The clumps are larger every day, we notice this as well, but mostly what we notice is a certain special smell. When finally it all becomes a nasty mass of slime, my mother takes it out, and says, “Apparently, it's time.” She dumps it in the garbage can, though not without regret, then fills the space with other food that's not so ancient yet 7 Caption competition Come up with a caption for the following image, the funnier the better! 8 Create a picture 9 Colour 10 Discovery Hunt Around your space look for the following things: - Something blue - Something that makes you smile - Something strong - Something metallic - Something symmetrical Red or blue You will need: - 20 pieces of paper - A pen - A timer How to play: - On each of the pieces of paper write ‘red’ on one side and the turn the paper over and write ‘blue’ on the other side. - Choose whether you are going to be red or blue. - Start the timer - Throw all the sheets of paper up in the air - As fast as you can turn all the pages over to be the colour you chose. - See if you can beat your time next time. 11 Name the scary characters quiz 12 13 Quiz Answers Finish the saying Genius in 1% inspiration and 99% _____perspiration__________ I can’t get a word in ____edgeways_________ Get off your high ___horse_______ I think we got off on the wrong ______foot_________ Questions Which actress, model and singer served 18 days in prison for tax evasion in 1982?
