Insulation and Science

The test

Caleb, Oscar, Pipiri and Harry test out the different insulation in icy water that is only 2 degrees celsius  in temperature. Brrrrrrr!

Animal fat provides excellent insulation against the cold. Must be why animals such as walrus and seals have lots of blubber. Wouldn't want to insulate your house with it though!!

Which insulation is the most effective?

Resurrection!!!

One day Mr and Miss Blue had a son called Fred. Fred was a realy good reader like his older brother Georgie but he died when Fred was a baby. Mr and Miss Blue are sad still. Was it a murder? They will never know. One day an old man came to their doorstep and said they had found the body of their son...



He was found in a cellar of an old man who died years ago..


14 years later... The Son Fred started asking questions. They said it was a murder of an old man called Zack! Fred was destined to see his brother so he asked if he could see the coffin of his brother. Mr and Mrs Blue stared at Fred amazed, but they did let him. They took him there the next day. He was in his coffin breathing. They shocked him back to life. They were so happy but....


2 years later the son was gone!! He  died on the spot. He had blood down his back and a knife next to him. He was gone.

milk in school

I loving having milk in school.

Having milk in school motivates me to do all my work so I can have a refreshing drink to cool me down. Milk is full of calcium which is good for your teeth. For example my little sister has bad teeth but she is getting better at drinking milk because she knows that it is good for her.

Milk strengthens your bones and gives you lots of energy.
Normally I don't get enough sleep so I drink lots of milk to give me lots of energy.

I enjoy having milk in school.
