Term 3 week 3

Today is the first of August 2012.  We played chess this morning.  I played Caleb and I lost!  Next I did some more tessellations with Darryn.  I kept working on my seal, but I didn't quite get finished.  I enjoyed testing myself because tessellations are hard!  After morning tea we spent some time talking about our environment projects.  We have decided that our group want to work on making Wachner Place more fun.  We want to put a giant chess set there for people to play with.  We might also do a mural because there are blank stone walls there.

Environmet

Today a lady called Anastazia came from Environment Southland  to talk about  the environment, mostly she talked about The Waihopai River and all the dirt and pollution that is getting in to it and how we could help fix it. She also told us about Seaward bush and the pest animals and plants in there and how we could help it if that was what we wanted to do. I want to do something to help clean up the Waihopai River and we have to decide what we are going to do this week and let the teachers know next week.

First day for Term 3

Today is the first day of term three at Enrich. This morning we got to choose what you wanted to do. There were three choices:  Science with Jenny - they made Elephant Toothpaste, Art with Katie - they did painting, or Maths with Darryn - we did tessellations.  When you make tessellations, you need to choose a pattern and you need to join them together so there are no more gaps and you need to choose two different colours for the pictures in your pattern. I chose to draw a seal.  I am probably going to colour it red and green.  I will finish this next week and I will take a photo to show you.

Last Wednesday of term two

Today is the last Wednesday of term two. We have played a Wilson game where you need to get into a hoop with three other people and you need to keep your feet together while you hold hands.  The thing that made it hard, was if you stood on the edge of the hoop or moved the hoop you had to go back to the start! 

Today at Enrich

Today at Enrich in the morning we did talent development.  During morning tea I played dodge ball.  After morning tea we did the Habits of Mind.  Some that we learnt about were striving for accuracy, applying past knowledge to new situations and gathering data through all senses.

Canstruction

Today I am doing canstruction, here is a picture of what I did today.

We have worked out how many of each colour cans we will need.  We still need to find out how much the budget cans and the orange cans are.

Term 1 reflection
