Colorful Changes

We did an experiment this week.  We put one flower in red water, one flower in blue water and we cut one flower's stem in the middle and put it in both.  We did the same with celery. After 2 days the celery and flower in blue, changed to blue.  The half and half celery changed half reddy-brown and half blue, when we broke the celery in half it looked like there were veins or little wires going through it with the color.  We broke the half and half flower's stem but 3-4E's flower was half pink and half blue.  The red celery changed to pink and the flower was very

light pink.

PS.  We also went on a hike this week to look at plants and animals living in soil and we saw a beaver!!!!  Our teacher was afraid it would bite us!!

 (so was Cadance!!)

 

T.W.A.S. (this week at school)

This week at school we had an artist writing stories with us.  Her name is Margaret Shaw-McKinnon and she is an illustrator and writer.  The books she wrote were Pod the Wood Elf, the Beechnut and Tikalia.  The first day she told us about herself and read Pod The Wood Elf.  She was 18 when she wrote Pod the Wood Elf. The second day we practiced drawing 6 faces that showed emotions.  The emotions were happy, sad, mad, jealous, in love and laughing your head off.  Then we started to brainstorm for our story.  We decided to write an animal story with a horse, a dog and a villain pig.  Each day we wrote and illustrated 1-2 pages of our story.  Each page had a different emotion, for example page 1 was happy, page 2 was sad and so on.  We didn't do jealous.  The last day we made a title page.  Here is our story:

Seth drew a tiger but then he erased it. We had to write the author on our book reviews. The author of Seth’s favourite book was Robert Munch. Jordan’s favourite book was SpongeBob’s book of excuses. We drew the picture from our title page. Jordan had to color lots of yellow.

Compass

A compass is a magnet. Compass helps people find their way. On the compass it shows north south east west. The earth is a magnet. You can make a compass with a magnet, needle, straw, and 1/2 a cup of water. The iron core makes the earth magnetic. Some of the iron is liquid. A magnet is made lodestone.  By:  Zander and Ty
