FingerPrints & experiments

I was learning how to make connections between what we are reading and what activities we are doing. 

This week we were reading about fingerprints and what shape they have, you can have an Arch, Simple Loop, Double Loop, Right Loop and Whorl.

 We were stamping our fingerprints in ink  into our books to see what type of fingerprints we have. I noticed everyone has a different print, if you pressed to hard on the ink pad, you wouldn't be able to see your finger print properly, you had to print it a few times to see the shapes in your fingerprint.

We also did experiments, these were to test the different  reactions of water and types of white powder, we tested baking soda, washing powder, salt and citric acid. Once we mixed these together we put the little yellow paper in to see what colour it would turn. these are our results.

I enjoyed putting in the yellow paper into the water mixture to see what color it changed! It turned from yellow to black (use Citric acid)
I found it tricky to write down the mixtures of water onto my book and the color of the paper was.
Here is what I have now!

My Lenten Promise

For lent we did a lenten promise which is when everyone gives up something and has to wait till Easter. That is when Lent is over and everyone can eat their thing they gave up they can use ait gain and for my lenten promise I am giving up KFC for lent.

I was learning about waiting for easter and giving up something I like.
I found it hard to know what to give up on.
I found it easy to add the color and the glue into my book.
Here is what it looks like now!

Kawa of care

 This week I've been working on  a task which is Kawa of care for our chromebooks. We made this so we can keep our chromebooks safe from breaking.

I found it easy to find out what to write down from last year.

I found it hard to find an image of an chromebook because most of them weren't png's.

Next time I will add more writing ideas of keeping the chromebooks safe.
