Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Mandala

Another peaceful day in Enrichville, great master Darryn is teaching again. One quarter of the citizens of Enrichville have come to listen to his new maths-based topic, 'Mandala'. Mandala is a Budhist way of worshipping their gods. They make a Mandala out of sand and when they finish it (which is like a week after they start), they do their worshipping and when it is over, they sweep it up and put the sand in a river as an offering and to spread it around the world.

Above is a traditional budhist mandala made out of sand.

To make a mandala you put a dot in the middle of the page as the "seed". You use shapes and letters to create a masterpiece. But don't think. Only add what comes into your brain first. There is no mistake, and nothing that will make it look better.

Here is the creations I made today:

REMINDER: I USED PENCIL, NOT SAND.

Global Citizenship

Once in Enrichville, great master Darryn was talking to all the boys and girls about global citizenship and about how you can stay safe using online technologies and what happens to all that personal information when you put it into an account, like Animal Jam or Facebook or Yahoo! mail. 

This is what great master Darryn had to say:

Your personal information starts when you are 5 months into birth, lets use Andy as an example name to show you what I mean. Andy gets a photo in his mums belly 5 months into birth. Andy's parents put the image on Facebook, many people screenshot it and put it on more websites, and so on and so on. When Andy is born he gets more and photos taken and a lot of them go onto his parents Facebook page. More photos get screenshotted and put onto more websites. The same happens when and first stands, crawls, walks and talks. When Andy grows up he signs up for Moshi Monsters. He put a lot of personal information he does not need as the required information is put with an asterix beside the question for the information. When Andy grows up he signs up for Amazon where he buys books for studying. He uses his credit card details to buy the books and his address to get his books delivered. He gets married and more and more pictures get copied and emailed. When Andy has a new baby, the same thing goes on again.

Very scary thought, huh?

My Favourite thing in the world

EDITING!!!!!!!!! My favourite thing in the world. It's  when you do something that took you a whole year (very true), you've worked hard on (very true) and then the teacher comes and say's "It's good, but I can't read that part, so add a white space behind the text to make the text a bit clearer.". Ah, The three words, 'Do it again', in a sentence just absolutely makes me, and the whole world furious. So that is why editing is my favourite thing in the world. (Major sarcasm included)

So, it started on a nice peaceful day in Enrichville, Max was working on his passion project, Jake was working on his passion project, Nathan was worki... Nathan was just being Nathan. Well, Jake had FINALLY, after like three weeks, finished EDITING his story (Bobby Jojo and the three sheep), And emailing it to himself, and he had copied all his pages onto his desktop on the computer, and had started moving them into his pages document, which was to be printed, then EDITED AGAIN, and then Jake has to do the boring, yet fun, process over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, and again and again and again and again, until the WHOLE THING is perfect.

Well, where was I yes, and the Darryn comes along and says "I can't read that, you know in comics they have those text boxes, why don't you try that?'' Then Jake's heart sank. He went back to pic collage to do most of the pages and put text boxes in them. If you're wondering what text boxes are they are either what you put text in on a computer or a white space behind te text to make it stand out.

So Jake continued doing that until Max J comes on and goes "Hey, dragon adventures level 6 is done, check it out" so Jake went off to check out Max's game. 

Next fortninght Jake is hoping to finish his book, and not have to do any more editing.

Sometimes things don't go the way they should....

One day, in Enrichville, there was a challenge, for whoever could make the best chair in 40 minutes out of newspaper and masking tape. You were to get into five groups, of five people, with at least one girl in the team. The chair had to hold a wooden frog without collapsing. The team that was going to win was the team with Jake, Max N, Jayden, Hyrum and Isabella.

They got off to a great start, each making beams and Hyrum with the tape in his hand. The beams were made of newspaper, and advertising paper. The team's plan was to make something different, a triangular shaped chair, which they were hoping to get extra credit for the thought put into it. 15 minutes to go when good old cheeky Max J comes along to tell them it is not a chair if it hasn't got a back to lean on. So the team made the back until Max J came along and told them if our chair was wooden and life size, people would pay 50 dollars for it. The team was quite happy with that "compliment" until he said his team's chair would be worth 2 million dollars. The team just smiled and thought, "Yeah, whatever" and just continued building. The team was a bit worried that Max's teams chair was going to be better than theirs, so they sent Jake to go and check out the chairs. He went to the Max's chair and was greeted by Wilson saying his chair was rather more of a "chofa" (a chair and a sofa at the same time). Then Darryn comes over to the chofa and says it looks "chugly". You can figure that one out.

It's judging time and the cruel judges come up. Turns out only four chairs were completed. Three out of four chairs held the frog. It's down to two now. But they chose the OTHER chair! The only reason why is because the other chair is square instead of triangle. But Darryn butts in. He said our chair is more simple and strong, considering the winners chair actually fell apart when the judges lifted it up.

A very weird blog post

Superframers! What does it mean?

Hello, today was week 6 of term 3 for Enrich this year. Today I went to a patterns in art workshop which is going to be running for the next 2 million years (a couple of weeks). We went for a walk in town until we got to SUPERFRAMERS The Bank AND Art Gallery. So... WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?

Superframers is a very cool art gallery where you can buy AND look at artwork. Wow, that's pretty awesome considering only most, or even all of Invercargills art galleries let you do that. WOW. Superframers is one of a kind! Yes, they are, they let you buy things, look at things and they even have a structual piece of art that looks like a windmill made out of 100 year old fence posts. But insted of 1, the have 3! But anyway the idea of this project was to write down on a white  sheet of paper pieces of patterns in art we saw, what we liked and disliked. I even managed to get my hands on a SUPERFRAMERS BUSINESS CARD! You must be so jealous right now but you can see some images af it right here.

AND because this is a special Superframers edition you get TWO FREE random images!
