Who are some people that influences you in your life?

The Rainbow Fish, a very generous fish!

After we read the story about the Rainbow Fish we looked about the virtues the character shown and connected to it a person's faith.

Virtues the Rainbow Fish showed in the story:

• Generosity
• Courageous
• Brave
• Confident
• Egocentric
• Humble

The changes of the Rainbow fish and people are both the same because we are all growing closer to God through the virtues we do.

Growing in virtue means growing closer to God through our good actions.

Growth in virtue is evident throughout our many actions in life.

Values are important because it makes our relationship closer to God.

The connection of the growth in virtue relates to a person's faith because they are both ways of strengthening our relationship with God.

WALHT: Identify the connection between a person's faith and the growth in virtue.

Explanation about the Solar System!

Explanation about the Solar System

What is the Solar System?

The solar system is the universe which contains all the planets including the one we live in, Earth. It was founded by astronauts a long time ago.

The solar system has no oxygen for humans so astronauts have space helmets and tanks to give them oxygen. The solar system's length is almost infinite and no one has been able to go past the planet, Neptune since it is very cold and far from the sun.

Our solar system contains many things like the planets, moons and the stars. There are 8 main planets that orbit around the sun. The planet's names are Mercury, Venus, our planet Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The solar system also have dwarf planets like Pluto because of its size.

The solar system also has different things besides the planets and the moons, they have comets and meteorites which could strike at the planets at any time. A lot of debris caused by comets can also be seen in the solar system through different ways. People who learn our solar system are called astronomers.

The solar system has been found billions of years ago. In the future, astronomers might find something interesting and share it to the world for everyone to know.

What is School?

What is School?

A school is a place where children usually learn more about the different things in life. Every child must go to school to develop their understanding when they grow up.

A school has teachers to teach the children. The children are usually kept in classes depending on their age and their grade/year. Schools also have principals who make the school rules to make it fair for everyone. The rules in schools are always there to be followed and if a child doesn't he is given consequences.

Some schools have a uniform for the teacher to wear and usually the children. Their uniform represents equality to everyone and how much pride they have in their school. There is sometimes a symbol that represents their saint and the children show their pride in that saint by wearing a uniform. A person also doesn't get bullied due to the fact that he is wearing something worse than the others. Therefore, school uniforms should always be worn.

In schools, there are different subjects to teach the children. Some common subjects are Mathematics, Spelling, Writing, Physical education and Science. Some schools have their children ride in public transport to get to a new location however, only the school (teachers and students) is allowed to be in the public transport and not with other strangers. In that new location, students also learn different subjects.

A school is a lot of fun for children because they learn so much from there and make new friends to play with. When children grow up they become more intelligent because they have been to school.

Mt. Darius, erupting for vengeance!

WALHT: Create a review of the novel we've read.

Katie Glynn is a very determined person!

WALHT: Write a report for a target audience.

Katie Glynn, a very famous hockey player who is known for her determination. Overall, she has scored 77 goals and has played 134 matches in her international career.

She played for a special team called, 'Black Sticks'. She has made numerous friends throughout her hockey career. She started playing when she was five years old which amazes many people. Katie was inspired by her big brother who would always compete with her when they were young.

Her hockey experience has led her to many injuries throughout her career which lead her to resign from her favourite sport in 2016 due to her injured back that still has not healed. As a result, this made many people surprisingly shocked.

As time passed, it was time for Katie Glynn to watch the Rio Olympics 2016. She felt sad she couldn't participate but she pursued to cheer and support her team. Katie Glynn has a very important message to everyone and it is about enjoying what you would like to do and not all about fame.

A liquid source is always needed for experiments!

At Science on Thursday, we mixed a variety of powders and used our senses to find their different features. We started off by investigating icing sugar and listed the features on a piece of sheet so we can see the differences of each ingredient.

After the icing sugar, we went followed down the list which was sodium bicarbonate (baking powder). The icing sugar was different from the NaHCO₃ (sodium bicarbonate) because it tasted different but everything else was the same.

When we were done investigating both ingredients, we mixed both components and investigated on it. The next items on the list were vitafresh powder, C₆H₈O₇ (citric acid) and C₄H₆O₆ (tartaric acid). The vitafresh powder was extremely sweet, the citric acid which comes from the juices of orange skin and lime skin was extremely sour and the tartaric acid which comes from the skin of grapes, was also sour but not as sour as the citric acid.

When we were finished investigating all the ingredients, we all mixed them up in an enormous beaker. We didn't get a chemical reaction when we mixed them because they were all powder and some type of liquid is always needed to activate a chemical reaction. However, when we placed the mixture into our mouth, the chemical reaction activated because of the saliva that we produce. We could hear continuous bubbles dehydrating, making gas bubbles which is CO² (carbon dioxide). We were able to hear, taste, feel and smell the chemical reaction in our mouth.

Overall, this week of Science was a very interesting and fascinating day. I hope we could investigate on more types of powders for our last day of Science.
