This week we started a new subject for technology. My group has moved into cooking/food. We will be making bread and pasta throughout the term. For the first class, we made a simple loaf of bread to get to know the techniques of making and kneading the dough. It was delicious.
For Numeracy this week, we have been focussing on finding a way to always win a game. the game we had to win was called take 3.
How to play: There are 21 counters and 2 players. each player has a go and can choose to take either 1, 2, or 3 counters. Whoever takes the last counter wins.
I figured out that the way to win every time is to go first and to make the remaining amount of counters a multiple of 4. That way you can always win because no matter how many the other player takes, you can always make it a multiple of 4 again. And when you get to 4, the other player can take away 1, 2, or 3 but cannot get the last counter, so you win.
In Literacy, we have been continuing on with our websites. I finished the layout for my website so now all I have to do is the writing. I have written 2/9 of the texases. We are not allowed to do it in school time anymore because we will be moving onto our next study. Here is a picture of what my Themes page looks like.
See you next time:)
