This week we learned how to set up a fish tank.\u00a0 We had to research to find out what equipment we needed and what steps we had to take to set it up successfully.\u00a0 After that we wrote instructions for how to set up the tank.\u00a0 In the afternoon we followed these instructions.<\/p>\n

“We washed out the gravel and put it in the tank carefully.” – Leon<\/p>\n

“I really enjoyed washing the gravel and liked learning about all the different types of goldfish.” – Rowan<\/p>\n

“Then we added tap water and dechlorinator. ” – Cameron<\/p>\n

“We had to measure the length, width and height of the tank.\u00a0 Then we multiplied them.\u00a0 We used 5 whiteboards to work out the answer.\u00a0 This was to calculate the volume of the tank.\u00a0 We then knew we had to put in 3 capfuls of dechlorinator.” – Cameron & Leon<\/p>\n

“I actually really enjoyed the maths!” – Leon<\/p>\n

“It was hard but we both did it together and that made it better.” – Cameron<\/p>\n

“Next we attached the filter.” – Logan F<\/p>\n

“I had to attach the flow director and then stick the filter to the side of the tank.” – Logan Y & Callum<\/p>\n

“The filter cleans the tank.\u00a0 It takes in the dirty water and puts out clean water.” – Charlie<\/p>\n

“I attached the tubing to the air pump and Cade and Silvester helped to put it in the tank.” – Kyle<\/p>\n

“The air pump puts little bubbles into the tank to put oxygen into the water which the fish need to breathe.” – Murray<\/p>\n

“The fish have gills to breathe.” – Zoe<\/p>\n

Our tank is now ready to be decorated.<\/p>\n

“You can’t just dump fish in the tank though.\u00a0 You have to float the bag on the top of the water so that it gets up the right temperature.” – Charlie<\/p>\n

We’ll be visiting a pet shop soon after the holidays and we can’t wait!<\/p>\n

Our penpal letters finally arrived from Raleigh, North Carolina!\u00a0 We have started our first draft of replies and will finish them after the holiday.<\/p>\n

“I enjoyed writing back to my penpal, Samiyah.\u00a0 I really like her personality!” – Katy<\/p>\n

“My penpal moved school after the teacher posted our letters.\u00a0 But a new pupil has joined the class so I will be writing to her.” – Zoe<\/p>\n

“My penpal’s birthday is on New Year’s Day!” – Murray<\/p>\n

“I enjoyed writing to my penpal, Damico, because he’s into tech like me!” – Calum<\/p>\n

“I really liked writing to my penpal because it means we’ll get to know someone else!” – Hayley B<\/p>\n

“My penpal asked if I liked biscuits.\u00a0 We thought it was a weird question but then we realised that they have been learning English words!” – Logan Y<\/p>\n

“My penpal says he likes to play softball and he likes fizzy drinks!” – Eesa<\/p>\n

“I really liked writing back to my penpal, Giovanna, because I had to answer lots of questions that she’d asked me.\u00a0 I also had to ask her lots of questions because she didn’t tell me much about herself!” – Natalie<\/p>\n

“I enjoyed writing back to my penpal.\u00a0 She asked me if we have a restaurant called Chick-Fil-A.” – Sri<\/p>\n

“I can’t wait to write to my penpal!” – Lewis<\/p>\n

“I enjoyed writing to my penpal.\u00a0 She asked why we had to recesses because they only get one.\u00a0 She also used the word ‘biscuits’ instead of ‘cookies’.” – Ainslie<\/p>\n

“I can’t wait to write to my penpal.\u00a0 I’m going to tell them more about me and Scotland.” – Luke<\/p>\n
