Term 3, Week 5.

Hi there. Today at Enrich I did some chess in the morning. I played Dylan. When we finished it was a stale-mate.  We did our second round of high interest stations - I did science with Alana.  We made an electrical circuit using batteries, tinfoil pie plates, pieces of cardboard tubing, wires with alligator clips and pencil leads.  We created a light bulb! My group put two leads under the glass bottle and they both glowed! It was really awesome! I figured out that the soft leads glowed and smoked more than the hard leads.

Hi there.  Today I have had a bit of a bump.  When I was playing ball tag, I slipped over on stones and hurt myself in three places.  I got a plaster on my left knee, left elbow and left hip.  My favourite thing that I did today was the high interest station. I did chemistry with Jenni, we made elephant tooth paste.  It is Jenni's last day today.  Next week Alana will be back, we will do an electric circuit with her. generators

Today @ Enrich I helped think of some Environment projects for our group.  We have decided to make the space between our building and the next building better, and more child friendly.  We thought we could paint a mural, and plant a garden and put some tables out so that we can eat out lunch out there.  I would like to paint a mural out in the carpark.  We could put an Enrich sign, a computer, a mouse and two people.  We could also paint a chessboard outside so that we could play chess with our plastic chess pieces outside.

Week 2

Today at Enrich we answered some questions from our graffiti board.  We did a mural design - I worked with Liam.  We put lots of things on it that were to do with Invercargill like the water tower, gumboots and the Waihopai river.  After morning tea we made a thing to launch a shuttlecock.  We are going to judge these soon.  Anastazia from Environment Southland came in to talk to us about the Waihopai river.  The river has lots of mud in it.  So all the things that live in the water  are suffering.  HJUKIUJHJILOMN      HNILPLIUJHYHBFV   

First day back at Enrich

Today we started with a Wilson game.  We played the Hoop game which is when you have to hold hands in your group, stay in a circle and all jump together at the same time.  I was in a group with Liam P, Liam W, Max and I.  After that, I did painting.  Today we tried to paint a lily pond just like Claude Monet.  He painted using a style called impressionism.  You had to do little sideway dabs onto the paper.  The painting was suppose to look messy and blurry.  Our new concept for this term is environment.

Today at Enrich I have done a Ten Sentence Starter reflection about my term at Enrich.

We played a game with hoops.  You have to keep your feet together at all times, then you have to get into a circle with two other people or a partner and you have to jump to the hoop without letting your hands go or taking your feet apart or falling over.  If you do any of those things you have to go back to the start again.  There are three winners. This game was to teach us about focus, self control and persisting.

Today's plan

Today at Enrich I did one of my must dos and it was current affairs with Alana.  We talked about fizzy drinks, and if the government should increase the tax on them.  We talked about how it is hard for your body to digest the sugar in the fizzy drinks.  This is a picture of a fizzy  drink can: 

Have a fun day!
