Sustainability - Energy

This term we are investigating sustainable energy practices in New Zealand.  We found a fun online game from Genesis Energy to learn about energy and how we make it and use it.

Electrocity is a fun game to play . It helps to know what you should do and it is a way to manage the electricity . Lucille Year 6

ElectroCity is a really good game to use. Definitely a game that I would use in any of my spare time. A cheat that Ryan found out was when if you  do a specific thing you can get unlimited money and you never get bankrupt and you get rid of those annoying

red signs that always pop up when you start running out of energy! Troy Year 6

Anzac Biscuits a Symbol to Commemorate ANZAC Day

I think Anzac biscuits are a nice way of remembering the soldiers who went to war because they are special  to the people who were part of their family. (By  Malia )

The soldiers were given Anzac biscuits to remind them of home and their families that were missing them a lot. ( By Lauren )

I think that they use the Anzac biscuits to be a symbol because, They took Anzac biscuits to the war  for the men to eat and they were so hard that some of the men had their teeth shattered so they had to dip their biscuits in hot water or sometimes cold.The biscuits would

remind them of home and their family. ( By Eva )   

I think Anzac biscuits represent joy and happiness, for the Anzac soldiers that were at WW1 and WW2. I also think these biscuits were to remind them of how much their family were praying and how much sadness they were suffering for them. The women made these biscuits because they cared about their husbands. ( By Anova )  

People at home raised funds for the war by selling rolled oats which were made into biscuits and known as ‘soldiers’ biscuits and eventually ANZAC biscuits.

They were not only nutritious biscuits but full of energy and long lasting. (By Recco)

Anzac biscuits reminds us off the soldiers who died in the war .

It gave them the energy to fight  against the enemies.(by Alwin)

I think ANZAC biscuits are important because they symbolize ANZAC Day and what the soldiers did for our country. (By Katie)
