Advent Symbols

Hello and welcome to my blog

Last week we were doing stuff around the Advent.

If you don’t know about Advent I’ll tell you about it. Advent is a special time of year when many people prepare for Christmas. It starts four Sundays before Christmas and lasts until Christmas Eve. During Advent, families might light candles on an Advent wreath, open little doors on an Advent calendar, and think about the wonderful gift of Jesus’ birth. It’s a time for counting down to Christmas and getting ready to celebrate!

Now that you know I’ll tell you about Advent symbols read down below. Enjoy!!

My story

This week we had to write a book for year 0-2s first we had to write it on a Google doc then we had to make it into a picture book ill show my book I wrote on the doc Its called cops and robbers here it is.

 

Cops and Robbers 

Jack was working on his master plan to rob the bank of Chicago but… Jimmy and his crew were on to him. Jack is a master robber. He robbed the jewellery store more then 5 times and the bank once, where he finally got caught.He has just escaped from jail and is planning his master plan.

 

Jack woke up the next day and he was ready to set his master plan to action.

First he got a getaway driver, then set his bank door bomb on a timer to explode. then he could get the 1 billion dollars… from the bank vault.

 

Jimmy has snuck into Jack’s house where all his plans are. He searches around but can’t find anything. For him it just looks like any ordinary house.

Then he knocks over a book on to the floor and the book has a secret compartment with a remote inside… Jimmy picks it up from the floor and presses it and it opens a trap door.

 

Jack just set the bomb for 24 hours so he has to go home and double check the master plan to see if he got everything just right he hopped into his stolen Mazda demio and speed back to his house. Vrrroooom! Jimmy has just found the proof to put Jack away in jail forever. Then he hears Jack get home…

 

Jack sees a car he normally sees after he robs something, a blue undercover police car he knows that Jimmy is inside so without checking his plan he goes straight to the bank and sets off the bomb manually. BOOM! He runs in as fast as he can and gets a big bag full of $100,000. He didn’t have time to get the rest because Jimmy had just arrived.

 

Jack sprints to his Mazda demio but it doesn’t start, Jimmy calls for backup and Jack starts to run on foot but…it’s too late the backup is here and he is surrounded.

Jack’s worst nightmare is happening. Jimmy is going to arrest him for the second time. 

 

Jimmy put Jack away for 40 years for escaping from jail and trying to rob the bank of Chicago. Jack has already started to plan his escape.

Jimmy celebrates with his police friends.

Champions of Peace

At the end of last term we were learning how we could be Champions of Peace. We studied peace symbols such as the CND sign, the Yin Yang, the dove, and poppies.

We had to create a prayer book with peace prayers from different religions all around the world. I did Catholic, Baptist, Muslim and Jewish.

Here’s my slide.

We also had to make a biography of a Champion of Peace. I chose Martin Luther King Jr because he did a famous speech that promoted peace throughout the world. He helped to stop racism.

 

How could you be a champion of peace?

science

This week we are doing science. We had to make we had to make a buzzer buzz with electricity using salt water and different types of metal,I thought that buzzer wouldn’t buzz because I thought that you had to put it on a battery or something that provides electricity.

Materials used:

  • 2 copper and 2 zinc nails.
  • Beaker full of tap water
  • empty specimen  jar.
  • Jar with salt
  • plastic spoon.
  • Empty beaker labelled S for discard salt water.
  • Several tissues.

Instructions:

1. choose one pair on nails. They can be same or different.

2. Attach the nails to the empty specimen jar with the buzzers.

3.  Then poor some of the water out of the jar labeled T in the the specimen jar.

4.Now get the plastic spoon and and put a t spoon of salt in the specimen jar and steer until it buzzes.

5. After poor the water in the the jar labeled S.

My group did it once after we tried to use other metal items together but it didn’t work. Some other groups use a fork and a copper nail and and the buzzer buzzed, so we learnt that if you put a two different type of metals tougher the buzzer will buzz, we also found out that if you put more salt in and stir faster the buzzer will gets louder.

Have you every done this type of experiment?
