Why do we blog

Blogging is a great tool to use because we can learn how to share our work with the world! If you have just written it in a book then who would read it apart from you and the teacher and maybe our parent if we ever take our book home?
Also if you have your own blog you can learn how to use the computer in a different way, like instead of just searching for things we can learn how to make links like this: www.teamroom8.blogspot.com
we love managing our own blogs because they don't only have to be boring and all just words they can be fun and we can learn how to add lots of little gadgets like fish and a shark and lots and lots more!

What's happening

This week we are working on our science experiment,
I think it is going well.  We have made salt and it feels and looks very different to the normal Table Salt.  Cameron and Zach wanted to taste it and feel it and use their 5 senses with it.  They thought that our salt was much nicer than normal salt.  We are working towards getting this finished and looking AMAZING for our WOW night that is like our production but we are showing our videos at it and all the year 6's are hosting it. I think it will be great!

Water explaination

Water is an everyday thing, there are three different forms of water, they are solid liquid and gas.

Water (just the normal stuff that usually falls from the sky.) Is a liquid form of matter where the atoms move not that fast or not that slow.

If you want to turn water into ice then you need to have a temperature about 0 degrees c.

The atoms inside the water slow down and get closer when they get colder, and they speed up and go further apart when they get hotter.

Here are a few examples of frozen atoms:
Hail, ice blocks, snow, and dry ice.

So there you have it, water can be turned in to ice. Just remember that the atoms slow down when clod and speed up when hot.

Science reflection

We are doing science experiments in class, and I am finding out about how we make salt.
They will be going to be shown in the production.
The winning video will be entered into the made awards.
We are next going to be working on getting us all in the shot for the video.
Next we have to dehydrate the water from the salt water

My Short Story

Kidnapped!

Bang! Bang! I could hear a loud thumping noise. I crept slowly towards the door the thumping got louder BANG! BANG! I got closer and closer, the door rushed open all my vision left me and I fainted. I slowly woke up feeling faint, I tried to scream but I couldn't say a word. My legs and arms couldn't move it was like they were glued together. I could hear footsteps, loud heavy footsteps. A few moments later I fell to the ground with a big BANG! I could see! But all I saw were two creepy guys smiling at me, one of them was wearing an eye patch with cross bones and skull on it. They leave me sitting in an old dusty attic. I could hear teeth nibbling. They didn't realize that when they went out the door they left the door open. I peeked out the window and could see them walk off down the street, so I made a dash for it I ran out the attic door and down the stairs until I found Bang! Bang! I could hear a loud thumping noise. I crept slowly towards the door the thumping got louder BANG! BANG! I got closer and closer, the door rushed open all my vision left me and I fainted. I slowly woke up feeling faint, I tried to scream but I couldn’t say a word. My legs and arms couldn’t move it was like they were glued together. I could hear footsteps, loud heavy footsteps. A few moments later I fell to the ground with a big BANG! I could see! But all I saw were two creepy guys smiling at me, one of them was wearing an eye patch with cross bones and skull on it.

I peeked out the window and could see them walk off down the street, so I made a dash for it I ran out the attic door and down the stairs until I found a door that lead outside I ran out onto the street and I could see something in the distance and I couldn’t quite see what it was but I ran up to it and found out that it was a map stand. So I found my place 198 fair weather road and I followed the map so I could get home. I ran around all the bends and up the street until I could see my road so I ran down it and I could see my house so I ran down the drive-way and ran around to the front door but it was locked I looked at my watch “WOW” I said silently to myself, it is 11:00pm. I ran around the back of my house and found the spare key and I unlocked the door and ran inside, to find my mum smiling from the moment she saw me.
