Have I broken the school record?
I think I have broken the school house point record because this week in one afternoon I have received 15 house points, I got 5 for science, because we had to do this sheet and find 6 ways to make a little toy car move. Everybody first wrote down push in one box, pull in the other box and spin in the next box and some people like me could blow it so we wrote that in the next box and that made us have 4 but we had to have ways to make the car move. Then Mrs Burridge my teacher said if anyone can be a super scientist and find 2 more ideas to make the car move then for one idea you will get 5 house points and for the other idea exactly the same, 5 house points. I was working really hard trying to come up with new ideas to make the car move then I put the car on my arm and made it slpe down so the car rolled down my arm, then I went to show my teacher and she said 'Children, STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN'. After we were quiet she said Elliot has found the first super scientist idea, she said it was putting your little car on your arm and making your arm like a slope and letting go of your car and you will find your car will move down. Then the whole class wrote in the fifth box slope. Then we all went back to experimenting. Then I tried dropping the car and a few other experiments, I found these did not work so well, but the drop did, so I went up to Mrs Burridge and told her I'd found another one, I showed her dropping the car. Then she stopped the class again and said Elliot has found the second super scientist idea, dropping. My friends were amazed, so they wrote down my idea which was dropping your car. Then I showed my sheet to my teacher and she said I could have 10 house points as I had found both super scientist ideas. The other housepoints were for bits and bobs over the afternoon totalled 5 making a total of 15 house points.
