Hi Jake

Today was a full on day!  Did you enjoy the technology challenge?  I was impressed with your group work today.  You all listened to each other’s ideas, and worked together to build your launching device!  I also saw the arty side of you today when you worked on your mural idea - the detail that went into your Southland icons was amazing.  I wonder if a mural design might be a project you decide to get involved with starting from next week?  Katie.

Technology challenge

Today was the second day at Enrich for term 3. We did a technology challege. We had to make a shuttlecock launcher.  The launcher could only be operated by only one hand from one member of your group. The people in my group were Pippa, Travis, Stephen and Violet. The materials we got given were straws, tinfoil, cardboard, the insruction sheet{paper}, a plastic cup, some kebab sticks, cellotape and scissors. Our launcher is made out of the cup, kebab sticks and cellotape.

Start of term 3

Today was the first day for term 3 at Enrich. We started off with a Wilson game. The game was the same as last term's game. Like last time, we kept on getting close to the hoop but we'd always make a mistake like jumping when we weren't meant to. 

We also learnt about the enviroment and how people live - this is our new concept for this term. We learnt about the slums of India and where they live. They eat out  of the rubbish from the dump trucks and make small rooms out of whatever they could use or find.
