Sumdog Competition


For the past few days our class has been going against other classes in a sumdog maths competition. The questions weren't that challenging yet they did allow me to think very hard. Our school had a class each holding there own place in the top 3. The class we're in came second and I'm so proud of everyone. From the competition, I learnt some things that I didn't know before, especially with things related to 90° angles

Pastel art 🖍🎨


Yesterday we started an artwork about the plant’s in our class. We used oil and chalk pastels. The reliever in our class taught us how to blend the pastel colours and how to do different effects or techniques with them. My favorite pastel was the chalk pastel since it was easier to blend and more controllable. I think I did pretty well with this art. I would definitely like to do this art again but on a different topic.

E-asttle reading


From my first e-asttle reading to now I have accelerated. In Term 1 I got 4A whereas in Term 4 I got 5B. I am proud of my results. I think I have accelerated because I have been more focused and I actually enjoy reading.

Elephant toothpaste 🐘

Today we were making elephant toothpaste. A book we read shared with us on how to make it. It was part of our inquiry as an experiment to see a chemical change which means it’s irreversible. The ingredients we used were:

  1. Hydrogen peroxide
  2. Food colouring
  3. Dishwashing liquid
  4. Warm water
  5. Yeast

The elephant toothpaste was a fun experiment so the whole group contributed in some ways. We didn’t put much of the yeast mixture in which is why it worked just how we wanted it to. I enjoyed doing this yet I would have liked it more if it went faster. Here is a link to the text I read.
