My Funky Dunky Twas

This week at school we went to are book buddies on Friday. Instead of reading we painted. Well I didn’t paint, my book buddy Karley painted. She did this cool fall painting. She painted a tree with a couple of leaves. The rest of the tree was branches. It was pretty cool to see grade 1 and 2's paint. I always thought it was so difficult to paint with a paint brush. Especially with wet paint under your arm, so if you put your arm down you would get paint all over your arm.
Also this week at school we played silent ball. You stand on a chair and you pass a ball without saying a word. That why it is called silent ball. If you don't catch the ball then you sit down. But if the other person throws low and you don't catch it then they are out. It is fun to play because you get to stand on your chair. But what if you fall down. You would get a big boo boo:(
This week there was a big run at Birds Hill Park. Some people went but some people stayed. It was only for the people for run club. One girl in are class came in 2nd. That is pretty good for a girl in grade 5. The class was quiet and empty. It was cool though because we had lots of room on the play structure to play because some of the grade 4,5,and 6's went to the run. They called it the Turkey Trot. It is such a funny name.
Last but not least... an experament!!! At school we did a experament that took so long to do. We were trying to form a cloud but sadley it failed:( We got to go in the staff room. Kayla kept on saying there is a secret button for a hot tub because every staff room has a hot tub.YA RIGHT!!! Mrs.Dent Scarcello got a pie plate full of ice. Then she got a jam jar half way full of hot water. Then she put the pie plate over the jar to form a cloud. But all it did was fog up.
Well that is it for my Twas. Thank you for reading it.

Hi Mrs. Dent Scarcello's class! I've been following your blog since the beginning of the year and I think you are doing an awesome job of blogging you adventures and learning. I was just reading about your experiment and found a video that shows another way to make a cloud in a bottle. It's from Steve Spangler (he's very awesome... you might want to check out his Pepsi and Mentos video too). Here's a link:

Have you done any other weather experiments yet? I look forward to reading more about your year!

Katie, I thought that silent ball was fun too. When we played I caught the ball every time I got it. How did you do?

You did a good job writing your post.I was one of the people that ran in the turkey trot I came in 7th. I wonder what we could have done differently in the experiment.
