Hi again (sorry about not doing posts for the last 2 weeks)

Today I did maths we did it on a man called Fibonacci. He discovered that if you go like 0+1=1 1+1+2 1+2=3 it looks complicated right its not. All you have to do is add the 2 most recent numbers together like 2+3=5 5+3=8 etc. Now  cows have nothing to do with maths do they? Well it turns out that they do! Well in Fibonacci's way they do. You see a cow can have babies when they are 2 but are pregnant for 1 year! So we did it with dots. We did it in different colors. Our main cow was called Daisy. For the first 2 years it was one baby 3rd year 2, 4th year 3, and so on we did until Daisy was 8. See if you can do it when you
get the hang of it try predicting the amount of cows she will have. We also did spiral shells. It's the same thing really. You start off with a grid then you do 2 small 1 square boxes then you do a 2 by 2 box etc.

Today at Enrich we did high interest stations,  I did science, we made elephant toothpaste. When it works  it looks really cool, it froths up and shoots up to the sky, it just goes on and on until it runs out of froth. We saw lots of videos of different people trying it. It looked so cool. We found that when we did it,  the bigger test tubes did bigger explosions. We put  food colouring in it to make it different colours. We had to choose partners, I chose Anna, we made a purple one.           

HOW TO MAKE ELEPHANT TOOTHPASTE

1. Put 3 tbs of yeast into a measuring cup.
2. Put about 3 dessert spoons of water in the measuring cup.
3. Stir until the yeast has dissolved. 
4.Get some of hydrogen peroxide and fill it up to half.
5. Put soap in any kind you like
6. Put in food colouring, any colouring you like. Only one drop.
7. Then put in the yeast mixture
Good luck!

Do not let the mixture make contact with skin once the hydrogen peroxide is in the mixture

it bleaches on tables (any thing but skin) remember it is poison  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qtX6XgDeDY
