Patterns

Want to know what our universal concept is for the year? Patience, patience, and keep reading.
Our Concept Curriculum for the year (our universal concept) is... wait, I need to yawn.
Ooaaaaaaahh. Okay, so where was I again? Oh, yeah. Our universal concept for the year is Patterns. You know. The oh-so-lovely flower-patterned wallpaper in your house. The stripes on your mutant pet zebra. The spots on your mutant pet cheetah. Patterns.

The four categories...

I'm going to tell you a story. Once upon a time these dudes came along and said that patterns were sorted into four categories; Beauty, Strength, Survivability, and... darn it, I need to yawn again. Sorry, got no sleep last night. Ooaaaaaaaahh. So, beauty, order, strength and survivability. BOSS for short. Things created to generate those four things. Remember, they've got to relate to patterns. Can you think of any? If you can, then leave a comment telling me what they are, because I've got like zero comments on this blog. My mum left me one, my teacher at school left me one, and my teachers at Enrich post comments, since they have my details, and they can get into my account. Anyway, pur-lease leave a comment, even if you can't think of anything created to generate beauty, strength, survivability or order. Until next time, bye. 

I am...

I am... who am I? Yes, I am Isabella, but no, that's not the answer. Does 'Isabella' sum up everything about yours truly? Ooooh no. No, there's a lot more to me than 'Isabella'!

Well, if 'Isabella' isn't the answer, then what is? Want to know? Do ya? Do ya!

I'm not telling you.

Hah! Seriously, though, I'm not going to tell you. That sheet of paper titled 'I am...' is top-secret. Classified. For the eyes of nobody. The only one who knows EXACTLY what's on it is moi. And the teachers, but they haven't read it yet, so I really AM the only one who knows! 

So if I'm not going to tell you, what's the point of this blog post? Well, I'll tell you how the sheet was set out, and the purpose.

OK, so if you can imagine an A4 sheet of paper. You're looking at it portrait-style. At the top are the words, 'I am...' Then there is a list. The first thing on the list is... drumroll, please... 'I am'. Then a massive long line of dots, and that's where you write your answer. I wrote - 

NOT TELLING!

Next on the list is 'I wonder'. Then more dots. Then, 'I value.' and then - well, you get the general idea about the dots. The rest is:

I want, I fear, I am (two qualities), I pretend, I feel, I worry, I cry, I admire, I believe, I dream, I try, I hope, and then, once more, 'I am'. 

Some of these questions are REALLY personal, so basically we were pouring our hearts out onto that bit of paper. For this reason, if you wanted your bit of paper to be classified, (which I did) then all you had to do was put an asterisk beside your name at the top. I think pretty much everyone did that! 

Well, until next time, farewell.
