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.

Last day for the Term!

Hi, its me again. Today it was the last day for the term. We first started off with a Co-operative game. It was called the No Name game because we haven't named it yet. You had to make a group of 3 people. Your group has to hold hands in a small circle. You will need someone else to yell out "jump". 8 feet away the should be a hoop for your group to get to. The aim of the game is to get all three people into the hoop by jumping at the same time and landing at the same time. The person yelling out "jump" can trick you because you can only jump when they clap. You need to try get your group into the hoop by jumping. BUT if someone in your team touches the rim of the hoop your group has to go back. IF 1 or 2 people land in the hoop your group have  to go back to the start. It is not as easy as you think!.






Key Compency:




Today we had to fill in a key compency sheet. It is our assessment for the term.  We also did a reflection - It was like a review on our term.

Kowhaiwhai patterns

Today before and after morning tea we did Kowhaiwhai patterns for an art project. The reason we were doing it was because it was for symmetry. We had to create a kowhaiwhai pattern on a piece of paper and then draw it on a plank of wood. Then you start painting the picture on the wood with red,black and white.

Chess

Today we played chess to try get into the Southland Otago chess championships. To get into the championships we had to finish in the top 6 placings on the chess leaderboard. I finished 3rd on the leaderboard by beating Connor G in chess time. I won the game by beating him in points. I was also winning from the very start of the game to the very end of the game. Robert just hopped in the top 6 because Jack wasn't able to make the championship. 

Passion time

Today I did passion time with Marshmallow(Max). We changed our scooter design plan. Instead of designing a scooter we are going to make  a scooter. The scooter I'm going to make is going to be red and black. Next fortnight we might have some one from SIT over to help us.This is my scooter plan(above).

Passion time

Today was the first day for passion time. I did scooter design with Marshmallow (Max). We looked at other scooter logos to create our own logos for our own designed scooter. Today I finished the clamp and my scooter logo. My scooter name is CASPER SCOOTERS. My scooter's badge is a smiling demon. Next time we should be creating a set of scooter bars and maybe some grips.  

ANZAC Keynote

Today I did the ANZAC day "Where in the world?" keynote. I had to search the web for some answers to put on the keynote page. Some questions were really hard to find and some were easy to find. Some questions involved World War 1.
