Last day for term 3

Today was the final day for term 3 at Enrich. 'Woot, Woot'!.  During chess time Alex, Max, Travis and I were chosen to learn how to use the activtable. We got to choose a character to use. I chose a dog, Max chose a frog, Travis chose a shark and Alex chose a T-rex dinosaur. We then went on to a page where we could do lots of games. Darryn and I played chess, Max and Travis played chess and Alex and our instuctor played chess aswell. The games were all side by side so it looked like we were having a mini chess tournament on the activboard. After morning tea we played the Wilson game called Bulls eye. We played the 'Enrich version' first with 4 hoops. In our version the first hoop is worth 3 points, the second hoop is worth 6 points and so on. My team won in our version. We did 3 rounds. Our scores were 51, 35, 21 and then 18.  After lunchtime we looked at the goals we had set earlier in the year. My 2 goals were to be in a group of people who I have never been with before. My second goal was to put a multi-media file on my blog. I achieved that goal when I put the top 10 most polluted cities video on my blog. I achieved my other goal when I did debating and when we were learning about air pollution.

Chess


Today was week 10 of Enrich for term three. In the morning we had leader board chess. I challenged my friend Marshmallow (Max). At the start, I started with scoholars but it didn't work but I managed to take  his rook and knight in my first four moves. At the end of the game I was winning by one point but I took out Marshmallow's knight just before the music rang. I am now fourth on the chess leaderboard, I am happy and Marshmallow is gutted!

Bullseye (changed)

Today was week 8 of term 3 for Enrich. We played the Wilson game called bullseye but we made a few changes to it. We got put into four groups. There were four hoops in front of us and we had to try throw some beanbags inside them. The first hoop was worth 3 points, the second hoop was worth 6 points and so on. When a team had used up all of their four beanbags the game stopped. The team with the most points won. We had three rounds. I was in team 1. After all three round the scores were 42, 42, 42 and 81. The scores are in the order of the teams.
