Today at Enrich we kicked off the day with some leader board chess. I won both of the games I played and I am 12th on the leader board. Then we played Pegasaurus, in the last round was Darryn and Alana. Darryn was not that good but Alana was great . After that we had a choose out of p4c or debating. The people that had done writing had to do it again. They had to write a story about a memory that's happened in their lives. I wrote about opening weekend of duck shooting .I also went with Katie to make parachutes for eggs .

Today at Enrich we all played a game of chess for about half an hour.  After chess I went straight into my science group with Alana.  We made light bulbs out of:
-  A pie tin
- A jam jar
- Wire
- Alligator clips
- Pencil lead
- Half a toilet roll
- A spring out of a pen
- D sized batteries

You needed 8 batteries - you connected the alligator clips to the batteries, then the other head of the alligator clips held the pencil lead in place.  You could only hold the alligator clips onto the battery for up to 10 seconds because it would blow the pencil lead.

Our group (Hannah H, India and Katie) had success!

Today at enrich we all picked a group I chose the airport group, we are going to ask them if we can make the airport more interesting. Our ideas were to paint a mural , put a chalk board up or make the baggage room more interesting. Also today me and some other people made elephant toothpaste. 

This is elephant toothpaste (cool as) ( I know)

Today at enrich we had a technology challenge we had to make something that stands by its self that you could shoot a shuttlecock out of it but only with one hand, we will judge at the end of the day we also had someone come in and tell us about the Waihopai river and how it is so dirty and muddy. Then we started to talk about seawood bush and pets there and Darryn came out with some ferret, rat and stoat fur.  It was really cool and I enjoyed it.

Today at Enrich we played the Wilson hoop game, then I chose to do panting with Katie. We had to paint a river some tree shadows and lily pads, it was an impressionist painting like Claude Monet. I will be doing this again next week as well so watch this space! We also started our new concept curriculum about environment and we are still doing the tuning in and finding out what we know about environment.

Today at enrich I did a term 2 reflection about all of the things we have worked on over the term.  We played a Wilson game this morning.  What you had to do is hold hands with two other people and you weren't allowed separate your feet when you jump together, otherwise you had to go back to the start, otherwise you had to go back to the start!

Today at enrich I tried really hard to smash the top 6 people on chess  the leader board but it didn't work out the way I planned. Maybe next year??

I also went to a workshop on affective with Darryn where we learnt what Francois Gagne thinks it means to be gifted and I learnt you are born gifted and you can,t go round saying I am awesome because I am  gifted. But if you have done something BIG it mite be ok.
