 Hello there,

In art we have been doing mono prints. We got a bunch of ___colours___ and put it on a _____. Next we used our drawing of the forests placed it on top of the colour palete and traced or coloured our drawings. My monoprint is extreamly messy thou. I need to improve on pressing down more lightly and trying harder to make it nice and clean. (Very sorry for my messineess I promise that momoprints don't usually look like this)

Here is my mono print

An acid is a chemical. It is any substance that in water changes ur taste. For example sour, changes blue litmus paper to red, reacts with some metals to liberate hydrogen, reacts with bases to form salts, and promotes chemical reactions (acid lists).

2. " " a base

3.What happens when you react an acid and a base?

The reaction of an acid and a base is called a neurtalization reaction. 

4. How do you measure acid levels?

You measure acid levels with pH. The range goes from 0 - 14 and 7 is the neutral.  Anything below 7 is acid and anything above 7 is base.

Art

 Hello There,

As you know we have been learning about Henri and his art. These last few periods in we drew some nature on baking paper and then we printed it out onto paper. Next we had to colour it in with diffrent colours and make it beautiful. 

Actually I wanted to make my art full on black but I know thats not allowed so I didn't do it but instead made it colourful.

Here is my art

Does it look nice?

Is it colouful?

Healthy Diet

 Hola Readers, :)

Excited for Christmas?

In health we have been learning on how to keep a healthy diet. The reason we need to eat properly is because it could affect our future. Like we could get diseases or health problems like diabetes or heart problems stuff like that basically. 

We also learned that we need to eat at least 2-3 meals a day. As a teen, you are growing and going through puberty. It's important that you are eating enough. From food you can getr protein/carbs/dairy and fat. 

I have learnt = BREAKFAST IS VERY IMPORTANT! 

You need to eat breakfast so your brain can function. 

Here is a slide with a food plan of what meals you can eat

What do you eat for breakfest?
