Probability Lockdown Work

Today in our google meet we were talking about Probability and chance. So we had a tally chart and we flicked a heads or tail coin to see who won the coin toss. I was heads and my friend David was tails. We were tossing the coin until we had done it 20 times. I got 12 and david got 8, we recorded this data to see the difference and see why did heads appear more often. 

Thank you and blog you later.

Tennis Report

 How have the rules of tennis changed?




Tennis is a huge sport these days and the rules of Tennis have changed over time. The new rules of Tennis have dramatically changed and made Tennis gameplay better. The rules are Implied for the safety of the players. 


Some rules are good and other I think otherwise. We head back to 1873, Walter Wingfield created the sport Lawn Tennis. The rules were simple and not as complex as the current rules. One rule I strongly agree with would be keeping the ball in bounds of the certain court. To make gameplay a lot more fun of trying to keep it in the white lines. Another thing in Tennis that made a huge impact is the raquet. The raquetis an oval shaped bat that you use to whack the ball to the opposing plyer. Before hand players would use the palm of their hand to pass the ball to the other person. The advantage of the raquet would be length of the handle gives you more range to hit the ball and more control as you can hit the ball with both sides of the raquet. I like the current rule of bouncing the ball before serving because you can time your hit and get more power when you hit it. I found that the previous rule is you could throw it and serve it.

In conclusion of my question, I believe that the rules of tennis have changed for the safety of the Players and to make the gameplay of Tennis more entertaining. 

I hope this report was interesting and you learnt some new things!

Miraitowa The Tokyo Olympic Mascot!

 Hello today I have a DLO on the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Mascot Miraitowa. I will not be talking about Someity in this blog post which is the other mascot of this current olympic.







Miraitowa is the Mascot for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. It was designed by the Artist Ryo Taniguchi after 2,042 applications were submitted for approval. The Tokyo Organising Committee reviewed each design and picked the top 3 for elementary Japanese students to decide the winner. 


Miraitowa has the ability to teleport to places instantly. Miraitowa’s name has the combination of Japanese words meaning “Future” (Mirai) “Eternity” (Towa). Miraitowa represents the Tokyo Olympics will lead to the future of everlasting hope in the hearts of the world.


The patterns on the robot are similar to the Ichimatsu pattern it also represents

the culture of Japan with it being also a Samurai helmet.


I hope you got some understanding behind Miratowa and some interesting facts

about the mascot.
