Chinese Cinderella - Reading
Summary - This book is the autobiography of a young Chinese girl, Adeline Yen Mah. Born the fifth child to an affluent Chinese family, her life begins tragically. Adeline’s mother died shortly after her birth due to complications bought on by the delivery, marking her as cursed, or ‘bad luck’, by her siblings. This situation is compounded by her father’s new marriage to a young French-Asian woman who has little affection for her husband’s five children. Niang proves to be difficult and distant towards all of the children, particularly Adeline, whilst favoring her own younger son and daughter born soon after the marriage. Denied love from her parents, she finds some solace in relationships with her grandfather Ye Ye, and her Aunt Baba, sympathetic-yet-weakened adult figures. Adeline immerses herself in striving for academic achievement in the hope of winning favor from her father, who reacted positively to her medal for academic success.
Rocks!! - C.I.B
For C.I.B our topic is Rocks!!
We are looking at petrified matter.
Today we did an experiment on petrified trees or organic matter.
For our experiment we filled a plastic cup up with sand then placed 2 sticks inside so it was completely covered by the sand, after that we added coloured water until there was 1 cm showing above the sand.
Wait for up to 5 weeks.
