WHAT DO CHILDREN NEED?
In MAD Hour last week, Asha and Nicole did a proposal about their cardboard robot. They have an idea that the robot can help poor children get what they need.
What do children need? Can you help Asha and Nicole work this out? Then their proposal will be convincing. Watch these two clips to help you work out the answer.
MOTTAINAI
Watch these two clips. Can you work out what Mottainai means? Can you work out the pattern of dance moves in the second clip?

BLOCKY’S QUIZ SHOW
Did you spot the ‘TechFail’ moment in Blocky’s movie? Stormie sad the answer was 1/4. What do you think the question might be? In your comment, tell us as many possible questions as you can think of.
CAPACITY HUNT
What can you find at home which is measured by capacity? Good places to look are the kitchen pantry and the bathroom cupboard. Tell us what you found in your comment, with the name of the items and the measurement.
Feel like a challenge? Make a movie to show what you have discovered.
