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 :)

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!

Instruction writing!


The boys' cake

Mixing!


Preparing to cook.


Oops - someone got caught licking their fingers :)



The girls' cake


We have been writing instructions. Yesterday we invented our own yummy chocolate cake! Today we looked at a recipe for Caramel cake and then we followed it and made it mmmmm.

After lunch we came back to class and we are writing instructions. Then we are going to check our instructions against the original recipe to see how well we did.

Can you guess what we are going to do next?












YES you guessed right! WE WILL EAT THEM!
