As you are all working on your projects, I just wanted to share a website created by a few 5A students from last year. It was created as a way to show their work using technology and their creativity.

Make a video of your own at Animoto. Refer to the different resources you have to complete your spelling homework. Thing about the lessons in class to help you understand the vocabulary.

Mr. Haigh has some awesome and useful websites for your research. These are excellent to use. Don't miss out. Click here to find them Car use gasoline as their source of energy. This fossil fuel produces pollutants which are bad for the environment and we know that. An alternative to gas powered powers include the electric car and ones which use biofuels. These types have not been very popular but is an alternative. As the bus drove towards the Castle Peak Power Plant, I could see up ahead the smoke bellowing out of the smoke stacks. The stacks were quite tall in the distance and I later found out they were over 200m tall. I've been on this trip before but this time was more enjoyable and informative. The tour and talk about the reactor was similar to previous years yet it was somewhat different. Students this year were very curious and prepared some really good questions for our tour guide and energy expert, Uncle Chek (I hope that's how you spell his name). Students bombarded him with questions about energy, Hong Kong's plans for green energy along with ones about global warming. Well done students! Although it was rainy outside, my favorite part of the trip was seeing the whole power plant on the bus tour. We were able to see the new installations built to reduce the carbon and sulphur emissions, hills of coal storage, gigantic oil and water tanks (for emergencies) and even a ship docked for coal delivery. We ended off our tour by visiting the informative, interactive and inviting Energy Museum. Many of the students enjoyed testing and experimenting with things that create electric currents, better understanding how electricity is made. There were many information boards about how renewable and non-renewable energy is used to make electricity with models and diagrams to support student learning. In addition, many tips were given on how to conserve energy at home and to save money and the environment. Overall, I think many students enjoyed the trip, being able to see how electricity is made and grateful to be able to speak to an expert in energy in HK. A big thank you to all parent volunteers who accompanied 5L, 5R and 5A on a fun and educational trip to CLP. As you are watching the videos, think about the features that make them energy efficient. How does the design help conserve energy? Some of the design features are quite simple and can be applied in many homes. Others, are complicated and can be very expensive. Does your home have any of the "green" features? Leave a comment. We all use energy at home, school or in the office. But how much do we actually use? To find out how much energy you or your parents consume, explore the website created by CLP. If we know how much energy is used, maybe we can change our habits to conserve energy to save money, resources and the environment.
