Snail race (maths probability)

Snail races probability game

the snail race is a probability where you have twelve snails and two dice. lets just say you roll a five and a two that makes a seven so snail number seven get to go up once. The worst snail you could get was number one since you can't get a one on two dice, the best snail you could get was number seven since there are three of ways of getting a seven.
the results on our game were:
ben: snail number 5 : 5 points: 5 matthew: 3 - 7 cath: 1 - 8
matthew: 7 - 5 luukas: 9 - 3 lulu: 6 - 1
after doing the race our teacher told us a trick to what snail wins the most

these are all the possible outcomes for rolling 2 dice, and it turns out that we were wrong,we thought that 6,7,8 were the best ones to role, but really 7 was the best, thanks to that table.

A conversation

Jiaming: Ni hao!
Bide: Ni hao! Ni jiao shen me
Jiaming: Wo jiao wang jiaming. Ni ne?
Bide: Wo jiao bide. Wo shi xin xi lan ren.

In Chinese New Zealand is Xin xi lan. And now I know lots more Chinese.

picasso art

my class, room 20, have been doing some picasso art. picasso was a famous artist who pushed the limits by making self-portraits unrealistic and full of colour.  To start of out picasso art we needed a head shape, some eyes, a nose, a mouth and a hat or necklace if we wanted. no blank spots should be left once you are done and don't forget to use bright colours for your art to stand out.

picasso has taught us that there are no rules to art. later in the year 1973 he had die on the 8th of april at age 91. but he left his art behind which made a dot of colour in the world. he has inspired many people to get into drawing and painting.
