In class we use the rosary every morning.We use it to pray for the sick, poor or people in need.These are the four different types of mysteries (below).The three prayers that are used in the rosary, Our Father, Hail Mary and The Apostles Creed.You start by saying the Our Father once and then you say the Hail Mary ten times and then the Apostles Creed. You can use the rosary any time whether you are feeling happy or sad.

My Ingredients Graph
When my group made our super brick we had a list of ingredients and we thought that we would make a graph about it.

Super Brick
Super Bricks
Making super bricks was a science experiment that was used to measure how high the brick could get by droping it on the concrete without it breaking. Every group used different ingredients. Some of the ingredients that were supplied were
· Sand
· Cement
· Water
· Clay
· Plaster of Paris
· Flour
Before we made the super bricks as a class we made one simple brick only out of Plaster of Paris. My group (Ladybeetles) used gloves so that we didn’t get any of the mixture on our hands. The first thing that we did was put in 3ml of sand, 7ml of dry cement, 3.5ml of water, 5ml of clay, 4ml of Plaster of Paris. Then we took turns in mixing the ingredients together and once they were mixed in we scooped the mixture into a cardboard matchbox. We let them dry in the sun for two days and three days later we did a drop test to see how strong they were.
We thought that the aim of this experiment would be to try and make the super brick stronger then the Plaster of Paris brick and to see what ingredients would make the brick stronger. Some groups figured out that some of ingredients that they used made the brick better or worse. The Plaster of Paris brick broke at 160cm and my group’s brick broke at 200cm (2 metres).

Our Visitors from Canossa
Yesterday a class from Canossa Primary School, Ingham,Trebonne payed us a visit.We learnt about working and living in the country.This was a spectacular experience because our lifestyles are very different.Later in the afternoon they showed us a slideshow/powerpoint.On the powerpoint there were pictures of their homes and their school.In their whole school they only have 25 kids and they only have 2 classes.One of them is called Conte which is preps, ones, twos and threes and the fours, fives, sixes and sevens are called O'Meara.Out of the 13 people who came to our school there was 4 who were in my class for the day.Their names were Sarah(year 4),Aiden(year 5),Gerri(year 5),Sharon(year 4). There is only 4 staff members.Mrs Sartor who is the secretary,Mrs Lynch who is the principal,Mrs Kemp who is the O'Meara teacher and Miss Lucy who is the Conte teacher.
