This one is the wall                     This one is a spider web

in front of the play                       in a bush. I think this is                          

centre. I think this                        a pattern of survivability.

a pattern of strength.

Yeah. It's finally time. We were going on a field trip to Queens park and the Museum. I LOVE the museum and the park. We were going there because our Concept Curriculum is patterns. We were going to look for patterns in the outside world. Outside Enrich, I mean. Also we went there to learn about patterns. I learnt the difference between man-made or natural patterns. We got put into groups. I was with Katie. It was a lloonngg walk to the Museum. On the way the first pattern that I noticed was the parking metres. They are a pattern of order and time. I never knew that tooth picks were a pattern but they are if you think about it. By the time we got to the Museum I was all patterned out even though we hadn't even started the actual trip. There are so many pictures like the one up the top of the fence of the playcentre. And also the one up the top again of the spider web in the bushes.

Thank you Dad and the rest of the parent helpers for coming along and helping us.

Tasters

Mmmm tasters so yum [stop it Madison keep to the schedule] "Sorry Miss Bossy Boots." "Oh sorry myself." Back to the subject or maybe a different one? Well today we did some talent development tasters they were: art, maths and music. 
I chose maths because I hadn't done it. The sort of maths we did was probability. In other words "guesstamating" which is when you guess and estimate. We did it with a box of chocolates- yum. Anyway we wrote down what sort of chocolate it was and under it we put how many chocolates of that sort there were, and then worked out how much of a percent out of 100 it was. This is what it looks like;

Caine's arcade

We watched a video clip on YouTube about a 9 year old boy called Caine who made a games arcade out of cardboard boxes. It all started off we he went to a real games arcade and won a little basket ball hoop so he then got the idea of making his own games arcade. He started of by making one game then it got bigger bigger and bigger. By which, I mean that he made more and more games. At his Dad's shop, he took over the whole front of it and put his games in it. He made game passes. If you paid 2$ you got a fun pass and got 500 turns on any game. How cool is that? Anyway, his first customer was someone that needed to buy a door handle so he went to George's shop.[Caine's dad], and saw the game's arcade. He bought a fun pass. On Facebook he told all he friends that a 9 year old boy had made his own game's arcade. Next thing, Caine's Dad took Caine to a real games arcade and by the time they got back to the shop, there were lots of people there waiting and cheering ready to play his arcade games! When Caine got back he was very surrprised and happy. To watch the clip go to youtube and type in Caine's arcade.

Yum! Notes

I'm not talking about notes being 'yum' here. I'm talking about apples here. OK you think I'M crazy. A teacher called Nicola used apples for music notes. I'll explain later. Today we did some activities around the classroom. If you don't understand here's a little simpler explanation: everyone got into groups and went of with a teacher. The groups were; fractals, survivability and music [the one I'm in]. These are all patterns related workshops.Now the thing you've all been waiting for [ well not really, but anyway] Nicola showed us some music notes and put the correct size apples ontop. For example; a whole note gets a whole apple, a half note gets half an apple etc. That's all for today oh woopsie one more thing;
