Out and about in Queens Park...

Whew!!! Today at Enrich, we went on a walk to Queens Park.  This was part of our concept this year - PATTERNS!  I was in Jenni's group.  My partner was Luca.  We had a clipboard with our pattern types on it:  BEAUTY, ORDER, STRENGTH, SURVIVABILITY.  We also had a camera.  We wrote down the patterns we saw, and took photos of them too.  My top 4 patterns for the day are:

Beauty - The roses in the rose garden.
Order - The bricks in Enrich building.
Strength - The hub-caps on the car wheels.
Survivability - The mushrooms growing near the stumpery.

Caine's Arcade!

Today we started the day by watching a video about a boy called Caine.  Caine was from eastern LA and he had to spend a lot of time at his Dad's autoparts shop.  He made a whole games arcade out of cardboard.  His first game was a basketball one.  The first person to play it, was a man who had come to get a handle for his car door.  The man made a movie about Caine, and posted it on the Internet.  Caine is really famous now.  For 5 turns, it would cost $1, but for a Fun Pass, which is 500 turns, you had to pay $2!  Caine likes to build things out of cardbaord, I like to build things out of wood and cardboard as well!  If you want to watch the YouTube clip, here is the link.  Click on this to watch it!
