The long hot trip!

I couldn't  wait. Today is the day when we are going on a field trip at Enrich to Queens Park and the museum to explore more patterns outside and inside. First we got into our groups I was with Katie. The first step we took outside was patterns. It was amazing how many patterns there were. We got a piece of paper  and one camera and a partner. On the paper it had the 4 types of patterns we were looking at beauty, order, strength, and survivability. As we walked down the road we stopped every ten seconds  to write down a pattern. As we arrived at the museum we explored the patterns inside the museum. There wasn't as many patterns as outside but it was good. We went through the rose gardens with beauty filling up because there were heaps of roses. As we made our way over to the duck pond the ducks all there ducks has mostly 5 patterns each. Then we met all the other groups at the band rotunda and had lunch. Then my  group went to see the animals. It smelt but it was worth it. Then we went to the bird avairy and went through looking at all the birds and cages. Then it was time to head back to Enrich. I had a long hot day but it was worth it. Thank you Jason for coming on the trip and I hope you enjoyed reading my blog Mum. These are my three favourite photos of the day!

Maths, maths, maths!!

Do you think this picture is confusing? Well once you get it explained, it's not hard! But don't worry, Lucy is here to explain it to you!! Today for talent development I went with Katie to do maths. We did some 'guesstimating', oh whoops, I mean probability. Probability is all about working out the chances of something happening.  It goes like this. We used a box of Cadbury Favourites and we 'guesstimated' the chances of pulling out each type of chocolate.  First we had to work out how many chocolates we had in the box, (27) then we had to work out how many types of chocolates there were (there were 11 different types).  From this, we got a percentage of how likely it was to pull that chocolate out.  We all took turns to pull out a chocolate - we did this 50 times. We used the telly marks to say how many times that chocolate type was pulled out.  Then we added up the telly marks and worked out the percentage. To get the percentage we had to double the numbers because we did it 50 times, but we wanted to know what the percentage was. Like three plus three would be six percent. It was really fun!!  Cherry Ripe and Turkish Delight came out a lot more times than we thought it would.  Thank you for reading my blog (Mum and Jason!)

Talent development tasters!!

Tasters mmmm how yum trying all the hot fresh baking [ stick to the subject Lucy]. What I mean is how we did talent development tasters today. There were three choices they were music with Nicola, art with Jenny, or maths with Katie. I did music. We did first some sheets about music while listening to some songs. Next we sang a song called 'My Life Would Suck Without You! Then we went outside and made up a dance to the chorus.  It was crazy! We danced all over the car park!! All together our voices sounded great!! I had a crazy talent tasters!!

Morning drama!

Drama!! No I'm not talking about Enrich, I'm talking about how we did drama this morning. We did three awesome games to help our  thinking, cooperating, team work, speeding up your reaction, and using our listening skills. Here are the games!! First we did the suitcase game, this is how you play. We started with Nicola she told us what she put into the suitcase and the next person would have to say what Nicola put in and say what you put in. When it got to me I had to do six people and myself.I put in a hairbrush.Then we played the hoop game. We all got into a circle and held hands and put two hoops into the circle then we had to get the hoop around the whole circle without it touching the ground and holding hands the whole time. I found it easy because the person I was beside helped me a lot!!! (co-operation)Then we played my favorite one out of the three - musical bumps!! Its like musical chairs but when  the music stops you have to sit down with your legs crossed, last one to sit down will go out of the game. 

I did really well! I had a great morning at Enrich.
