Decorating muffins with patterns

Decorating muffins with patterns

WALT: Study in algebra

Yesterday room 8 were having a competition with decorating the best muffin but we only had 10 minutes to create a pattern. My pattern was banana,orange,banana,orange and a fruit loop on top. I found this easy because I knew what pattern I was going to do, but mine didn’t get picked because it wasn’t creative. Miss Donaldson choose 5 outstanding patterns. Then Nick had to choose the best one out of the 5 and the outstanding muffin was Ketura’s. The next thing I want to learn is perimeter and area.

The Motivated Walkers

 This Tuesday afternoon room 8 had a visitor to talk about our goals and what we want to achieve. The visitors were some of the people that went to walk to 80 km in under 24 hours to raise money for our school,St Pius and Literacy  for adults and amazingly they raised $4,600. Dreydon,Kate and Tony are their names. Dreydon was the only one out of them four that walked to 80 km but Tony and Kate were the supervisors. He also had a presentation planned for us to watch and he explained every detail.

During the presentation there were some photos of their walk and he was talking about his experience and what was going on while they were walking. A few people dropped out after a few hours because they couldn’t walk any longer or they had an injury. We came to a slide with questions about what our goals are and what we are going to do to achieve them so Dreydon gave us a few minutes to discuss with a partner. He even showed us their goal that they managed to achieve.   

We were getting to the slides about safety and what they would need to have while walking. The things they needed was a camel back bag with a drinking tube connected to their bag, also some snacks in their side pockets and the middle part. They also needed some comfortable shoes for walking in the mud and uneven surfaces, there were two other important supplies a head torch for when it gets dark and a beacon for the rescue helicopter if anyone got hurt.

It came to the end of the presentation with a picture of the whole group. The great news was that 3 people completed the 80km walk in 23 hours. Dreydon also mentioned a lady that had a broken finger and her doctor told her to rest but she didn’t listen. She was also the only female that completed the 80 km walk, she also got a award.

In this game I had to put the number in order to make a pattern. I found this very easy because the numbers went up in 1's then 2's but they are small numbers, I even did it to the max. Next I was to do patterns with bigger numbers.
