Siobhan comes to visit!

Jessica's cousin came to visit just like she promised. Siobhan brought all her stuff to show us from her job as a medic in the army. Her pack was so heavy - it weighed 25 kilos! Miss Rae and Miss Bullen did not think the bed and tent looked very comfortable. Miss Rae said that when she goes camping it was a bit different! We all tested the bed and the tent. The funniest thing she showed us was her collapsible spade, it is used to dig a hole for a toilet in the bush YUK. We found it very exciting and funny too! Thanks for coming Siobhan (and to Jess for bringing her).

Merry Christmas!

Just for Liri :)

Liri wants a Panda on her blog and we have been so busy in class I keep running out of time. So Liri you need to click here. Then choose the pet you want and click on it. Type a name and choose a colour then click finish. Then click on "other sites" on the left. Then you can enter the Blog details and and click post OR cut and past the "embed" code as an html code on your design page.

Does it work? Fingers crossed. Let me know :)

Dictionaries!

We have two questions!

1) Where did dictionaries come from?

2) What does the word dictionary actually mean?

Can you help? Leave a comment! Thanks :)

Proud teacher!

Scientists get creating!

Today the mad scientists of Room 13 conducted an experiment. They were making mucus slime! They needed to get hot water, a mixing bowl, 2 teaspoons of lux flakes, a few drops of food colouring, a mixing spoon, measuring cup and spoons. First they put the lux flakes in the bowl and the teacher added food colouring. Then they added hot water. But something went wrong... the water wasn't hot enough to dissolve the flakes. SO they got HOT water and stirred it in. Yay slime - HANG ON! It didn't feel or look like slime! What to do next? 2 groups decided to add citric acid, another group added icing sugar and the last group added baking soda. Room 13 went around and felt every slime, they sat next to the one that felt most like slime. The winner was baking soda and then the citric acid slimes.

Overall Room 13 felt the slime didn't really work. They wanted to add cornflour because that is what was added to the oobleck but we didn't have any. Now Room 13 are going to write it up!
