Ipo the cockatoo

 Today we had a surprise visit from Andrea and her 43-year-old Cockatoo Ipo. Ipo is an omnivore which means he can survive on both plant and animal matter. Cockatoos like Ipo mainly come from Australia and they are a pest over there because they ruin orchards. Cockatoos destroy the whole apple just to eat the seeds inside and they travel in massive flocks so that causes a lot of chaos when they find an orchard. Ipo enjoys helping the kids at the art club, for the kids, Ipo is an inspiration they love painting and drawing him. Ipo and Andrea were both recently on Fanimals. This is the episode he is Ipo Fanimals.


This is me patting Ipo.

D.I.M.I.C Problem solving

 My favorite one was the Scrooge mc duck one. It was really fun to do and I was very close to working it out. The people in my group were Jorgia (me), Cody, Craig and Shylah. My groups one was the 3rd one down. All we had to do to get it right was to take 2 off the 50 dollars and add it to the 10 dollars one and I would have got it. To work this out we used guess and check, we had done multiple different things until the timer went off. We chose the one closest to the answer. If we had more time I think I would have worked out the right answer. We didn't go up so we didn't need to plan rolls but I was writing and when Rachel asked what our numbers were I told her. D.I.M.I.C is very important because it teaches kids the values of working together and also helps us improve our problem solving skills.
