Fibonacci

Today at Enrich the maths group did Fibonacci with spirals. The teacher asked if we know how it was related to Fibonacci and no one could guess why, so the teacher showed us the answer. We drew squares in a clockwise direction with the size of each square following the Fibonacci sequence. The fibonacci sequence goes: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21 and so on.  You find the next number by adding the previous 2 numbers together.  Do you know the fiftieth fibonacci number? Its twelve billion five hundred and eighty six million two hundred and sixty nine thousand and twenty five! 

"Pegasaurus"

Today I played "Pegasaurus" and what you have to do is steal pegs of the other team and you get two points for every one you still have on your back and one point for every one you steal of the other teams back. You have five people on each team and three pegs on each players back. You only get one minute to steal as many pegs as you can. It is a really fun game that also teaches us about strong choices. PS Today is my birthday and I am 8!

Biology

Today I did some biology for our high interest station,like we did last week. But today we did comic life and put our house fly pictures on comic life. After that we emailed it to Darryn and had morning tea. After morning tea we did some p4c and some debating. The topic for the debate was  do you think under eighteen should be able to go on face book. My side was the positive and it was really hard to come up with an idea.         

High Interest station

Today I did a high interest station using dinoscopes with Darryn. We pulled a house fly apart and took photos of it. Some had spider webs and do you know what I found a spider and it was alive! I took lots of photos of the spider while Darryn moved the dinoscope around so we would not lose it.
