Mesurement and Millameters

On Monday we had to mesure water to make our jelley.We had to put it where the margin was because we had to do it all during the last block so we dont have to do it evey day.We had to work in groups of 3, in our group we had Emily R,me and kim.We had to figure out how much was in the cup.We had to use differnt cups because some was fat and some was skinny.We had to work it out in a group so we can help each other out if someone is stuck in our group.

Next Mrs Dunkley told us how to do milla meters.It looked very hard but when you get use to it,it gets very easy for you.But when we worked it out it acally was very hard.It was hard to do it because  people were getting the hang of it but some people didnt.

Colour Science

Today we are exploring how color can influence our thoughts.The use of coloring to make us want to try things.

Bottle number	Colour	What flavor i think it is	What flavour it really is
1	Red	strawberry	Cherry
2	Blue	Blue raspberry	Blue rasberry
3	Yellow	Pineapple	Mint
4	Green	Apple	Apple

What other things do we buy because of colour lollies, meat.

This week we have been doing minecraft.We could work in a group or we could work by our selves we had to work on mac books and it was really fun.We had to take turns all week and only 10 of us could go on minecraft in the after noon and in th middle block.I worked with Emily R,Samantha,Caitlyn,Caoimhe and kim.We made the SKY Twer because we had to make something back from camp.Inside we had a restraunt,cafe,bar and a 2 secert hideouts.And it took all week to finish ours because we had to make it taller and we had to make the restraunt,bar and a cafe.Also we made a sky jump there's two ways to jump of to the sky jump theres are plank if you dont want to jump off the high won.The high won is really scary but when you jump from the plank to the sky jump it's not that scary.😀

Today we made Jesus tomb.We had to bring in all of the things what we had to make.Things like sticks.raber bands to hold up the cross,big rocks and small rocks,dirt,grass,small cup or yoguart tub,leaves,plastic plate and rest of other things.I worked with Emily R to make the Jesus tomb it was fun making it with her because we worked as a group and we were comunacating with each other.The resurrection is about when Jesus rose from the dead.And he was the only wone who rose from the dead so that means he bwas the only wone in the world who rose again.

Next i got out and i wiped my legs and then i put a jersey over me because it was really cold there.But then we had to do frestyle it was cool it is my favorite stroke and we had to do the same thing like the other things what i said first.So we done 50 meters of free style and i came 2nd.The last thing what we done was bresstroke we had to do the same thing again 50 meters of bresstroke.Then it comes the fun part we played games what we played was rowing with a friend in a tube and then the next thing what we done was we had to have 20 year 3's to go on each sidethen 10 year 6's and 5's had to pull the year 3's.So they took turns then then 3 adults throud in all of the noodels and we had to go by house group to house group and they timed us and mill hill won.
