Winter
In Room 1 we have been doing descriptive writing. I chose to write about Winter. I enjoyed describing the mountains. I found it hard to find the right words to use.
Outside, frosty frozen branches waved around in the air. Clouds covered the tip of the mountains that were snowy cold and numbing my feet. The silent sky was still and calm. As I ran inside I could still see the frosty frozen branches blowing in the air.

Science Fair
In Room 1 we are learning about science
I enjoyed doing the slide show about our Science fair project we have chosen.
I found it challenging to find out if the metals had copper or rust.

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton
In Room 1 we are learning about saints, the saint I have chose is saint Elizabeth Ann Seton I enjoyed learning all types of things about her. I found finding things about her challenging. Here are the things I found out about her...
Elizabeth Ann Bayley was born in New York City just before the American Revolution began. She was just two years old when her mother died. 2 years later, her sister Catherine died.
When she was 19 years old, Elizabeth met and married William Seton a businessman. Soon they had two lovely children and another one on the way. Then suddenly William’s father died, and many ships belonging to the family business got attacked by pirates. And not long later William got bankrupt. And not long later Elizabeth’s Father died.Soon after William developed a disease called tuberculosis.
Sadly William had died after they had arrived in Italy.With the ship not Ready to sail back to America 28 year old Elizabeth was alone with anna in a foregin country.Mr and Mrs Antonio Filicchi kindly took them into their home.Elizabeth who had been raised in the church, began learning about Catholic faith from her Italian friends.Elizabeth couldn't stop thinking about Jesus is really Present in the holy Eucharist.
A priest eventually invited Elizabeth to open a school for girls in Baltimore. Some other young woman also came to help. Soon they formed a religious group called the sisters of charity. They became the first Catholic school in the United States run by Sisters. They called Elizabeth Mother Seton and her Symbol was a pink flower. Elizabeth died of tuberculosis When she was only 42 on the 4th of January 1821. She is the first native born North American Saint.

Washing crystals
Non crystals (Which was sprinkles)

Fizz,Foam and Froth
Have you ever wondered what makes things Fizz,Foam and Froth?
A physical change is reversible like how you can change ice back into water. A chemical change is irreversible that means it can't change it back.
When you put baking soda and white vinegar together it will explode how does this happen? Well When you add the white vinegar to the baking soda it changes the properties of the baking soda.
