Silver is used to make money, jewellery, photography, mirrors, batteries, silverware, and medical equipment. Because it is so bendable, it can be made into wires or shaped.
And silver has had medical uses for thousands of years too. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, wrote of the healing properties of silver. And silver does have a toxic effect on some bacteria, algae, fungi, and viruses. In fact, silver was used successfully in WWI to treat infections before the invention of antibiotics.
Silver has medicinal uses, even today. Today, wound dressings containing silver are well established for clinical wound care and have recently been introduced in consumer products such as sticking plasters.
Of course, silver has been used as money for thousands of years. Until 1964 many US coins were 90% silver, though today silver is only used in special commemerative or collector’s coins here.
Dentists use silver in fillings

Kris Kringle!
This year for Christmas we'll be doing Kris Kringle. Its were we pick a name from a hat and we have to buy that person a gift. Sounds good but the only problem is when you get your gift somebody can take it from you (its allowed) and if you get something good somebody could take it :( But anyways im looking forward too doing Kris Kringle!

Rosary
Today Mrs.Cook came and did the rosary with us. We finished the rosary in under half an hour which is good because because last year when Ms. Zupan was with the grade 8s they didnt finish it.
