So on Monday a teacher from north west community campest and a other teacher from Lincludin came to our school. We did a science project called island survival we were trying to filter the water to make It clean. there was 4 materials sand, rocks, the ends of tights and cotton wool. we all had to partner up and build a filter. The things we started with was a beaker and a funnel and compacted water.

So what we have been up to is, we choose a country that has a different climate zone from ours. Say you have a very hot climate zone or country we had to pick a very cold country, so I picked Russia! so first I had to find out information like everyone else. and the class had to put the information on a sheet. We had to find information about Scotland as well so we could compare Scotland’s climate zone to the country we picked climate zone. And then we had to use the information that we had on the sheet, and make a diorama out of it. and that is how I got here! and I love it.

so in s.t.e.m what we have been doing is Mrs. Jardine has been showing us videos about earthquakes and flods. And then we have to build a house that will protect the people living in side. We only get to use the resources that she gives us. Hannah and my tower survived the earthquake and me and my other group still need to finish.

so we now went to new Lanark. it was very interesting very fun and it was a great trip. the stuff there they have put a lot of work into the building and the ride that was there. all the people that work there are really good at there job and I would definitely go again. I loved the look of it great place, great trip! !

Today we made juggling balls.It was a science workshop it was very fun though. We made it out of balloons and rice.It was kind of like a stress ball it was very fun to play with though. The colours I used to make my balls were blue, white and red. We made 2 balls each!

So on Monday we were doing bird watching. We chose groups of four the group I was in was Hannah, Molly and Alexa and me of course.The birds we saw were 1 magpie, 6 black birds, 2 blue tits, 9 crows, 2 pigeons, 5 jackdaws. We tried to be quiet but it was quite easy to catch the crows. So that was Monday!

2.after that pour one 1\4 of boiling water.

3.mix it around for a bit then add in bird seed to the boiling water and gelation.

4.and while it is still sticky put in a pencil then put it in the fridge.

5. then take it out then remove the pencil from the bird feeder.

6. then get the needle and string then put the string through the needle then put the needle through the hole.

7. then finally tie the string around the branch.

 

The experiments we have been doing the last copal of days are about THE BODY. they have been very fun lots of mess grossness and FOOD!

all of them are about you going to the toilet. a lot of my friends were saying they where sick. We were learning about the digestive system. and we are doing experiments as I was talking about.
