Today (5/5/11) we played a maths game to do with probability (Chance) here is a quick description of the game. You gathered three or more players, a dice, a piece of paper & a pen.

First one of the players roll the dice, they can roll it as many times as they like to get a higher number. (Example) I roll a 5 then a 6 then a 2, if i'm still not happy with that number I can carry on rolling. If I roll a 1 my turn is over & I score a zero. I can choose to put my number on the scoring board before I roll a 1. Whoever has the most points at the end wins!

Here are some of the strategies I used for this game: Aim for a certain number & try to get it. Also I used some small numbers at the start & when I got ahead of everyone else I would aim for higher numbers.

Design is a plan of a product or item that is going to be made. It’s the look, feel and purpose of an item. It’s making it stand out from the other similar products.

 Enterprise is the business side of things. Selling and buying of the product, and the growth of the business and the product itself.

 Innovation is thinking creatively and critically, and ‘piggybacking’ on an idea to make it better or more useful.

media type="custom" key="9304748" = Bad Jelly The Witch - Shared Story ... = 1. Keywords that describe Bad Jelly The Witch - Eerie - Gruesome - Uncommon - Screwy - Outcast - Gloomy - Bitter - Murderer - Mental - Lonely - Angry!

2. Bad Jellies actions were unwise, but she didn't realize that what she was doing to the children would give herself harsh consequences.

3. I think that Bad Jelly acted in the **__bad__** way she did was because she had no friends & was an outcast so to get revenge for this she decided to make & eat boy & girl soup!

4. With actions come consequences, here are some of the characters consequences: Tim & Rose: They hopped in Bad Jellies sack & nearly became Boy & Girl soup. Dingle Mouse: He accidentally met the witch & was turned from a Banana to a mouse.

5. Bad Jelly the witch is a flat character because she still wanted to eat the children before she died.

6. Another character that relates to Bad Jelly is the Witches in the Roald Dahl book The Witches!

7. Here is a description of my character so that you would be able to picture Bad Jelly, & underneath is a painting I did on Kidpix of Bad Jelly. Description: She has dark black eyes as dark as the pit of a black hole, old crooked teeth like old wooden fence posts, a big long nose like Pinocchio, a long black dress making the sky go dark, big tall shoes stoping everywhere & a skinny long broomstick dusty, old & bent!

8. If I could add another character to the story it would be a thing that could become invisible & it would save the children from Bad Jelly instead of the giant eagle!
