Then we had to act out a story about an old man called Mr Grim who owned a shop. We all got into groups all the characters were: Mrs Cheer, a customer and talking furniture. Every group acted out and they where all very good. Our favourite part was when Lewis kneeled down pretending to be a chair and when Mrs Cheer (Ryan) wasn't looking Mr Grim (Steven) walked up and slit his throat and Ryan fell over Lewis and tumbled onto the ground and then all the furniture ran out the door screaming aaaaaaahhhhh!

We got a bit of coloured paper and a tray of water and picked a few coloured inks and put the ink inside the water. Then we swirled the ink around and laid the paper on the water. We then picked up the paper and it was all marbled. Our picture was based on Van Gogh's starry night. We got black paper and drew an outline of a village. We cut out our village and stuck it on our marbling. We then stuck up all of our pictures on the whiteboard and sat with Miss Muir and got our picture taken. It was fun making our pictures.

We put our head against the table and got our partner to tap the desk with a pencil so we could hear a tapping noise. Then we saw if we could hear the class talking in the background with our heads on the table.
We learned how sound travels through gas, liquids, and solids. Sound travels through solids best because particles are closer together.
