Week 4

Today I did a maths test, which five others in the class did also. It was really hard, and I took all of the given time, (which was an hour and a half) to do six questions. I got really frustrated them, because they were really hard!!! We have started doing soccer practices on Friday afternoons and Wednesday lunchtimes. We are also going to do soccer on Monday as well.
We made soap for mothers day on Monday, but some egghead spilled water on everyone's, so we had to redo them on Friday. It worked out better though, because Mrs Tyson cut out love hearts to put on top, they were a better colour, and they smelled REALLY good. Amelia (my best friend), Rain and I also did an experiment with blue salt water, a hot plate, two beakers and a tube. The experiment was too change the salt water into drinkable fresh water. To do that we put the salt water in the beaker, which we put on the hot-plate. We then attached the tube to the other beaker on the bench and turned the hot-plate on. How it worked was that the steam that rose went into the tube and condensated into fresh water. One of the things I really liked about it was that the fresh water wasn't blue like the salty water. On Monday we learnt about acids, bases, and neutrals. We did taste taste and smell tests on 6 different beakers filled with an unknown liquid. We had to guess what group it belonged to based on our senses.  We then confirmed our answers by getting some red and blue paper. You dip it into the liquid and it either stays the same or changes colour, which tells you what the liquid is, (acid, neutral or base). After that we got a yellow piece of paper, which, when dipped into he water changes colour to tell you what the pH level was.
 In the weekend we had a production overnight stay, which was really good. I'm still tiered four days later though!!! I spent most of my time with the band, practicing my pieces. Were actually starting to sound alright, even though all our music is REALLY hard!!! The food was nice too, and the sausages were too die for!!! The breakfast was the best I thought. We had spaghetti, toast, scrambled eggs, tinned fruit, cereal, and Milo. Everyone slept in the ALC, and the earliest anyone got to sleep was 10:30. I went to bed around midnight!! There was a movie option, big hero 6, but me and Amelia had both already watched it, so we stayed in the ALC and talked... most of the time. Ayway we are doing jump jam today, yay, and passion hour, double yay!!! So bye!!!
