing can teach you skills in how to properly rock climb.

kia ora today we had to finish doing our letters about whatever people picked. We had to research about it and put it in our books them write it up on our blogs. I learned to never give up and never stop trying and it work I learned that do rock climbing can clear your mind.
