Writing

It is time to start preparing for the Small Schools Public Speaking competition. You have free choice for your topic to speak about.

There are three different purposes of a speech;

• To inform - this could be about something you have learnt about, something you are passionate about or something you are interested in. An informative speech is designed to improve the knowledge of the audience in your chosen topic

• To persuade - you might like to persuade those in the audience to agree with your point of view in a chosen topic. This could be anything you feel strongly about on a local, national or global issue that impacts us

• To entertain - your speech could be targeted at entertaining your audience, either through humour or with an interesting topic

Length of Speech -

Year 3 and Year 4 - two minutes

Year 5 and Year 6 - three minutes

Begin planning your speech this week. You first need to know your purpose - is it to entertain, to persuade or to inform? Once you decide on this, begin your preparation. You will need to research your topic, however be sure to use your own words and not those of your sources.

A good goal for this week will be to have your draft version written. It is better to have too much information than not enough so choose a range of sources for your information.

It is National Science Week!

Today's KLA Activity is to create your own Lava Lamp at home!

You will need:

• Clear plastic cup or water bottle (smooth edges are best)

• Water

• Vegetable Oil

• Fizzing Tablets (Alka Seltzer) - if you don't have any at home table salt can also work

• Food Colouring

Instructions:

• Fill the cup about 1/4 with water

• Add Vegetable Oil until the cup is almost full - leave about 5 cm from the top

• Add a few drops of food colouring - not too much because if it the colour is too dark in the water you won't see the lava

• Break your fizzy tablet in half and add to the cup - the bubbly blobs should start to appear!

• If you don't have a fizzy tablet, add some table salt and watch for salt to catch the food colouring in the water

• Add the second half of your tablet and mix with salt - it should make even more bubbles!

How it works:

The oil floats on top of the water because it is less dense or lighter than water. The food colouring has the same density as the water so it sinks through the oil and mixes with the water. When you add the tablet it sinks to the bottom then starts to dissolve. As it dissolves it makes gas, carbon dioxide. Gas or air, is lighter than water so it floats to the top. The air bubbles bring some coloured water with them to the top. When the air comes out of the coloured water blob, the water gets heavy again and sinks. It does this over and over again until the tablet is completely dissolved.
