Cipher wheel

Aloha Bloggers,
In topic we have been learning about cipher wheels and in the war men would use it to send codes to the enemies and the enemy would haft to decode the message and fast in case it had important information.
There have been codes that have never been figured out.
So in class we created a cipher wheel and gave it to a buddy and we would give them a number on the start of a letter.
I stuck sticky notes all around the school and then I gave my buddy a note to start with and then she had to find the other notes which would lead her to the treasure. the treasure was a Crunchie bar.
Here is a picture of my cipher wheel.

Oobleck!

Today for quarantine school tech. We were learning about states of matter, and we had to do an experiment which was creating oobleck and then we had to do an observation doc and a discovery doc on what the process was like and what we learnt, but I wasn't able to get my docs on my blog post but here are some pictures of my oobleck. 
Here is a video of my process. 
Hope you enjoy and please leave a comment.


The question in my discovery doc was: Why does oobleck act like it does?
and after some research I found out the reason why, its because when you squeeze the oobleck really hard the water evaporates but when you release it the cornstarch reacts and then it melts.
To make oobleck you just need:
1 1/2 cups of corn starch,
and
1 cup of water also you can add food colouring to make the oobleck a nice colour like red or blue.

The Return of the Market Day Posters!

In class, we have our Market day coming up and we have been making posters for what we are selling. 
My group is selling paper logs that you can burn in your fire. 
We have been making these since term 2 and We have been preparing them for market day. 

Our market day is from 2-4pm and we will be selling these Briquettes for $1 each or 3 for $2. I have designed a poster to attract people to come buy My groups product. Would this make you want to buy a Briquette and what can I do to make it better?
