Today at Enrich

Today at Enrich I went out to the stone carving shed and I started to some sand papering on my stone carving of a duck. It is going really well, I am really liking it I think it is so fun and I can not wait to get back on the tools. I need to keep sand papering until it is really smooth, and then I am going to seal it so that it is protected from the weather.  I am going to put my carving in the middle of the paddock when it is duck shooting weekend!!!

Teacher comment

It has been great to see how much more independent you have become as the year has progressed Josh. You did a great job of just getting on with your blog post and getting it done. You are always keen and enthusiastic and willingly take part in any activity on offer at Enrich. You have been making steady progress with your stone carving and it has really started to take shape over the last couple of sessions. Great work Josh. Keep it up!

Today at enrich

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...

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!
