The unheared story of Goldolocks and the 3 bears

Today was week 6 for Enrich,  term 4. In the            morning we did passion time. For passion time I     am writing a story called "The unheared story of    Goldilocks and the 3 bears". It is also in "kiwi"       version wich means it contains New Zeland things  like kiwifruit and pine wood. The story is about      when Goldilocks' Mother is out and Goldilocks      runs out of kiwifruit. She is hungry so she looks     for some kiwi fruit. That is all I'm up to  at the        moment. Peace out and and have a nice day!

Hurricane Sandy

Today was week 5 for term 4 at enrich. Between morning tea and lunch we had must dos and picks. First for must dos and  picks I did the Hurricane Sandy must do workshop. Hurricane Sandy is a massive Hurricane that has hit New York area over in America. At the workshop we watched a video of Hurricane Sandy. Then we discussed what we felt about it, what were the good things about it, what were the bad things, what could be the solutions, and what we were thinking about. We thought one of the good things was for President Obama because when the Hurricane came, he went over to New York to help the people there. The good thing for him was that some more people might of voted for him because they thought he would help if there was another natural disaster.

Spinning Matchstick

Today was the last day for our must dos and picks. Also, if you have been keeping up to date with the weeks of the school terms, you should also know that this is week 3 out of 8 for term 4 at Enrich. Well, back to the must dos and picks. One of the picks I did today was a science experiment called The Spinning Matchstick. I did the experiment with my friend Travis. First we had to balance a one dollar coin on a twenty cence coin. After we needed to balance the match stick on top of the one dollar coin. Next we had to cover the coins and matchstick with a see-through plastic cup. Once we had done that we rubbed a blown up balloon on the carpet to create static electricity. We then circled the cup with the balloon which made the matchstick spin. You are probably wondering why the matchstick spun. This is  why. When we rubbed the ballon on a course surface we gave the balloon additional electrons which made a static charge. The balloon repells the electrons from the matchstick because it has too many electrons but it doesn't have enough protons so it tries to attract the matchsticks protons which makes the matchstick spin.
