Baking Soda and Vinegar Experiment

Today, these guys showed us an experiment with baking soda and vinegar. Before we did the experiment we made predictions about what might happen. We said that it might:

• rise up 
• cause a reaction 
• explode 
• poof like a cloud of smoke 
• get fizzy 
• froth up 
• create create carbon dioxide 
• bubble

We are very excited to be involved in a project called "Quadblogging". We have connected with schools in Luxembourg, England and Canada and will be commenting on each other's blog posts and working on different projects together.

Week 1: 

We will be focusing on Holly Blog from St. Augustines School in Nottingham, UK: http://holly2016-17.sasblogs.net

"Hello to all our quadblogging friends. We hope that you enjoy looking at everything we have been up to over the past week and what we get up to this week.

Eggtastic experiment

We are exploring kitchen science...here is an experiment we did using eggs and a time. We predicted what the boiled egg would look like after 2,4,6,8 and 10mins then we cracked them open to see if we were right and made our observations. Take a look at the photos below and our seesaw to see our predictions and observations.

If Poems

Art by Yoshi

We read a poem called "IF" and as a reading response we wrote our own poems:

If the sea was purple and the clouds were pink and yummy,
if the sun was green would everything be green too?
If trees were chocolate would it taste like chocolate too?
What if the birds were rainbow and cats were Orange?
By Violeta and Georgina


If skies were Black
How wood we see?
What if the grass was pink?
It would change the world.
If the trees were gold?
By Greta

If cheetahs chirped

It would be berserk

If blue were red

Then bookbags would be dead

Choclate gold

Hairy bold

By Jupiter


If sun sets were white
And skies were green,
What colour would trees seem?

If dolphins were orange
And sea turtles were red
Would they have to change their name?
To red turtles?

What about watermelons?
If they were purple?
What would happen?

If coconuts were pink
And bananas were grey,
Would everything be the same?

I’ve known orangy pinky sunsets,
Grey dolphins and more
So if the colours were bored and switched around,

I wonder what the world would be?
By Charlotte and Leola

If clouds were blue
And crabs were yellow
Turtles were purple
The trees were plastic
that will not be fantastic
Caves were orange
Floors were caravans
And pigs called inky
We call them stinky.
Maybe ghosts were not invisible.
Flies were gold.
Paper was a cape-flying paper.
