What is your action this Advent?
Today I analysed a message from Pope Francis. And below this is my interpretation of this message
Experiment 1
Experiment 1:
Materials:
-saucer
- 50 ml of milk
- 2 drops of different colours of food colouring
- squirt of detergent
Hypothesis:
Our hypothesis is that the colours will break its separation between themselves and will mix together when
the detergent is added.
the detergent is added.
What had happened:
Our hypothesis was valid because as we applied the 3 unique colours into the milk, it had tension between
them. However, when detergent was added it started to break its tension allowing the colours to bleed and
\blend into each other.

Astria argument
A student in another school has recently blogged that:
“Students don’t learn much playing this game called Astria – Countdown to Impact: Their time could be better spent doing other things”.
Do you agree, disagree or partly agree/disagree?
____________________________________________________________________________
I partly agree/disagree with the students comment. Yes students don't learn from playing games but a game like Astria involves problem solving which links the thinking. Also for ages older that are playing the game has a lot of reading to do and for my age thirteen the student will always want to get into the game without reading.

Duffy assembly
On Tuesday the 11th of August the students of Saint Patrick's school gathered together inside
the Saint Patrick's hall for a duffy assembly with our guest. Henry was our duffy guest who volunteered
to come to Saint Patrick's school. We were lucky to have him. As he walked into the hall he seemed like
a normal person but as he began to tell us a story his personality was very outstanding and this kept
the audience interested.
to come to Saint Patrick's school. We were lucky to have him. As he walked into the hall he seemed like

the audience interested.
His story was spot on as he told us about his time when he was reading a book and a person from
a distance interrupted him with their loud talking, so he closed his book and stormed up to the the
person. It turned out, it was a girl who Henry described as having long brown hair, dark brown eyes
and big juju lips. All the students from year 1 through to year 8 laughed and laughed, you could tell
that the juniors and surprisingly the intermediates were all entertained with his acting skills.
