The Pattern Trip

Hello.  On the 27th of March (which is today) we went on a trip to look at all the patterns in the environment.  First we went to the park and we started scribbling everything.  We went to a duck pond.  
I hate duck ponds.  Oh, did I tell you that Brianna was my partner?  Maybe not.  Anyway the duck pond was stinky.  Darryn told us that it was really deep.  Then we went onto the bridge.  I love bridges.
They help you cross stinky duck ponds.  Darryn told us weeks ago that bridges were a strength pattern.
We finally got into the pyramid museum and checked out the art gallery

Maths With Chocolate

Hey!  Today I did Maths with Katie.  She called the maths activity ' guesstimating ' and sometimes she called it ' probability '.  We talked about percentages.  A percentage has to be out of one hundred.  If it is out of 50 and you got 25 right you would divide it with 50 then times it with 100. That is how you get it. We used a 6 sided dice to ' gesstimate ' the numbers we could possibly get.  We talked about even and odd and what side would get the most.  Then we did the same with chocolate.  It was a favourites box so we took the different pieces apart. And we each got a piece .
Yum...

This Bit of Cardboard

Hello!  Today we watched an interesting video, well, actually two videos about a boy a and these cardboard boxes.  The first video was introducing him and this man.  In the summer holidays he had to stay with his dad at his work.  He didn't like standing around doing nothing so he made this cardboard arcade.  No one came.  Until this man came to buy a door knob (the arcade was in the garage of the store) and then came into the arcade.  He posted all about it online.  Lots of people came to play at Caine's Arcade.  Check out the video - it's amazing!  http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/faIFNkdq96U

Drama Queen

I packed my bag and in it I put....  Oh!  Hello!  Today we played a drama game about memory.  My turn was second.  It was easy, for me anyway.  I put in a book.  Samantha put in the world!  The game would have been finished then, but Samantha wasn't the last one.  Only about two people didn't remember that I put in a book.  Oh by the way, I love books!!  I felt relaxed because I knew that I was second and I knew that it would be super easy for me to remember .  I'll spy you next week.  Bye!
