Today Enrich has been busy as usual. During the day I went to an affective domain workshop.It was about a girl called Adora Svitak. We watched a clip of a big speech that she made to a massive audience of adults. She was talking about how adults say that childrens ideas are too silly, when they are often more creative because children don't really think about barriers, like it costs too much, or its too hard. She was only nine when she made the speech, and when she was six she even published her own book. It was really inspiring to see a child do something like that.

First day of term!!!!!!!!

HI!!! Today at Enrich was a lot of fun. We worked on our enviroment projects, and then presented them, plus then we had to do some paperwork, but then we played a game. It was called All or Nothing. You need: 8+ hoops, 2+ bins, 2+ teams of equal sizes and 2+ balls / small beanbags. You need put the hoops into lines of four, with a bin in the first hoop. You then give the first person in each line a ball. The aim of the game was to get the basket to the last hoop by getting the ball into the basket, which scored you one point. If you got it in you moved the basket back one hoop and threw the ball to the next person in line from behind the basket. If they caught it, then you scored one point. But there was a catch. If the person in line didn't catch the ball, the basket got moved back to the first hoop. The group that gets their basket to the last hoop, and throws it back to the person in line successfully, they win. If no one manages it, the group with the most points wins. It took us a long time, but one group finally got to the end. Today has been a very busy day, but it's been fun too.

Enrich

Today at Enrich has been busy. In the morning we played leaderboard chess, and then had some passion time. After passion time was break, and then we had a look at a piece of writing to do with being green. It was basically about how young people criticise people of older generations of not looking after the planet and doing the "green thing. But people of the older generation also didn't have all of the things we had today. They walked to school everyday.  They didn't drive the two blocks to the supermarket. It was kind of sad. Then we did P4C and blogging! Today was the last day of Enrich for the term, and then I only have one term left!
Which is also kind of sad!

Today at Enrich I have had a pretty fun day. We have played chess, looked at air pollution, worked on our enviroment projects, and played Piccadilly Circus. To play Piccadilly Circus you need a decent number of people, otherwise it isn't that fun. You also need a few balls and (optional) a stopwatch. You need to be in a circle. The rules of the game are that you need to be pass the balls around in the circle, and when you get the ball you sit down. However, you can't pass the ball to people on your immediate left or right. We first started with one ball, and it took us 1 minute and 8 seconds to finish. then we did it again and tried to shave 20 seconds off of our time, but we only got to 57 seconds. Then we started adding balls, and it was even more complicated. It took a lot of brainpower, but it was fun.

3D Drawing

Today at Enrich we had high interest stations again. I was in 3D Drawing with Darryn. 3D Drawing is an illusion because you are drawing something to make it look like it is a 3D image. One of the things that make it easy to draw 3D images is to remember that 3D not only stands for three dimensional, but three directional. It was hard at first beause I wasn't sure how it was going to work but at the end I was pretty confident I knew how to do it. Today we also played bulls eye (a wilson game) and worked on our enviroment projects. This is my drawing:

Today at Enrich we continued the high interest stations that we did last week. Last week I was in biology which was looking at ordinary things throught the dinoscopes, and this week we turned them into comic life pages. First we had to crop them because we didn't want the whole desktop in our photos. Then we had to open up comic life and put the photos in. After that came speech bubbles and colour, and we had a comic! It was heaps of fun, and I like how mine turned out.

Biology

Today at Enrich I have had a lot of fun! Today we had high interest stations again. There was biology, which was looking through the dinoscopes at intersting things, like flies, or even our own skin! There was also art, cartooning or science, chemistry. I chose biology and I am glad that I chose it. It was very cool, because we got really close up images, but it was also really gross! It was suprising how interesting things as simple as hair look through the dinoscope. Can you guess what these images are of?
