Minecraft Report

Minecraft in some people’s eyes is a game that is not educational and therefore should not be played at school; they say it is a waste of time.  In my opinion it is a creative program that can be used as a game or for education. 

What is Minecraft?

Minecraft is a fun and creative game about placing blocks and doing anything you can imagine.  Minecraft is a sandbox game which allows players to build buildings lakes and much more out of coloured and textured cubes in a 3D world.

Why is it educational?

Minecraft is educational because you could use it for maths (Area and Perimeter by using each block as a centimetre.)It is also educational because It lets you use your imagination and that inspires kids to read and write.

Science with P4

 Yesterday our class had science we were making temporary lava lamps.  My lab partner is Henry, we decided to test how much fizzing tablets would over flow the test tube.  It turned out  that the more fizzing tablets there are the more likley it is to overflow.  We think it was because the tablet had to be crumbled to fit in the test tube and that had an effect on the experiment.  It was interesting how sometimes it would look like little blobs and sometimes it would look like a volcano erupting.  It was very messy and hard to clean up concedering Henry didn't want to clean up. :)

The Hatchet

We just finished reading the Hatchet. It was a story about a boy called Brian who gets stuck in the middle of nowhere after the pilot taking him to his dad in Canada had a heart-attack and swerved off coarse and died. Mrs Harvey ended up crying it was so funny.
