Week 5 Term 2

This week I finally got my silver badge. I was called up on stage on Monday. Their is no school this Friday because it is teacher only day and the following Monday is the queens birthday, so we get the weekend plus Friday, and Monday off. Mrs Crowe has been away on a maths course, so on Monday and Tuesday we have had Mr McCabe. I have finished my reading and I handed it in on time. For maths, I have finished all of the work on fractions and have now started on ratios. This week I have learnt how to solve problems involving fractional numbers, how to find the square root of fractional numbers, how to express quantities as ratio, and how to express ratios as fractions.

In tech arts, we went on an app that was on the iPad and we had to choose some instruments like smart guitar, smart drums, etc, to back up our blues song. Someone from our pair then had to sing while the music was playing and record it. Once we were ready we presented it to the class pair by pair, giving feedback on each others work. I had extension food this week and we made ham and cheese scones. I had to add a bit more flour because it was a bit sticky, but in the end it still tasted great.

For science fair, my question is what is the effect of phosphate on plant growth, but I am thinking of changing it to what s the effect of nitrogen on plant growth because I will get a faster result and I don't have long to grow them. I have 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% as my fertilizer amount. On 0% I have no pearls of urea, 25% has two and a half pearls of urea, 50% has five pearls of urea, 75% has seven and a half pearls of urea, and 100% has ten pearls of urea (urea is the closest fertilizer you can get to nitrogen as it is 46% nitrogen). I give them one tablespoon every one and a half days because after one day they are too wet, and after two days they are too dry. I couldn't find enough container for them in store for 15 plants so I had the idea to put the in yogurt containers because it saves a lot of money and are all the same size. I put some small holes in the bottom, and they sit on the conservatory windowsill because they cats cant knock them over and they get a reasonable amount of sun.
