David's visit to show us Braille signs

I invited David to come to Room 13 to teach us a bit about Braille. Ollie and I were so excited when he said, "yes "so we looked up on "Louis Braille"and learnt that he blinded himself by going into his father's work shop and stabbed himself in the eye and blinded himself in that eye. It got infected and spread to the other eye causing him blindness in both eyes.

The following Thursday arfternoon came and Ollie and I went to meet David at the office.  We took him to Room 13. David showed us braille signs and answered ALL of Room 13's questions with professional answers.

Room 13 loved having David in our class. We all learnt that Australia has braille on EVERY sign for the blind.

What's That Horrible Smell? by Tom

What the heck is that smell? It smells like it’s under

my bed.

How about I have a look under my bed.

Ah!!!

Mum there’s a rat under my bed Ah!!!

Mum came sprinting in dead fast Why the heck are you screaming Lilly!

There’s a rat under my disasters bed and its really hairy help!

Fine I’ll have a look ah!!! Yeah I know right it’s really

Hairy know not that I mean look at all this junk under

Your disgusting bed that’s probably why the rat was there.

How dare you chuck all of this stuff under here like that could have been a delicious Christmas dinner!!!

I swear I didn’t put any of this stuff Sure you didn’t No I promise. Clean this up at once But No Lilly just do it!

Three hours later after horrible smells and disgusting object’s e.g. rotten fish and a horrifying rusting drain pipe!

I could have spent that time having a beautiful sleep on my bed oh well at least it doesn’t smell 

Tom's presentation on architecture

My goal was to design something to do with architecture.  I created in "Minecraft" a 7 story beach hotel.  I presented it to the class on my mum's computer.

It took 3 months to build but I stopped making it for 2 months.

I created this hotel by starting off with the bottom of the hotel. I used at least 300 blocks to build it starting with the base of about fifty blocks.

On the ground floor there was the reception with a swimming pool and a jungle tree hanging over the swimming pool. There was also a swimming pool on the seventh floor with a diving board and resting areas beside the pool.

Other features of this hotel included bedrooms and toilets. There were also chests and furnaces.

My class loved the hotel and wanted to see more designs. I showed them designs I had built including an airbus A3-80 and a remake of my house.

Ollie's Static Energy Experiments

My goal was to show experiments to the class on ststic energy.

First I showed the class how to bend water with static energy. We blew up balloons. Then rub the balloons on our hair to charge the energy. Then we took turns placing the balloons near the water coming out of a tap.

The result was the water bent slightly when the class placed their balloons near the running water. It didn't work so well with people who had shorter hair- less current.

The other experiment I showed the class was using the same balloon to make pepper jump. This worked really well. The pepper jumped and stuck on the balloons. The people with longer hair - the experiment worked better for them again.
