COOPERATIVE STRUCTURE 1-2-4

Working in groups cooperatively, we all have a role to play.

OXIDISATION EXPERIMENT

Question: which banana will oxidise least after 18 hours? One covered in lemon, in sugar, in cornflour, in salt or with nothing?
Hypothesis: we thought that the banana with sugar would oxidise least.
Experiment: each group cut up a banana and covered it with their chosen ingredient.
Analysis: the results were as follows:
Salt - some oxisadation
Sugar - a lot of oxidisation
Cornflour - very little oxidisation
Lemon -some oxidisation
Nothing - a lot of oxidisation and dried out.
Conclusion - our conclusion was incorrect. The cornflour stopped the oxygen from oxidising the banana.
Good experiment! 👍

TUTORED READING 6TH YEAR AND 3RD YEAR

The sixth year took their turn as teachers today reading with the boys and girls from the third year. Here are some photos.

WRITING LIMERICKS

In the 5th year we started looking at another type of poetry - Limericks.

A limerick takes the pattern A, A, B, B, A.  Lines A all rhyme with each other, and so do lines B.  We used an example by Heidi related to the Lovers of Teruel project...

There once was a boy from Teruel
Diego, who loved Isabel
But they sent him away
For six years and a day
Spending most of his time in a cell.

News travelled that Diego was dead
Isabel married Rodrigo instead
But Diego returned
She was wed, he soon learned
So he died, then she died, it is said.

WRITING BIOGRAPHIES - HALL OF FAME

We have been writing biographies about people who are important to us.  This is the 6th year Hall of Fame.
