Riverwalk with Room 8


     Room 8 went on a riverwalk along the banks of the mighty                                                        Waikato River.


We walked across the Victoria Bridge which is an arch, vehicle and pedestrian bridge made of steel.

                                 We stopped to sketch it.
We waved to the train crossing the Claudelands Rail Bridge and the           watched the traffic flowing across the bridge beside it.

 Finally we admired the beautiful Fairfield bridge. It is a tied arch                                     bridge made of concrete.

                                 We were exhausted!

The Language of Probability



There are 7 red blocks
There are 4 blue blocks
There are 2 yellow blocks

It is most likely I will draw a red block from the bag
It is unlikely I will draw a yellow block
It is possible I will draw a blue block
It is impossible I will draw a green block
I cannot be certain of which colour I will draw out of the bag
