Make your own salt Crystals

Hi everyone,
This week we had a writing task to make some paragraphs into a set of intrusions. This activity was very challenging. I had to put it in details words, try and make one. I hope you like it.

Make your own Salt Crystals

Equipment needed:

• Cup
• Ribbon
• Teaspoon
• Stick/popsicle stick
• Tape
• Cool dark place

Ingredients:

• Salt
• Very hot water
• Food colouring (If you want any)

1. Grab a cup that you want to grow your Salt Crystal in.

2.  Pour very hot water in the cup.

3. Pour some salt into the hot water and dissolve with a teaspoon. (If you want you can add food colouring now) 

4.  Wrap the ribbon around the popsicle stick and secure it with tape. Place in your salty water. Make sure that the ribbon is not touching the bottom of the cup and the sides.

5. Place your crystal growing base in a warm place so the liquid can evaporate

6. Place your cup of liquid in a dark place. 

7. Stir the cup of liquid with a teaspoon every day and add a few drops of you mixture everyday.

1. Display your crystals when grown.

The hard thing was putting it in to my own words.

How do you think I did?

How could I improve?

About Skunks

Hi everyone,
This week my reading group read an information report about Skunks. We focused on unpacking sentences using "I think that means..."
Next we completed some follow up activities. There were MUST DO tasks and CAN DO tasks. Here is my slideshow with my activities. This was a shared slideshow with Angel and Ari. They are still working on their activities. I hope you like it.




I think this was cool because I was learning about a new animal. What I found interesting was Skunks can spray the terrible sent up to 3 metres. Wow!


What should I work on?
What did you find interesting?

Funky Self Portrait

Hi everyone,
For Cybersmart this week I have been learning how to carton myself. This is a very fun and cool way to draw you. I learnt how to use the tools and shading from this video (Click Here). We had to use the curve tool to trace around our face and then connect it back up. Next you had to go to the colour icon and click transparent. Also use the curving tool to trace  round the light and dark places on your face. When you have done that use this tool called colour picker you click it and hover over were you want to colur and click. Go back up to that tool and you control v the first few numbers and letters, you keep doing that until you are done. My sores I used was, A google drawing, colour picker, the curve tool.

Binturongs

Hi everyone,
For writing we  have been creating information reports. Our main focus was to paraphase the info . This means to write in our own words. Here is my report about Binturongs.


Where I found my info is (Australia Zoo)

I found it interesting because before I didn't know about Binturongs. I found it hard because I couldn't find other words when I was paraphrasing but I used this site called (Thesaurus) it helped me find other words.

What did I do well and what could I improve on?

T2 Geometry
