Probability Snail Race

Today in maths we played a probability game called snail race. It is basically a game where you roll 2 dice and add the total of the 2 numbers, then move that number snail. There are 12 snails needed in the game. The results of my game were the following.
Game 1:          Game 2:
1. 10                1. 7
2. 7                  2. 9
3. 6                  3. 3

 My group kept on rolling 7's and I think the reason for that is because 7 has more combinations that you use to create the number, than other numbers. 1 was never rolled once because it can only be made by 1 and 0 but there is no 0 on a dice. If you were to play this game I would recommend you have snail 7 because you can roll them using many different number combinations.

	1	2	3	4	5	6
1	1,1(2)	2,1(3)	1,3(4)	1,4(5)	1,5(6)	1,6(7)
2	2,1(3)	2,2(4)	2,3(5)	2,4(6)	2,5(7)	2,6(8)
3	3,1(4)	3,2(5)	3,3(6)	3,4(7)	3,5(8)	3,6(9)
4	4,1(5)	4,2(6)	4,3(7)	4,4(8)	4,5(9)	4,6(10)
5	5,1(6)	5,2(7)	5,3(8)	5,4(9)	5,5(10)	5,6(11)
6	6,1(7)	6,2(8)	6,3(9)	6,4(10)	6,5(11)	6,6(12)

Today in Mandarin we learnt how to count from 1-40. We also learnt the symbols that go with each of the numbers. Below are some of the numbers we learnt and the actions to go with it:

We also listened and learnt a song about the numbers from 1-10 in Mandarin. Here is the song:

Yoga

Yesterday Room 20 was invited to join a Yoga class. We had to imagine that we were in the jungle,on an adventure. We learnt some yoga poses that represent the animals that we met on our jungle journey. Also we had to row boats and pitch tents, using the Yoga poses as a guide. Pictured below are some photos that were taken of us when we were in our Yoga poses. 

Mandarin

Last week during our Mandarin lesson we learnt how to say where we come from. Today in Mandarin we were learning how to say the members of our family's names. We had to design and create our family tree using Mandarin names only. Pictured below is a family tree made with all the new names we learnt. Also the bottom picture is my family tree. I hope you enjoy. 

Number 1 pet

Last week we learnt how structure a piece of persuasive writing. In small groups we created a persuasive piece of writing about an animal. We had to come up with a intro, a few reasons and a conclusion to back up why we think our animal is the best. My group's animal was the skunk. I hope you enjoy it.
