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.
