Samarost was a really great game, though, it was pretty complicated and smart. I can tell you, if the class wasn’t working together, it would probably take us half a day to finish the game!

Samarost mostly uses brain power. At first, I thought it was a shooting game,it looked as if that “huge space ship” shot an orange laser, then the “guy in pyjamas” flew to the space ship. I was wrong. I just makes you think of what happens next.

The space ship was not what we think, for example, the key to the power supply was also a smoking rod and the trees had buttons.

The effects were arelly amazing. The background music was really mysterious. Although (even if I didn’t notice earlier) the music might’ve been there to help us think because it was calm, slow and soft. Plus the presentation made it look cool.

How-ever, the game didn’t have any instructions, abd didn’t give us much clues. The hands showed up, we thought it might’ve meant something. 

Try the game, it is really fun. Try it out yourself!

What is CSIRO you ask??  

       Well, CSIRO stands for                    

Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation.

Did you notice the word SCIENTIFIC?? Bet you have, Yes CSIRO is about science, for more information, go to http://www.csiro.au/.

We had two lessons already. The first session, we had Kylie helping us. We did experiments about potato calculators, dissolving sugar crystals, swinging pendulums and checking stomach gasses.

During our second session, we did chemical science with Prue. My group did something about electricity, detergent and food colouring, made clear slime, dried up water and loaads more. There were so much that the group I was with didn’t get the chance to finish every activity. The best was  the slime part because we get to keep it. You can stretch it, bounce it and do loads of things with it!

 I just can’t wait ’till the next CSIRO session!!!
