My final Day of the Year!!!

I cant believe its the last day of the year. Its gone so fast. Hopefully  the holidays don't  go as fast as the year went. Today we played all or nothing twice. The first one was the practice round and the second one was the big grand finally. My team one but it was pretty close. that means I'm in the top ten at all or nothing for the Thursday group. After that I just cleaned out my desktop. It was pretty messy but its very clean now. Then we had morning tea.  After morning tea . My highlight of the year was when we went to the water tower, Art gallery  and the church. My worst thing was must dos and picks. At the start of the year when we did our first technology challenge we made a Kiwi and that was pretty cool. It was also pretty awesome when we made Elephant toothpaste with Jenny. Enrich this year was awesome!!!

The second day at Enrich

It was an awesome day at Enrich today because the workshops were really fun and awesome. Did you know my uncle was Australian. I think I got my funny Australian accent from him. Anyway I think the coolest thing today was Egg Drop with Alana. It was all about gravity and inertia. Inertia is when something is not moving and it is resting. We had to use a cardboard roll to sit the Egg on. We had also a bit of plastic that sat on a cup with water in it. We placed the egg on the plastic but below the egg there was the cardboard roll. When it was all together we had to smack the plastic and then see if the egg landed in the water or did it crack. It did not crack at all. The reason why it landed in the cup is because when I hit the plastic out from under the egg, for a nano second the egg stayed in a state of inertia, then the gravity pulled it down into the glass because there is gravity on Earth.

My beautiful day at Enrich

Kia Ora 

And hello. Today I have played chess against Max F and I won!!! I am thirteenth on the leaderboard now. Im quite proud of myself now because I have got my place back. I have also done typing practice. I had thirteen mistakes. At least I bet my high score. I have still got two more years at Enrich but sadly for the year sixes they only have three more days.

Kia Ora

Hello. Today there has been a visitor from Sea Shepherd and he was Jake's father. He talked to us about how far away whales can be and still have a conversation . Did you know that whales can have a conversation? One wale can talk to another if one was in the south pole and the other was in the north pole, but that was before all the noise pollution in the oceans. I also did plant biology with Darryn and we looked at the reproductive cycle of flowers and then dissected them and dinoscoped the parts.

Here is a picture of plant cells   

Today at Enrich

Today at Enrich

Today we have played a new Wilson game. It is a bit like Piccadilly Circus but you are only allowed to get one ball once and you are not allowed to talk. Also you can only get one  colour  and then you have to get a different  colour. We did passion time after that and I wrote a story called Daniel. I'm not quite finished yet.  After morning tea we played chess and I played Connor.  We did not get to finish the game but I won in points. After chess we did some must dos and picks. I have done charcoal drawing with Darryn. I also did a wee bit of where in the world. We are doing two sets of must does and picks  today.

Wilson Game

Today we have played a Wilson game and it was the same as last week, "All or Nothing" exactly like last week because I won again. Our hackie sack was the monkey again. At morning tea I played chess with Darryn. 

That was the first game  I've ever played against him and for another fact I got smashed.

When we were doing our Must dos and Picks I did Affective Domain with Alana.  It was about Adora Svitak. She is 12 years old, gifted and was born in America.  She was on a video telling people to listen to kids.  She also said that kids should teach adults things as well. It made me wonder how often adults really do know the answers?

First Week Back

Today we started with our Environment  project. Sadly we can not go to Seaward Bush because we put the traps too close  to the track and people were setting them off. We have to reply to the schools because we sent emails to them to follow up this project next year . This time it's good news. I bet  Violet in chess and I moved up the leader board. After that  we did the Environment but it wasn't about Seaward Bush. It was about sustainability. That means to keep things going. We got put in to  groups of three. I was with Alana. We had to rate  out of five what was the best way to go to school about the social aspect and the Environment,   culture and economics. We also had a technology contest. My partners were Tabbitha and Connor. It was all about Magyver. We had fifteen minutes to build a thing out of newspaper and  cello tape,  paperclips and a plastic bag. We had to stay in  the  box and using what you made and collect the hammer and chisel. That was my day at Enrich.
