    fascinating how our brains can be fooled with the maths behind shapes .Your drawings are very clear and careful and I wonder if you found yourself becoming a little baffled as you were constructing the figures- We like it a great deal and congratulate it on a job well done.I hope to show your work to a friend ,who is a mathematician in Oxford University who is interested in these things.

Coding

By Anonymous -
Hi!☺ I know it's been a while since I last posted anything, so I decided to post about what I've been busy with for the last few AGES.

I don't know about you, but I did something about it.  Me, Gabrielle, Gypsy and Kalissa picked up rubbish at lunch around the whole school for THREE DAYS! We found so many pieces of glad wrap, and chip packets, and muesli bar wrappers in the bush near the stream, near there we also found an orange Mitre 10 shopping bag, which was a bit strange and brought on many questions. A few days after we had finished our quest for rubbish, we got invited to share at our Whakangahau (assembly).  Even the little kids got our message and looked in their lunchbox's  to see all the rubbish!
