Today Enrich went to Queens Park.

We went to Queens Park because we were focusing on patterns. At Queens Park Mia and I were taking photos of all the patterns we could find. We went to the rose gardens, the bird aviary and to see the animals.

We took photos of pigs, rabbits, wallabies, turtles, goats, clown face bird and hens/roosters.

The clown face bird is a bird with a white face, red lips and blue eyes (it's a Guinea fowl).  It was a good example of a pattern of survivability and beauty. A lot of the birds we saw had patterns of spots and lines on their feathers and the females were dull camouflage colours for survivability too.

One word: Maths! Today I did maths with Katie. In maths we did probability which is a bit like 'guesstimating' what is going to happen.  First we started with a dice.  There are 6 possibilities when you roll the dice - 1 2 3 4 5 6.  Each time you roll the dice, you have got a 1 / 6 chance of rolling each number, which as a percentage works out to be 16.6%!  We all drew tally charts to show all the outcomes and then Katie rolled the dice 50 times and we marked down the results.  We worked out our actual percentages.  Next, we did it again but this time we used a box of chocolates. MMMMMMM! First we had to work out how many chocolates there were.  Then we worked out how many of each flavour there was.  From this, we worked out the probability of pulling each flavour out.  We tipped all the chocolates into a basket and we all took turns to draw out a chocolate. We called out 'Moro' or 'Crunchie' and we recorded  our results.

We did 50 grabs, and then worked out our percentages.  We predicted that we would pull out Cherry Ripe and Turkish Delight the least, as there weren't as many of them, but we pulled them out heaps!  At the end Katie said we could have one chocolate each. I chose the Moro bar because it was my favourite chocolate.

NIcola's CRAZY singing/dancing group

Today I went to a Talent Development Tasters group. The group I was in was Nicola's music group. In Nicola's group we listened to different types of music and danced around CRAZILY until she told us to stop and sit down. Then she played us her favourite song ''My Life Would Suck Without You". She gave us a sheet of paper that had the lyrics on the back. Then she played the song and we sung to it. Nicola told us to bend your knees and your voice will go high, and she also taught us how to breathe when singing. Then we went outside and made complete fools of ourselves singing and dancing like mad people and I even think Tim Shadbolt saw us and the people who were fixing the roof next door were even looking at us doing the grapevine and dancing CRAZILY while singing the chorus.  IT was REALLY and I mean REALLY EMBARRASSING.
