Dry Ice

Today Enrich was awesome! For science we did some experiments with dry ice. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. When  you put dry ice in cold water it bubbles and makes steam!  It's actually the cold bubbles escaping and mixing with the water in the air. When you put hot water in, the dry ice makes lots of fog. If you put liquid soap in, it goes all bubbly. You have to be really careful with dry ice, if you put your finger on it, it hurts a lot. It's so cold it will burn you!

Bye for now !!!

Art gallery

Today at Enrich we went to the art gallery for some of our talent development time.  The reason we went was to look at a range of artwork. We had a look around and chose our favourite piece of art to stand beside and to get a photo. When we got back to Enrich we started on our lino prints.  I have decided to do a dog's face.  It took me a bit of time to get the size of the dog's face right.  Next week, we will have to chisel out all the detail, and then it will be ready to print with.

The Pit

Today at Enrich we did some passion time I did art .It was still life. I only did one picture because I took so long. It was hard. We also had a talk about the pit.

Art with Jenni

Today at Enrich we played some chess. I lost my game against Bruno. We had Passion time/Talent development. For art we had to sketch a funny drawing and it had to be exact. Mine is pretty good. After we did that we finished our apple picture.

Bye for now!!!

First day of term.

Woohoo! Today at Enrich we are doing a technology challenge. It's not until this afternoon, so I don't know what it is going to be. Anyway, this morning, I played chess against Charlie twice and I lost twice! Charlie is now top of the chess leaderboard, so lots of people want to play him so they can get the top spot! I also played Matt L and lost again!!! We did talent development before lunch, and I am doing art. I started my apple painting again. It takes a long time. I still have to paint my plate that the apple is sitting on.

See you next week!!!

Last day of enrich for the term

Today at enrich we started the day with Talent development/passion time. I did art with Darryn. We painted an apple on a plate with a black background, we had to sketch it first. I chose to work on it through morning tea, it felt like I had cramp when I stood up it hurt. 

I learnt that you have to paint the light colours first and that you start with the things that were there first.

See you next week!!! 

My Awesome Day at Enrich

My day at Enrich was awesome!!! It was awesome because we started doing passion time and planning. I'm doing wood carving and starting off easy making a sword. I plan to chase my little brother with it because he's only five and I should be able to catch him.

I loved doing the Wilson game because we came second. I was the last to throw with only two seconds left. I threw it randomly and to my amazement, it got in. My whole group shouted and screamed when it happened.
