Today was week 5 of Enrich. We did our enviromental projects today. For my enviromental project I was planning to make some bird feeders with Jack, Jordan, Josh and Max N. We wanted our birdhouses to have a shelter so thay can eat and live in them.  The house we might make is the barn with loft because they can eat in the shelter and live inside the loft. For just a house we might use the A-frame.For just a feeder we will probably use the Well House Feeder. We have also learnt what southland birds eat.

Today at Enrich I did a dinoscoping workshop with Darryn.  We had to use dinoscopes to dinoscope flies, parts of our body{hair, fingers}, letters of books and parts of the keyboard. Max and I took lots of photos. A photo we took was a picture of a big orange c. Here is our 'C' photo.

Teacher Comment

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.

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.
