It's a sign from God!

WALT understand how fire, water and wind are signs of the Holy Spirit.
I know I can do this when I retell the stories of fire, water and wind from the old Testament.

Let's be like the elements of the Holy Spirit!

WALT understand the symbols of the Holy Spirit.
I know I can do this when I explain the symbols fire, water and wind in my own words.

Making our Water Turbine

We are learning about hydro power.
Hydro power is the energy made by flowing water.

We made a water turbine,
First we got our materials, our materials were    
two small paper plates
empty egg carton
stapler
pencil
scissors.

Then we started making the turbine, We poked a hole in the middle of the two plates with the pencil. Next we cut some cups from the eggs cartons with the scissors and carefully stapled it between the two plates. Then we put the pencil in the hole we poked.

We asked the teacher if we could test it out and we did. We went to the sink and started the water.The turbine sped away. It looked like it was going as fast as light! It also made us wet.

I thought the water turbine was cool.I thought that everyone else was thinking the same.

Waikato River

I learnt that the river starts at Mount Ruapehu and empties at Tasman Sea.

The Water Treatment Process

The Water Treatment Process

The water from the Waikato River is not clean so it’s not safe to drink. It’s not clean yet and it’s full of rubbish that makes us sick.

First the water goes through a gigantic filter. A filter is something that has very tiny holes that the liquid and gas can go though but solid can’t go though.

Flocculation is when a chemical is added so all the dirt joins together. The Water is kept in a holding tank where the dirt get’s heavy and sinks to the bottom of the tank.

Filtration is when more chemicals are added to make the water clean. Air is use to get rid of all the small rubbish thats still in the water and it makes it smell good and taste good, this is called ozonation.

Chlorination is when a chemical called chlorine is added. It will destroy all of the bacteria thats still in the water.

Then the water goes to a water tower where all the clean water is kept. Next the clean water that was in the Waikato River goes through a pipe to your tap and is safe to drink.
