My periscope and my ice ball
Today my siblings and I made a ice ball by filling a water ballon and putting it in the freezer . 2 hours later we opened the freezer and we had a ice ballon ! I cut the part of the ballon that was tied and wallah ! A ice ball !
I also made a periscope out of a "Quaker oats " box here's how it works : your eyesight looks at one mirror at the bottom of the box and if you angle the mirror right you can see the top of the box and put a mirror there it reflects your eyesight to a hole at the top and you can see !

Marie curie and radioactivity
Marie curie was a scientist who studied radioactivity . radioactivity is when a atom decays it let's of particles ( like protons and neutrons) and become a totally different atom . and she was interested in science since she was very young .she was not allowed to go to school in poland (poland was part of russia and the poles hated the Russians ) though . Because of her passion of science she went to Paris for college and became one of the first woman professors there. And married a French man called Pier Curie . The curies experimented with uranium and Marie
Came up with an idea that radioactivity was caused within the atom and that the atom was changing .Before her scientist's thought atoms did not change . She found out that substances with more uranium had stronger rays and substances with less uranium have weaker rays . She experimented with a mineral called thorin and see found the same results as with the uranium and called it radioactivity . She execrated uranium from a rock called pitchblende she discovered that the pitchblende had a stronger radioactivity then uranium she
execrated from the pitchblende . So with pier's help she found two new
Elements from the pitchblende called polonium Po 84 and radium Ra 88 . In 1903 The curies and Henri becquerel ( who found radioactivity but did not name it ) revived the noble prize in physics and in Marie got the noble prize for chemistry for finding the two elements . radioactivity was useful but also harmful Marie died of a blood
Disease caused by radioactivity .

NYC vacation trip
My family and I went to New York City on vacation. My mom drove that car through the night in the thick rain and fog. We left at 4:30 in the morning Newburyport and ended up in Manhattan by eight. After that we got into the most amazing apartment where we were staying. The views from the apartment were spectacular. It was a busy and polluted city I enjoyed watching the three musicals on Broadway. We saw newsies lion King and wicked. They were fun I think I liked most lion King. The costumes were so beautiful. It was nice to have a taxi all around the city so that we can not worry about being stuck in traffic or taking the subway. It rained quite a bit that day but the next day was nice and sunny. My brother night and my sister went to a big toy store called FAO. Here are some pictures from our trip.

The Lord or the Rings Trilogy
I have just finished reading the lord of the rings series.
You know that they are 8th grader series and I’m a 4th grader, but I was able to understand it fine.
They were fun books and my favorite parts where when Sam attacked Shelob ,when Gimli and Legolas were playing a game in which they trying to see who could kill the most orcs, when Gollum fell into the cracks of Mt. Doom, when Aragon came and helped Gondor to win the first battle, when everyone celebrated their victory over Saruon and when Eomer met Aragon on the battlefield .
I learned that if you’re in tough times you should never give up hope and that if you’re small and weak it doesn’t mean you can’t do amazing things. The hobbits in this book are a great example.
Here are some of my pictures from the series.
the house of Gondor includes Boromir prince of Gondor (top left), Farimir steward of Gondor (top right )and Denathor king of Gondor (bottom right) |

beach and clams
today me and my family went to the beach with some friends and they thought us to go clamming . we found ten clams but they weren't very big we got hungry so we went back to the camp to eat . after we ate we went to play in the water i swam a bit . after that we found a hermit grab and started to make a place for him to stay while we were digging out sand we found two clams good sized ones . so we kept digging and while we were digging we saw a clam jump ! it really jumped ! we kept a eye on them for a bit when one of our friends found a moon snail we but it with the clams and it started to go on top of one as if it were eating it ! we took it of quickly and put it in a separate place . i kept an eye on the clams and snail while everyone else kept digging and finding more clams . while i was watching one clam started to dig under i quickly pulled it out .we kept finding clams and snails . we found two more hermits and now had three . sooner or later there was no space to put more sea creatures in so we moved the to a much wider and bigger place . but it led to the ocean so me and my brother built a large wall with rocks and sand so no one could escape . we dug and dug and found twenty-one clams seven snails and seven hermits . we kept an eye on them and sometimes they jumped and sometimes dug under whenever they dug under we had to grab them so they wouldn't escape . but some times we just watched them to see what the would do it was fun and fascinating time at the beach
here is my sister with some moonsnails |
here is a hole where we put the hermits |
here are the clams |
