Babe - Book Review

Babe The Sheep Pig

The sheep pig is an adventure book. The farmer wins a little pig in a festival and then goes with the pig to his farm. In this place, the pig meets new dogs, sheep, cats, new animals and new friends. The little pigs wants to run with the dogs and work with the farmer. The dog is the new Mum for the little pig and went from little pig to sheep-pig. This pig helped the sheep with the other farmer's dogs and talked about this with the sheep. He's not a bad animal, he only works and then the farmer wants to go to a competition with the sheep pig. The winner will have $1,000,000 and the farmer needs the money. The sheep-pigs wins the competition and has 100 points from all of the judges.

This book is really interesting and has a good message for the people because when you have a goal, you need to learn new things. People's colour, culture, language etc. is not important. The most important thing is the values and honesty.

In my opinion, the little pig helped the other animals and the farmer. He doesn't need the money, he only wants true friends and a new farm. He represents honesty, respect and big love. He is cute and clever. This is only a little pig, but he's the most important pig and is really friendly, generous and adventurous.

I would recommend this book to kids and young people because it is an important inspiration for the world. The young people make a difference to our world with the 'little things' using their values.

A Little Fun Science Experiment

Check out this cool science experiment video to see proof that carbon dioxide is heavier than air.

Today , our Esol class will do a little fun Science Experiment . 

Aim: In this experiment, I want to demonstrate that Carbon Dioxide is heavier than the air.

Hypothesis: I want to get the Carbon Dioxide, pour it onto a glass and pour it onto the candle to stop the candle burning.

Equipment: The equipment we need to do this experiment is 2 tall glasses, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, candle and matches.

Method: Firstly, we put 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of vinegar into one glass. It fizzes up so we have to wait until the bubbles come down. And we pour the Carbon Dioxide gas into another glass without pouring the liquid. So the Carbon Dioxide is heavier than the air so we can pour it down, if it is lighter, it will fly up. We then poured the carbon dioxide from the second glass into the candle. 

Results: The candle stopped burning because Carbon Dioxide stops fire. 

Safety/Risks: However, we have to be careful when we do this experiment because we might burn the house :))

Conclusion: I had been successful proving that Carbon Dioxide is heavier than the air :D
