Tessellations

Last week I did a workshop with Darryn and we were learning about tessellations.

 It can be cats

Tessellations are pictures that fit together like this :

it can be fish and birds.
It can be anything as long as it fits together.                               The tessellation I made was   I made a cat. 
I had to remember, no gaps and no overlaps.

bullying

Today Sarah did a work shop for bullying.
We had to write down two to four ideas on what to do if you or someone else gets bullied.
I think if you see someone getting bullied or picked on you should go and help them out.
Once we had writen down the ideas we had to sort them out in which group they would go into. pink : caring, orange : emergencies. brown :figuring it out and others too. The shoes are called action shoes and they were created by Edward De Bono. Each shoe has a colour and an action to go with it which is how we sorted our thinking.

Today's Game

Every day at enrich at 9:10 a.m we have a cooperative game. Today Katie and Alex are organizing the game. We played terminator/ maths tag. Terminator is where there are 1-3 people who call out questions. The rest of the kids/players find a space to stand around the room. If you know the answer to the question you put your hands up, if you get it right you take a step and try to tag someone. If you get it wrong you sit down and you're out. If someone tags you you're out and have to sit down. The winner is the last one standing. I thought the game was pretty cool although I did get poked in the eye when I was tagged.
