'17/18 Week 17

History. Following the events of WWI on the map.

       Most of the kids' after-school activities had their Christmas finales and parties this week. It seemed, I was constantly baking goodies for one event or the other. Thankfully, this enormous amount of sugar did not affect our school days. Now, only the choir concert remains, and then - it will be Christmas!

Science. Saara's TOPS experiment called for building our own fuse.

When we attached the fuse to a balloon, it popped as soon as the thin wire burned a whole in the plastic.

We has high hopes for Andrew's experiments. We were supposed to witness the formation of precipitate or a substance that forms as result of a chemical reaction.

One of the experiments was successful - as a result of the reaction the color of our liquid changed and yielded a kind of an ink.

Other experiments went wayside. We tried, but nothing changed or formed. It was worth trying though.

Trying to catch any residue, if it happened to form.

Last ballet class this year.

Taekwondo. Testing for the yellow belt included knowing self-defense moves.
