Crazy Colour Day!

What a great day Colour Day was! Lots of colourful clothes, some crazy, creative costumes and a chance to cram cartloads of class points in as well.

Remember...

It's colour day tomorrow! One class point for each colourful thing you wear, if it matches your team. Two housepoints from the house leaders if they think you have made a big effort! Ooohhh, the excitement!

Mystery Object

Well done to Peter! The first, in fact, the only person who found the right answer! This

is a solar flare. Look how enormous it is compared to the Earth! If that happened near us I think we'd get REALLY bad sunburn.

Congratulations Peter! One housepoint and the knowledge that you are the class brain is yours.

It's The End Of The World As We Know It!

The World Is About To End!!!!! Well, sort of, maybe. There is an experiment about to take place in Switzerland in which scientists will try to create the same conditions that existed in the Big Bang. They are going to smash together tiny particles of matter in giant underground tunnels at almost the speed of light. The temperature will reach 100 000 times hotter than the core of the Sun and it's possible that the energy created will destroy the Earth. If it does, there will be no homework next week.

You can find out more by watching the video on the BBC site.
