Dry ice

We are doing our class science fair on dry ice. Our guestion is "What liquids give a reaction to dry ice?"
Some background info is this:
Dry ice is carbon dioxide in solid form. Its temperature is -78.5 degrees celcius.
It changes directly to gas at atmospheric temperature.

Movie Making

For the last couple of weeks room 2 and my class have been doing movie making. We are doing it for the studio 2 Meccano Mad Movie Challenge. My groups is called Robot Paparazzi. It's wicked fun.

Aberdeen Show

On Friday my band and the senior band did a performance at Aberdeen Primary school. As it was my primary school I had a lot more fun than the other members (except maybe Katie who also went there) and had to say something to them (which was really embarrassing because I had to it off the top of my head) about one of my favourite aspects about S.A.M.S. I did sport. Katie did as well and it was really funny because she kept saying um and she went on about I think 3 different aspects instead of one. It was really cool and next Friday we're going to Vardon Primary.

Science Fair Question

What liquid acid gives the biggest reaction with baking soda?

Camp Recount Self Evaluation

High Swing

Scared of heights? Well, if you are, I really suggest you don’t go to camp Adair. On the other hand if you do, it’s the place to go. There are A LOT of activities and if tried to do it all, you’d be there for about 2 or 3 weeks. My personal favourite is the HIGH SWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s about 10 meters high and is, well, a swing. You get into a harness, with a rope that goes up the pole you had to climb, and clipped on to a pole on the little platform up at the top, to catch you in case you fall. Scary!!! My turn. I started to climb. I was shaking really bad. I got to the top. The instructor started to fiddle around with the ropes, letting me stand there, felling like I’m about to walk the plank. 30 seconds later she says “ OK I’m about to let go of the rope in front of you and your going to feel a little pull. Then I’m going to count to 3 and you’re going to step off the platform to your right.” Deep breath I told my self. “1, 2, 3” I jump into space. The feeling of weightlessness took me over. True to its name I started to swing VERY high. It has GOT to be the best feeling ever! They let me swing until I was going low and slow enough, then an instructor grabbed my legs and pulled me to a stop. He then gets a ladder, un-clips you and you climb down.

There is absolutely NOTHING like the feeling of weightlessness so that’s why my favourite is the HIGH SWING!!!!!

By Hannah Frost

For my camp recount I think I did quite well. It has an intro that leads in to the rest of it well and is paragraphed. It’s in past tense, with all the correct grammar. I think it creates a good picture in people’s heads.

Reading - Felixs story

In reading we read a book called Then. It's by Morris Glitzmen. It's about a boy called Felix who's jewish amd it's in the time of the nazis. Basically, in a bit of the book he writes a story about what happened to him and about how the nazis were unfair. The book doesn't have it in it so Mis Hart wants us to write what we think he wrote.

Palindromic numbers

A palindromic number is a number that can be read the same forward and backward. For instance 121 or 484, numbers like that. We have bean doing them in class and they really are fun - even though it doesn't sound like it.

Quel temps fait-il?

In case you were wondering what Quel temps fait-il? means. It means whats the weather like? in french.
So as you may have picked up, in french we have bean doing stuff about the weather. Some of the words are more interesting than others. My personal favourite is definitely, Il y a du brouillard (roughly pronunced broya) Which means it's foggy.

Physed

In physed we have been doing trust activities. It involves - as you can sort of guess - alot of trust - like when your blindfolded and someone could run you into a wall - and communication. One of the activities is to all stand in a circle facing inwards and take random hands - not the person next to you - and then try to untangle everybody - HECKTIC!! -it's is a very interesting activitie!
