Quick write- Describe this setting 

Poor Hansel and Gretel just got dropped off in the deep dark forest with wolves snarling miles away from them AWOOOOO!!. They went to sleep on 2 tough logs as their beds. In the morning they walked and walked and found a glimpse of light within the horrid rotten trees . "What is that" said Hansel. "Well it might be a house made of candy" said Gretel. They peered from behind a tree hoping no one will see them. There was a white chocolate path with m&ms in it. It had little minty lollies laid on top of it. Little mint lollipops surrounded around the path. The house looked glorious and very delicious. It had licorice, m&ms with waffles as the roof. (Those waffles were waterproof). There were 2 broken trees with no leaves well instead of leaves their were once again mint lollies. The door was made from a slab of the Cadbury milk chocolate. There was a giant red gumball as the doors handle. They went up the sloppy path intimidatingly scared. They reached the top of the path and Hansel had the responsibility to do everything as he was the eldest one. He knocked on the door frightened as his heart races and gets butterflies in his stomach. In his surprise no one answered he was in relief. " Gretel look the door is open we might go inside and see if anyone is inside" said Hansel....

Counting cogs

                    Counting Cogs Reflection

Yesterday and today we were working on an maths activity called "Counting cogs". In my group their was me, Prisha, Taanvi and Charlaye. My group role was the recorder/reporter role. So the recorder/reporter had to record the groups thinking and had to report to the learning coach about what they are doing or a strategy or something they had figured out. Prisha was the questioner/includer, Taanvi was the resource monitor and Charlaye was the facilitator.  The problem that we had to solve was to... Colour in 1 tooth of the cog and see if every gap in the 1 tooth coloured cog can go through each gap of the other cogs. We found that 5 and 7 didn't work because it is times to a odd number. The number's 6 and 8 did work because they times to a even number. So we found that even and odds mattered in this problem.
