Slime-Make lime slime

What you need:
Cornflour
food coloring
a small mixing bowl
water

Word Bank: Cornflour, bowl, food colouring, water, slimey, slime, lime, fluid, high viscosity, low viscosity, spoon, mix, green, hard, editable, honey, squishy, stale.

The Procedure: Pour a little bit of cornflour into the mixing bowl. Stir the cornflour while pouring little amounts of water until the cornflour is thick. To make the slime any color you want, stir about 5 drops of food coloring into the mixture. Stir the slime REALLY slowly. Then stir the slime as fast as you can. It shouldn't be hard to stir the slime really slowley and then really fast. Now try punching the slime. When you're aiming for the plate of slime try to punch the slime fast and hard. It should feel like you are punching a solid object. You can also eat you slime. It is editable!!

My Prediction is that all of the ingredients that we mix together will turn out to be lime slime! I thought that the slime will be like the "Galaxy Slime" and not stick to your hand so much but instead it wasn't shiney and it made your hand all smooth and slimey.

Bed time story for Princess Pea

Once upon a time there lived a little girl called Princess Pea. Princess Pea had a Mother called Queen Esmeralda, a Father called King Arther, a brother called Prince George and a little sister called Princess Sophie. They lived in a grand castle far, far away in a land called England. One day an evil widow called Nenassy made a plan to rule the land by taking away the King to the place called Never Never land. Once she got the King she decided to get the Queen too since she thought it was so easy. Once she got hold of the Queen she woke up. But Nenassy thought up a trick at once. She said that her child was crying so she came up to help and she also saw that Queen Esmeralda had fallen of her bed. So she helped her up. Nenassy had disguised herself as one of the rich people because Nenassy has been in jail at the castle. So they decided to invite her to a "thank you" party but Prince George, Princess Pea and Princess Sophie recognised the face and decided to stay in Prince George's room. They tryed to make a plan but it was too hard to think of one.So instead of dobbing they decided to think of something else instead. Just when the maids where setting the table for the "thank you" party the children put wriggly worms in the sandwiches on Nenassy's plate! But to their surprise when they all sat down and ate their sandwitches Nenassy said her sandwitches where delicious!!! The kids were amazed. They thought that she would hate it. Prince George said that she has been in the castle jail for months and for her food she would of been fed worms! While they were eating Nenassy realised that this was one of the best days of her life! She was so happy to be treated like this instead of being fed yukky things in the jail. So when the party was over she went home with a really big smile on her face. When she went home she looked at her house with cob webs, spiders, dirty walls and messy rooms. "Oh dear, this place is a disgrace" She said. So she decided to brighten up her house. She painted the house walls bright yellow, she cleaned the cob webs, tidied the rooms until they were sparkling. Then she decided to invite people over for a party. Then she thought about the mean things she has done in the past. She felt so sorry that she started to cry. Nenassy had learned a lesson not to be mean to anyone ever again.
The End!!!!

Rocks

A rock is a natural substance composed of solid crystals of different minerals that have been fused together into a solid lump.

Igneous-Igneous rocks are the oldest kind of rock. Igneous rocks are formed deep inside the earth where the temperature is very high. Some Igneous rocks float because a large number of air bubbles are trapped inside. Igneous rocks can be found near volcanoes such as Duluth hill in Duluth, MN. They can also be found near Diamond Bar Volcano in Hawaii. This is a picture of a Igneous rock.

Metamorphic-Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have changed from 1 form to another. These rocks form deep in the earth where it is very hot and there is a lot of pressure. This is a picture of a Metamorphic rock

Sedimentary-Sedimentary rocks are made from sediments. Sediments are other small pieces of rocks. They turn into pebbles, gravel, sand and clay. As they settle, they pile up and form layers. This is a picture of a Sedimentary rock.
