stung by a blue bottle jelly fish

When, where, why, who
As our family got to Mystery island, we boarded the lifeboats to get to the island. The water was sparkling like diamonds. Approaching the island, I could hear the sounds of waves crashing onto the shore and the laughter of people.

After we put on our snorkel mask, we plummeted in the water. When I put my head down, there was a school of fishes under a boat. As we went closer to the coral reefs, there were a variety of fishes. The most fascinating fish was a shimmering blue fish swimming around the reef looking for food. We found a very interesting fish with blue on its head and red and yellow on its body as we explored more into the ocean. As we went deeper into the ocean, I  saw two Great Trevallys swimming past me and its fin nearly scraped my tummy. 


Suddenly, I felt a burning pain on my wrist! It was a blue string wrapped around my wrists. It was severely painful. I quickly unwrapped the tentacles and swam as fast as I could to my dad and told him I got stung by a jellyfish.  I sat on the beach trying to embrace the pain.  As the pain started to increase, I rubbed sand onto the area to try to relieve the pain. The pain started to become unbearable and I was taken to the medical centre by my dad. At the medical centre, they treated my sting with white vinegar.

As we went back to the beach, my wrist started to feel better. The pain gradually subsided.  We went to the wharf and were amazed by the amount of fish swimming below. It was like a swarm of bees flying in the same direction. My dad took a deep breath and dived into the water to swim with them. 

After snorkelling, I decided to jump off the wharf. I nervously stepped onto the edge of the wharf and was hesitating about jumping off the wharf. I closed my eyes with fear and held the rail and let go. When I leapt,  I could feel the blood rush through to my feet.  As I submerged into the water,  I was filled with adrenalin. I desperately wanted to do it again because the feeling of flying was addictive. As I walked across the wharf, I was thinking of what pose to do when jumping off. Suddenly,  I saw a group of fish and decided to jump into them. I jumped with my eyes closed and felt the fin of the fish zooming across my feet. It was thrilling.

Overall the jellyfish sting still hurts but hopefully I won’t get stung by a jellyfish every again. It was a very bad incident. Mystery Island was picture perfect!!!!!!!

soluble or insoluble

Soluble or Insoluble - Does it Dissolve?
Task 1
Will the substances in the table below dissolve in water? Test each one and complete the table. There are extra rows for you to test other substances.

Stuck or can’t get the material you need? Ask your family what they think.
If you are still stuck, search online for the answers. 

Substance 
Does it dissolve in water?
Sand
No ✅
Chalk
No ✅
Flour
No ✅
Rice
No ✅
Coffee granules
yes
Sugar
Yes ✅
Salt
Yes ✅
Gravy
No 





Task 2
Write the definition in your own words. Only use information from trustworthy websites like Cambridge, Collins and WordHippo.
What does soluble mean?   
able to be dissolved to form a solution ✅
   
What does insoluble mean?    
incapable of being dissolved.
   
Task 3
Sort all the substances you tested in Task 1 into the table below.

Task 4
Watch this video to see what happens when a substance dissolves. Some words are tricky to understand so try watching it with your family and discuss what is happening.

Task 5
Investigate what conditions can help a substance dissolve in water more easily or quickly.
Possible ideas: What if the water was at a different temperature?
What if you stirred the substance more times?

Present your results as a table like the following examples.

my invention

Many people use scissors today, but have you ever wondered how scissors work?
Scissors are made out of different parts such as the blades, the finger holes, the pin and the handle. The blades help cut the material. The pin in the middle causes the blades to open and close. The two circles at the top are where you put your finger in.
People in the olden days use to cut paper with knives and would easily cut their finger off accidentally. As a result, scissors were invented to make life much easier. Today we can find a variety of scissors such as 

  • Sewing scissors
  • Embroidery scissors
  • Crafting scissors or All-purpose scissors
  • Right and left-handed scissors
  • Gardening scissors
  • Grooming scissors
  • Medical scissors

my invention

My new toy invention is called Dronammock. Dronammock will be a hammock cross a drone. A hammock will be controlled by 4  Rolls Royce engines. There will be multiple controls on both sides of the hammock. The max altitude is 500 meters above sea level. On each charge, Drammock can hover for as long as 10 minutes. 

The 3 three main parts of  Droneammock are the drone, the hammock and the controls. The Droneamock has a very cool feature so when you are at the height you want you can press a control and it all goes silent. This device is also very helpful for young kids to learn skydive at young ages. Droneammock can also carry you to great heights to explore your region. 

Overall, Droneamock is very helpful and is fun and everyone should buy one.
