Week 48

MY CAT SOLO

On Wednesday I found out that my cat Solo died but he died about 3 weeks before my dad told me.  My cat lived in the USA because I lived there then when me and my family moved to Sweden he was too old to go on the plane. My cat was 18 years old when he died which is very old for a cat. My cat was African, he came from Kenya. He was a black cat and would kill every rat he would see.  The memorial for Solo is today.

  Elevens Val-SO

This Thursday we had Elevens Val and I was in SO. This was the first lesson because we have 4 Elevens Val periods per year and this one we had now was our 3rd Elevens Val period. In SO we were talking about Leonardo Da Vinci and we were also supposed to find out things about him in groups with two or three people in a group like birthday, when he died, were he lived... After we had searched on the iPad to find facts we were supposed to write them down on a piece of paper.

 Fröken Europa

Last week Patrik gave us a book that is called "Fröken Europa". We were supposed to read it at home three times because we would have a test on what we read the week after. Yesterday we got the test and there were three questions. Th questions were vad berättade Isabel om Norge?and om du var i Evas klass vad skull du göra?and hur tyker du hur den här berättelsen håller ihop? There was one question for each of the chapters we read at home.

NTA Heat Project

We had three candles, and a cup of water for safety.

We also had a aluminium cup to put in the powder so that it would not start to burn because aluminium doesn't burn, but it melts when it is warmer. Some powders melted and bubbled and some didn't do any thing. We went out in groups of 4 and a teacher the rest where in the class room waiting for there turn. 

                                                        AIDS/HIV

Recently people have been donating lots of Money to project RED. Project RED is a donation campaign to people who have AIDS. AIDS is a very big sickness . People have been donating so much to Ebola so people have forgotten AIDS. The first of December it is AIDS day then people where red bands instead of pink fore Brest cancer.

Week 47

                                                                    NTA

In NTA this year we are working with chemicals and those stuff. There are five mystical powder. Now we are mixing the cemicals with water vinegar iodine and red cabbage juice. We worked with the red cabbage juice the red cabbage made very cool efects on the powders. We can start with the powder in the red circle it gave a very slushy form. In the yellow circle became pink and slushy. The green circle became green and slushy. Orenge circle became blue and hard. Moving on to the next one the final one the blu circle made a little harder slush. 

                                                                          Opera

This week we went the royal opera and we got to go backstage. The stage was slightly bent so that the crowd could see the actors. When we were there, people were working so we had to stay out of the way. Things could fall on us when they were working. There was a part of the stage that goes down and up so you could put things on it. There were also trap doors that the actors could fall through when they wanted to disapear.

We thought it was very fun at the opera and we would like to go there agian. We took the bus back to school and continued a normal Monday.

                                          Democracy test

  IODINE EXPERIMENT

This week in NTA we experimented with iodine. We used the white powders marked with red, orange, yellow, green and blue stickers on the lid. We put one spoon of the powders in each coloured ring on the tray, according to which coloured sticker there was on the lid. We dropped six drops of iodine on each powder. The red one mixed up and turned orange. The orange one turned black. The yellow one also mixed up and turned orange. The green one was weird because the iodine rolled off the sides of the powder. The blue one just got lumpy. Here is a photo of the result.

                         Short Stories

                                                                                                    Friday the 11th of November

This week we worked with short stories witch in Swedish is called "novell", 

novell in Swedish is not the same thing as in English because Novel in English is a "roman" in Swedish which is a book. We read a short story out loud in a group, and discussed it afterward. We made sure that the story worked with something called "val modellen". "Val modellen" is a model shaped like whale to show how short stories are written and built up. When every group was finished with discussing if the story fit in the model then all the groups gathered in the classroom and we discussed if it was right or not.

A day at the Opera house!

This week on Monday our class went to the "Kungliga" Opera. The guide told us about a king who ruled over Sweden a long time ago. His name was king Gustav the 3 and he loved Opera. On one of his masquerade parties when he was having dinner with his friends he got a letter saying for him not to attend to his party. The kings reply was "Do you think I am scared." Then when he arrived to his party he was instantly surrounded by five men and one of them took out a gun and killed him.   

                  MUSIC TEST

Last Wednesday we had a music test with Thomas, our music teacher. In the test you were supposed to write what the music symbols meant and draw the symbols. You could answer 34 questions and you could get 34 correct. Everyone got a test in the beginning of the lesson and then got as much time as you needed. It probably took half of the lesson (30 minutes) for everyone to be finished. When you were finished with the test you got a paper to doodle on. We will get our tests back next Wednesday which is week 48.

On Wednesday we worked on "gestaldande ord" with Patrik our Swedish teacher. That is when you describe a word or day for example Christmas.

Life is Beautiful

By Emma and Wilma

This week we finished watching a movie called La Viva e` Bella (Life is Beautiful). It is about the Second World War. A father and his son goes to the concentration camp with the father`s uncle. The father pretends that it is all a game so that his son won`t get frighten. The son is about six years old. When they arrive the uncle goes into a different line, then the dad pretends that he goes into a different team. While he actually goes to the “showers”. Where they gas them to death.

The Mother of the boy is not a Jew but when she found out that they had been taken she demands to follow, because her son and husband are on the train.

Europe trip

This week we worked on Europe trip a few lessons. The thing we worked on was making a passport for when we "travel" around Europe. Nearly everyone is done with the passport and some people have started with the diary cover. The diary is to record the things that happen in our "trip". When we finish that we will look up information in both books and on internet about the places we are "traveling" to.

        Life is Beautiful

We watched a movie called "Life is Beautiful". It was about a man (Roberto Benigini) called Guido. He married a woman called Dora and then they had a son called Giosué. One day soldiers came home to them and took them to a concentration camp. Guido said to Giosué that it was only a game so that he wouldn't get scared. He said that you get points for everything you do and the first one to 1000 points wins a tank, and Giosué loves tanks. Dora wanted to go with to the camp, so she could die with them. They let her go on the train that took them to the camp. We're not going to spoil the rest. We really think you should watch this movie.

Kahoot is a quiz were everyone gets an ipad while Patrick is making a quiz server on the whiteboard. When Patrik has made a game server everyone joins the server and then we start. Everyone chooses a nickname and when you join your nickname comes up on to the whiteboard which is the scoreboard in this case. Patrik can decided how long time you have to answer the questions, we usually play with twenty seconds. He can also choose what category and how many questions. When the game starts a question pops up on the whiteboard, you get three seconds to read the questions. After you have read the question you get three or four answers to choose from. Red blue green and yellow. On your iPad all of those colors pop up and you klick the one you think is the right answer. You get points and you should try to answer as quickly because you get more points that way. Whoever gets the most points wins the game.
