Science fun!
Today we were discussing scientific method. The question was raised again - was Oobleck a solid or a liquid? It can't be classified as either as it is a strange and special substance called a Non-Newtonian fluid. We also looked at a fun website called Brainpop and we have a free 5 day trial to look around - username and password both room13uhps. Have fun!
Back to the Scientific method. When we do an experiment we will always follow this way:
Ask a question - what do I want to discover?
Make a hypothesis - I think... use information/research to help you.
Method - what steps will I take?
Results - what happened?
Conclusion - What do the results mean?
Draw a picture.
Welcome to the world of wonderings and discoveries.

Gala news!
On Monday August the 2nd, the Tipa team is having a cake competition. We need to make (or buy) a cake and decorate it. Previous winners have always had lots of lollies on their cakes! YUM! Madison says when you make your cake make sure you have enough lollies for UHPS to vote for! Zion says have lots of colours, Ben G agrees! Logan says make it a pop up one. Miss Rae says make it CHOCOLATE!
We found lots of cool ideas here!
We also have to collect items for a basket to be raffled. Room 13 are collecting for a basket called Baby Bliss. You can bring anything new related to babies. Some ideas we came up with are:
A doll, a dummy, a nappy or a packet of nappies, a bottle, baby wipes, baby clothes, baby bowls, rattle, baby songs cd or dvd, a baby blanket, baby slippers, baby toys, baby shoes and socks, baby PJs, bibs, or even baby food.
At the moment UHPS are collecting toys and puzzles, we are coming first equal with Room 14, so if we want to win we need to have a big clear out at home and bring our unwanted stuff to school!
If we get some nappies would any creative parents make us a diaper cake?

Healthy Eating!
Today we went to assembly. We heard a new idea about eating healthy food for lunches. We decided we needed to eat your sandwiches, and fruit and vegetables first before eating TREATS! Chocolate and lollies are not recommended for school! SO when we got back to class we went looking for healthy food ideas! This one is cool for us kids to help us know what to eat! We found this information from an old "Mission on" publication. Happy reading!

Day and Night
Room 13 were looking at a news article on tennis. We read about the Wimbledon tennis match that went on for 10 hours. It had just stopped because it's night time in England but we have only just started school. Then we wanted to know how the other side of the world had day and night different to us. We looked at a website.
Then Logan asked "if a house lived in the day, and there was a house in the night, could you live in the middle of day and night? It was a little bit confusing so Miss Rae asked Georgia to get a ball, and Kieran and Logan went to find Mr Benbow to get a torch so we could see how it works. We are typing our new blog post while we wait for a torch. The Sun will be the torch and Earth will be the ball. It was fun to think that when our Mum's and Dad's tell us to get out of our PJ's and get ready for school, that in England parents will be telling their kids take off your school uniform and get in your PJ's and get ready for bed!
