Term 2 Week 1

This week we had Mike King come to the school to talk to us about depression and anxiety, and recovering from these things. There were two two-hour sessions. He was a great speaker, and he used a lot of humor to tell us about his own journey through depression. Two hours sounds like a lot of time, but he was very entertaining and we didn't get bored. When people asked questions, they got a free poster. I personally  understand a lot more about depression and anxiety after his talk to the school. He has travelled to lots of different countries and schools to talk about the same thing.I think it is very important to tell people about these things in case they are going through depression, so they know what to expect as it can be very confusing and scary.
We also talked about science fair, which is due in week eight. We have to pick an experiment to do, and then we show the whole school our experiment we have done by explaining it. You need a hypothesis, which is an accurate estimation on how you think the experiment will go. So if your topic was 'How does the type of liquid effect how apples float?', your hypothesis could be whether you think that the apple will float better in water have to have a hypothesis. You have to research about your topic and put the results, your research, hypothesis and diagrams on a board, and then you present your board to the whole school in week ten.
