Margaret Mahy Trip

On Thursday I went on a trip to Margaret Mahy. It was a great time. I went to lots of places like Victoria square.  We feed the eels, paddled in a Waka on Avon and it was so much fun. 

My favourite part of the trip was the waka ride down the Avon. I had a paddle to use. There were 10 people on my waka and 14 on the other waka. We raced boys v girls, the boys won the race, we were so happy.

Something I learnt was that female eels are bigger than the male eels. The Eels had sharp teeth. When I was feeding them they made a crunch on the spoon. They must have really sharp teeth. The eels don’t know what gender they are until they are 10 years old.

The thing I found the most interesting was Victoria square used to be a marketplace. 

This trip has helped me with my PBL because I can get some ideas for my PBL.

Hydro electricity is the application of hydro power to generate electricity. It is the primary use of hydro power today. Hydroelectric power plants can include a reservoir (generally created by a dam) to exploit the energy of falling water, or can use the kinetic energy of water as in run-of-the-river hydroelectricity Hydro power has the ability to generate electricity without emitting greenhouse gasses. However, it can also cause environmental and social threats, such as damaged wildlife habitat, harmed water quality, obstructed fish migration, and diminished recreational benefits of riversIt is flexible. Water flow can be adjusted and even conserved according to the need for power. It is safe! Compared with the use of fossil fuels and nuclear energy, hydro power is a much safer system.Hydro power is NOT Clean Energy: Dams and Reservoirs are Major Drivers of Climate Change. Reservoirs and hydro power are often thought of as “clean energy” because they don't burn fossil fuels to produce electricity

By looking up at the GIF the water is going throw the dam into the turbine well it is spinning then it goes up to the generator then the transformer then the power line then we have electricity
