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.

Today I did 3-D drawing at Enrich.  It was about making illusions on the paper. If you didn't know, paper is flat so it wasn't actually a 3-Demensional masterpiece. It doesn't matter anyway, it's the papers fault not ours. So by the way our "flat" drawings did look pretty awesome. Here is my picture.

Today was week 6 out of 11 at Enrich. I did creative writing between morning tea and lunch time. It was very fun. We started off with a game called Rory Story Cubes. It was a game which you roll 9 dices with pictures on them. The picture that show up on the dices you use to make a story. The pictures on the dices don't have to be what they actually are. For example, a compass can be the sun or a snowflake.

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.

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.
