Dissolving Science

On Monday, Mr. Macintyre came over and taught us about dissolving. Every table go 4 test tubes, a beaker, a test tube rack, 2 paintbrushes, a spoon and a substance (gravy, flour, washing powder, quinoa, yeast or raw sugar). We then got a recording sheet:

On the sheet we wrote things knew noticed, how long the substance took to dissolve, and other things we saw. The test tubes were one of each:

- Cold, no stirring

- Cold, with stirring

- Hot, no stirring

- Hot, with stirring

We used the paintbrush to stir the test tubes that needed to be stirred. We also had an iPad to time how long it took.

Persuasive Writing

In Room 9 we have been working on persuasive writing. To persuade our readers we had to plan it out on a visual scaffold. We had to put it into a main idea, reasons and details to support our reasons. Then we did a second draft in our writing books with paragraphs and a conclusion. Some of us used imperatives and we are learning to state our ideas clearly. Here is some of our work:

Kids for Kids

The Kids For Kids concert is on the 6th of August. All performing children need to be in the upstairs foyer by 6:45pm. No jackets are allowed, as the lighting is very hot. At the end of the concert, schools will go to an allocated area to be picked up. St John Bosco kids will be in the upstairs foyer, where their parents can collect them.

On the 6th August, we had a rehearsal. Isabella got a part as a soloist in Language, and Imogen got a part in Love In A Fowl House: 

and Taane got in as a ukulele player in the Ukelele Medley:
