How does electricity travel around the world.     

Have you ever wonder how electricity travels around the world?Well the reason why we need to use electricity is because it can help us survive and can help us live.If we don’t have any electricity we wouldn't be able to do all the fun things and do much for example you wouldn't be able to cook on the oven,play games on the internet,can’t watch t.v to see what is happening around the world and won't be able to microwave food to eat.

Did you know that electricity is a type of power that can make thing work and did you know that there are many types of energy.Electricity can help many people survive by keeping safe and can help them stay strong and healthy.Electricity is also a form of power that can make things turn on such as your television,heaters,ovens,phone  and so on.

As strange as it may seem how does electricity travel through plugs?

First the electricity starts to  travel to the power stations.Most of the electricity people mostly use comes from the power station.After the electricity travels to the power station it then travels to the generator.Inside the power station is a device called a generator.The generator is a energy source like wind,water and coal that turns blades of a turbine inside the generator,which spins a magnet.

Then it will travel through the power lines.The power lines are tall towers that can carry electricity and electricity comes from the power plant to the substation.Then it travels to the substation.The substation is where the transformers reduce voltage (strength).It will then carry it to the distribution lines.

The distribution lines carries the electricity to homes.
Finally it goes to the homes.The best for last is homes.The homes and buildings where we use it for lights appliances and equipment.

This is a explanation about how Electricity ravels around the world.

Manaiakalani Filim Festival 2012-School Is Cool.

In Term 2 we were learning a lot about movie magic, and how movies can influence our world. We created many movies. We started by brainstorming key messages we could include in our movies. 

We also made a movie that explains how to plant kumara. It was really fun to do. We created this movie to inspire people to learn how to grow their own kumara.


Our movie for The Manaiakalani Film Festival is called 'School Is Cool'. We made it to share all of the cool learning and fun that we have at school.

Our movie was also shown at the Tamaki Primary Academy Awards. We created a PMI about Movie Magic and shared what we liked, what was challenging and interesting.
