Letter From Frazer

Today we got a letter from a classmate called Frazer who is in Scotland for three weeks. He is currently in Edinburgh and is enjoying it. When he was in Amsterdam his family was able to leave the airport and they got a tour up the canals. Hope you see this Frazer and enjoy the rest of your time in Scotland.

Science fair

At the bis since fair we got to look at all the really cool science projects everyone was working on really hard. Some people got prizes like first second and third Harry and I got commended work. The people who got first second or third get to go to the inter schools and possibly win a prize. The science fair was really fun and we got to see tons of cool experiments made by other people.

On the 11th of july 2013 room 15 won the interclass basketball championship. The team was Kameran,  Nash, Sophie, olivia, Temeka, Alec and Billy. We played room 20 in the final the score was quite close at half time but in the second half we started to smash them. The starting lineup was Kameran, Nash, Billy, Sophie and Olivia.This is the second sport that we have won.

                                                       

Science with Craig

The Isel team went to the top basketball court to see Mr. Maybe's science experiment. All we could see were washing liquids and an ice box full of dry ice. He put four bits of dry ice into two cups and poured cold water into one cup and hot water into the other. A reaction started to happen and the cup with cold water had steam coming out of it. The same thing happened to the cup with hot water and then he put washing liquid into both cups and then it started to blow up all these bubbles and whenever someone touched them they evaporated into smoke. It all looked really cool.

As they were playing Billy fractured his thumb by fending Kamreran but he kept playing after that there were some great tackles and great try but all up it was awesome
