Anzac Day Writing & Failed Experiment

Today we wrote an introduction for our information reports on ANZAC day.
For the people that doesn't know what ANZAC means, it stands for Australian and
New Zealand Army Corps.
Firstly, we did a table on the ideas we wanted to base our paragraphs on,
how much we knew about that idea and some research questions on that idea.
Secondly, we found out more about it and answered the questions that
we wrote on the table. Now we were ready to write our introduction.
This we did today.

The SPCA came and talked to us on Wednesday. They talked about how we could help them out and help the animals. Here are some handy hints: You can make rag fairies. These are pieces of flanellete sheets, pure/heavy cotton sheets or pillow cases cut into 40cm x 40cm squares. They also need lots of newspaper, towels, and food for all animals, not just cats and dogs. Did you know they care for horses, sheep, cows any farm animal as well as domestic?

We can also make tug toys. These are long strips of fabric plaited together with knots in them. The longer they are, the better.

The Failed Experiment

We heard from Miss J that if you crush WeetBix or Nutrigrain into powder, you could find particles of iron. So we crushed lots of Weetbix and Nurtigrain and used magnetics to extract the iron. Unfortunately there was not enough iron to be seen, and also we think our magnetics were not strong enough. It was fun though.
