Welcome to Room 13's daily update

Today has been a difficult day in our town with the eyes of the world watching us. We are praying for the Men to come home safely and also for their families.

This morning Miss P showed us a new website to help us with our spelling. We found some of the games difficult because the instructions weren't there and some of the parts moved very fast... We will get better!!!

We had an audition to see who would be in the lead parts for our xmas concert. Lots of people wanted to audition but only some will get the parts. Fingers crossed for Room 13!!!

This afternoon we completed another science experiment with Room 14. It was called Lava Lamp. This is the experiment.

Method:
1. Half fill a jar with water and food colour mixture
2. Gently and slowly pour oil on top of the water. It should settle on top.
3. Gently drop the aspirin in the mixture.
4. After floating through the oil it should hit the water and begin to bubble.

The result was something that looked like a lava lamp. The oil mixture was moving like a wave.
We will try again tomorrow and see what happens if we puit a second aspirin in the jar.

Over and out Janelle

In ICT today we have been creating graphs from our homework. We printed them off and we are going to display them up on the wall.We had to do a graph on how many different colour/models of cars that went past in a hour but we were allowed to only do half an hour and we just had to double it.

In writing today we have been descriptive writing.We are writing a fantasy story were we write about a normal character who touches, falls, disappears etc into a fantasy world. Then we introduced the setting in the fantasy world and finally we write about the normal character meeting the fantasy character.

Come back for examples of our stories...
