Clip 'n Climb and Science Alive!!!

Clip 'n Climb in the morning and Science Alive in the afternoon! How is that?! Pretty cool if you ask me! It took us a long time to get in Clip 'n Climb to start with but it was worthwhile...., because the climbing walls were more improved, so that helped and I had been there two days before that too! So I was going straight to the zig-zag. I went up and down it. I was already tired after that. Karl was having a lot of luck. I could see that he was trying level two of them. (He was definitely improving, he was boiling.) I did the zig-zag. I was proud of myself when I had just about done all of the climbing walls. Then we went to Science Alive it wasn't better but at least we got to do something . We mixed iodine with powders/flours and acid. We were told a story and we recorded what happened when we start mixing the powder and acid. Then powder with iodine. And last of all the powder with the water! After we had done that we had some suspects of the story there were...., four suspects! That kind of made it harder because there was only one person from the story that wasn't a suspect! So in the story there was a powder on the door handle and a powder on the floor. We had to figure out if it was flour, baking soda, milk powder r plaster. And by using iodine, acid and water we could figure out what the powder on the door handle was and what the powder on the floor was. And with the recorded data we had with the other named powders the same effect would happen to be the same as one of the secret powders that were on the floor and on the door handle that would solve the mystery and that would solve the problem! After that we went back to school. After our adventurous day climbing, really high climbing walls at Clip 'n Climb and figuring mysteries with chemistry at Science Alive. Best day don't you think?

Clip n Climb and Science Alive

A couple of weeks ago we went to Clip and Climb and Science Alive. First of all, we went to Clip and Climb. We spent the whole morning there, it was really fun. Only a few got to the tops of all of the climbing walls, and one of those people were me, MandM. Miss Caygill got to the top of the skyscraper. Well done Miss Caygill! Then we went to a skate park to eat lunch. After lunch we all went to Science Alive. When we got there we went into a little class room and did some chemistry. We had to use lots of different things. Then at 2.30 we all left to go home and got there at 3.15.

The trip in Term 3

On Tuesday Miss Caygill told us there was a trip in Term 3. She said we are going to Clip and Climb in the morning and Science Alive in the afternoon. Everybody was so excited that they were bringing their permission slips in the day after the day they got it.
