Middle School Production

Last week the Middle school did their end of year production at the assembly for their parents to show their parents about one of their school values, diversity.

I thought that the Indian dance was the best because their dresses were so pretty.The dresses were sparkling and glittering when the light showed on them. The dance  was about brothers and sisters.The music was a bit fast but soft. I loved their dance.

I also loved the black and white dance because the song was sang Michael Jackson.I like the way theydid it without  mistakes and stopping. The song was little bit fast.The actions were up,down,round and round. It was a lovely dance. I enjoyed the dance.

I enjoy both of the dances. If you weren’t there you  missed the great dances. Please come next year.

The Missing Robot

One day a boy name Jack was tired of cutting the grass. Then the boy had a idea. He can build a robot.   All night Jack made his robot. Finally he  was done making  his robot. He turned his robot on and the robot start cutting the grass.

Then Jack went to sleep and after the sleep Jack got  up and saw the robot was gone.Then people start shouting. Jack went and saw  the robot’s poster on the wall. It said, “The robot will be yours if you call on 000800.” The robot is $4,000.

Jack was scared and he ran back home and asked his dad for the money. Dad said, “Sure because you cut the grass.” Jack  ran as fast as he could. When he got there the robot was not there so he went back home.

Jack was sad he lost the robot. From now Jack cut the grass himself. But one day Jack was cutting the grass just then Jack hear a noise. Jack turned and saw the robot coming back. From that day Jack and the robot cut the grass.

Static Electricity Experiment

Question: What happens when a balloon is rubbed against hair?

Hypothesis:Hair will stand up after we rub it with a balloon.

Equipment: Balloon, hair.

Method: First we blew a balloon up. Next we rubbed the balloon on somebody’s hair. We rubbed it for 10 seconds or more.

Results:The hair easily stood up so it is true that when you rub a balloon on your hair your hair floats.

Conclusion: When you rub a balloon on somebody’s hair the hair stands up.

The reason is-  because there is more positive than negative particles in the balloon. Positive and negative particles love each other so that is why your hair had floated up.
