Students in 5NT are designing egg protectors using limited materials.  They’re hoping their egg won’t look like this after being dropped from a height of 2.5 metres.

If we wrote in our agenda today, which we didn’t, the following would have been included:

• library books for tomorrow
• The student council has organized a Cake Walk/Bake Sale this Friday, February 11, to raise money for the Make a Wish Foundation.  Donated nut and peanut free cakes and baked goods are welcome.  I’ll make sure the letter goes home tomorrow.

We cannot see this but about 25 tons of dust rains down on Earth every day. This dust comes from space. Sometimes a rock hits earth; this is called a meteorite. Most meteors are the size of a small pebble.

I love crystals because they are pretty and shiny. I love pretty much anything that is shiny. The word crystal comes from the Greek word kyros, wich means “icy cold.”  The ancient Greeks thought quartz crystals were made from ice that had frozen so hard it could not melt. Some people believe that certain crystals have special powers. Jade is thought to help relaxation, lapis lazuli to help friendships.

I can’t write any more because I have to go to my brother’s hockey game. I do have LOTS more I could say but bye.
