Aim: To test if a sample of food contains protein.

Hypo:Only the egg will turn purple.

Step 2- Add 5 drops of copper sulfate.
Step 3-Shake the test tube gently side to side.

Results:

Sugar-Negative

Conclusion: The egg and milk turned purple so they have protein in them but the rest didn't. I was nearly right I just didn't think milk would change.

Discussion: They turned purple because they come from animals and you can only get protein when it comes from animals.

Christmas with my family

Today we wrote about what we do on Christmas day with our families.

Creative Writing

Today Miss Birtch taught us how to write a paragraph with 4 sentences.  

I see mountains with green nearly brown colored grass spread out all over it and the bright blue sky behind. In the dark blue sea there are a lot of of boats floating in the water. On the bottom I can see a mountain with bright green trees. When I look around I see heaps of people swimming and having a good time. 

My name is Paige, I have Blonde hair darker at the top lighter down the bottom, I also have green eyes and I come here every weekend because my grandparents have a batch out here. I love to explore, I love the views you get to look at when you get up high and see the whole city. One day I went out for a walk and found a path I have never found before. When I got to the end of the path there was a old house I looked like no one lived there, as you know I love to explore so I went inside the house. 

When I was about to open the door a lady who looked like she was in her late 30's opened the door. She was yelling and screaming at someone in the house, she turned around a saw me. She just walked straight past me like I wasn't there. Then she was about to get in her car but she screamed again and ran over to me when I was walking away " HELP ME!" she said running towards me. 

When I turned around she was standing their crying, I was so confused I had no idea what was going on. There was a little kid walking out holding a dead rat. The lady screamed again and ran behind me. The little kid started to laugh but the lady was crying in fear. I asked " What's wrong." she said " I don't like rats, my cat killed a rat and brought it in then my daughter Lily picked it up and started running after me." I picked up the rat through it of the cliff and helped the lady then went home for a long shower. 

Summer Learning Journey

Hi Emma, I am Paige. Today we signed up for the Summer Learning Journey. The Summer Learning Journey is a program that runs through the Christmas holidays. You have to do blog posts to keep up with your learning.

Something that interests me about the Summer Learning Journey is the Shakespeare one. I like that one because Shakespeare interests me a lot. I am also looking forward to doing the Experiments and gadgets. I really like doing experiments because I like to do risky things.

I hope I will achieve at least 5 blogposts in the Christmas holidays. I hope I will achieve it so I can get a prize. I might not be able to do all of the tasks for the Summer Learning Journey, but I will try as I am going on holiday twice. Whenever I have time I will do a blogpost. I was wondering how long have you been working for the Summer Learning Journey?
