Seaward bush

Today some of us went to Seaward bush with Tim and put some wax tags out. We also planted one trap. It was quite hash to watch. Tim said that they can catch weasels,stoats,ferrets and possums. I found a rotten old peace of wood and stood on it and squished it. I also saw a possum home and that stank alot. I blocked it off though. We put some stuff on the wax tags and it was orange and it smelt gross.

Teacher email

Wow Bruno
 I was really impressed with the quality of your writing during the writers workshop today!
You did a great job of engaging your audience and you used some really great language to help us share your experience. You also did really well to persevere and problem solve when you had trouble getting your blog post done. Alana told me you were really engaged with building an electrical circuit and a light bulb and you and your group were successful so well done and keep up the good work.

Elephant toothpaste

Today I had the funniest time in my life because I made  Elephant Toothpaste. My buddy was Alex and we made our elephant toothpaste red. I forgot to tell you one important thing. Elephant toothpaste is  not toothpaste for elephants. Its a big toothpaste and the reason why it is called toothpaste is because it is big. Ours was the best.

A busy day

Today we had the roll at first and I said ga'day mate. Then we picked who did the blog post for the class and we picked Jordan and Luke. After that we  played  some chess because we hadn't done it for a while. I played Tabbitha and sadly I lost but it was quite close. I did a bit of painting and the style I used was called impressionism.  The technique you use is called: tache. That is a french word for "touch". The colours I used was yellow,red,brown,blue and white. I painted a pond with some lily pads on it and flowers on the lily pads. The thing I like about it is because it doesnt always have to be perfect. The tache is when you dab it and don't do big brush strokes. After that we discussed our environment projects and I was working as a group. My buddy was Connor. We were planning to do mural on the wall here at enrich all about Southland.

The technology challenge

Today we have been asked to do a challenge and Im telling you it's quite a challenge. We had to make a badminton shuttlecock fly using a cup, some straws, a little few of skewers and some tape and rubber bands.My group was Izzy, Jordan and Jemma. We got twenty minutes to do this. That went fast. We had a total freak out and I think where going to lose because our device might not stay together.  We are going to judge these at the end of the day.

My day at Enrich

Tonight we are having a sharing night here at Enrich. I'm probably going to go. We played some chess today and I played Alana twice, but sadly I lost both games but I improved in my last game. For talent development, I went on the computer and I made a minion out of cans on ActivInspire.  The colours I used were black, blue and yellow.  We did 7 new Habits of Mind:
Persisting - that means sticking to it.
Asking questions and posing problems.
Thinking about thinking - that means choosing strategies to figure stuff out.
Thinking flexibly - that means thinking outside the box.
Communicating with clarity and precision - that means saying what you mean.
Remaining open to continuous learning.
Creating, imagining and innovating means thinking up new ideas.
