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.

Last Day At Enrich For The Term

Today I have played chess and done my Key Competency Assessment. 
For Debating and P4C I have marked my self for the beginning stage because I do not share ideas that often. For the thinking one I have marked my self at the at stage because I do not always think and just day dream but I still listen sometimes. I played Connor in chess and I won. He was black and I was white. After that we had morning tea and then we had passion time. I did a science experiment. We used one box of corn flour, a large mixing bowl, a square cake pan, pitcher of water, spoon, gallon size zipper-lock bag, newspaper or a plastic drip cloth to cover the floor, water and food coloring. After we made it we had to research to find out about why it did what it did then we put it into bags and took it home.

Week 10 at Enrich

Today I have played  Piccadilly Circus. The best time with one ball was 57 seconds this week and we bet it. We got 39 seconds. Our strategy was skipping one person and running as fast as we can. Before we got 39 seconds. we got three straight 1 minute and 11 seconds  It was lucky that Luke said that we should try once more. I also played chess with Travis and it was a stalemate but I went easy on him. I was white and Travis was black. After I played Travis I played Max because I still had some time. He was good at chess so I tried as hard as I could but we didn't get to finish the game but I had more points so I reckon I should have won. I also did two science experiments. One of them was a purple cabbage juice one that used test tubes and universal indicator paper. We had to pick if it was acid or basic. Most of them were basic. We used RARO, salt, vinegar, coke and fly spray. That was my day at Enrich.

My day at Enrich

Today I have played a chess game and I played Katie. I lost  by a check mate. Katie didn't even try to check mate me she accidentally did it because she didn't see one of her players. After that we carried on with our Environment project. Our group got together and made another Keynote to pitch to a school to see if they want to take this project over next year. We are going to present our Keynote to the school to explain exactly what needs to be done. After that we had morning tea. after that we did some research about air pollution around the world. Did you know that the least polluted city in the world is WELLINGTON!!! I know pretty amazing isn't it. In Iran, Ahvaz is the most polluted city in the world so don't go there. After that we played a Wilson game and it was hard. We had to stand in a circle and pass a ball around. When you got the ball you passed it to someone else and sit down in their place.  It was hard because you weren't allowed to talk and when we got up to 4 balls, you had to get all of them before you could sit down.

Missing out on Seaward Bush

Today  Connor and I missed out on  Seaward Bush because we had school photos. Apparently  the people that went to Seaward Bush  caught a possum . Everybody was excited about that. Instead of going to Seaward Bush me and Connor made a keynote to convince schools to follow up  the environment  project and put more traps and poison stuff for  predators in Seaward Bush.  After that we had a Wilson game. You had to throw a hackie sack into a hoop.  The first hoop got you three points and the second hoop gave you six points and the third hoop got you nine points and finally the last hoop got you the extra points and got you twelve points.  The score over all in our group got 42 points and the winning team got 81 points.
