Talent development tasters

I loved doing art with Darryn. We were making chess pieces and also doing music with Nicola. The music was all about learning how to do all types of notes in music. After we finished the sheet we got to learn this song called My Life Would Suck Without You. Now for Darryn's activity we learnt that there is a saying called 3 dimensions 3 directions. Then we got to use what we learnt and draw some chess men. I drew a bishop and a pawn.

Caines arcade

It all started this morning when Nicola showed us a video about this kid named Caine who made his own arcade out of cardboard. Sadly, he never got customers. Then a man came and tried it out and he thought it was entertaining so he put it on Reddit and facebook, then lots of people from all over the world to check it out. It got daniel and me to make one ourselves it is a game were you have to throw a ball into a tube of cardboard daniel called it catapult.

Fractal maths

Fractals is a maths pattern where the same shape is used over and over in a bigger shape - Broccoli is an example of a fractal so is lightening and rivers and trees!
  When we started we drew a simple triangle then another one on top to make a "Star of David." 
You may think it sounds easy..... well I'm telling you it's not! Not at all! 
And then it goes from hard to really hard!
 Next we had to use a ruler and measure each point of the star into 3rd's then half the middle third. 
Then each of the middle thirds became another point on a smaller star.
 Confused?? Here is a picture of my Koch snowflake.
