On the behalf of Elly, Troy, Ebony, Suzanne, Charlotte, James and I we'd like to wish all the Poutama Team a wonderful Christmas break!  Thank you for making 2014 an amazing year! Dear Year 6s, don't be a stranger! Make sure you come in and say hello whenever you're able.  Merry Christmas everyone and a happy new year!

Think of something and 20Q will read your mind by asking a few simple questions. The object you think of should be something that most people would know about, but not a proper noun or a specific person, place, or thing.  http://www.20q.net/ 

Now have a go yourself! Google search something on your device, buddy up with someone and play 20Q to see if they can guess what it is using the questioning techniques that 20Q uses.
