Mandala

Today we made some Mandalas I know what your thinking how can you make Nelson Mandela but I mean Mandala the ancient Buddhist art. It is an art where you just let your mind flow and there is no such thing as a mistake - that was music to my ears. You start with a seed then link it off like a flower it is a very addictive art. You can do it with a pencil, pen,vivid and even sand. It is a mathematical art when I first heard it I thought how could maths be art? Be the I realised that all the lines have to be the same but just like I said there are no mistakes, unless you make one line bigger than the other. Then you just make up for it next time.  The Buddhist's made it out of coloured sand that they gathered from all the 4 corners of the world. Every single Mandala has a different meaning and I doubt you can make two the same.

Technology

Today the most exiting thing happened!!!! Not really but anyway today we learnt about how to keep yourself safe using technology. We learnt about keeping our persona safe and what's appropriate to post and what is not. Nicola who was our teacher for this segment. She told us about this website where it has clips and games that show you about the result of posting to much private or personal information. She also informed us about the creeps that live out there and how they to take advantage of people. So now we know the minuses of posting to much online.
