Science

G'day mate, today at Enrich I did science it was really hilarious because everyone kept getting a shock.We had two groups of 4 and one group of 3. I was with Max, Jacob and Matt. First we had to get  8 d batteries, 3 inch toilet paper roll, a jar (with no lid), a red and black alligator wire ( with rubber on the end for safety, unlike my group did), pencil lid, electrical tape (make sure it is really long), a tinfoil plate, and then you are ready to go. Get the tape and the 8 batteries and tape the batteries together really tight or it won't work. Then get the toilet paper roll the tape and the alligator wire tape the alligator wire to the toilet paper roll and make sure that is tight as well. After put the toilet paper roll (with the alligator wire attached to it) on the tinfoil plate, then put the pencil lead in the alligators connection bit, after put the jar over the toilet paper roll (that is on the tinfoil plate) to make it stay still and then put the alligator bit (that is not taped to the toilet paper roll) so it is touching the batteries the red one on the left side of the batteries and the black one on the right side of the batteries and don't take the black or red wire off the batteries or it won't work. Then wait for the magic to happen!

Mural sketch

G'day, today at Enrich I sketched a mural about Southland. It was really fun and easy because we didn't have to colour it fully in instead we only had to scribble it in carefully. I worked with Matt and Max we started off with drawing the water tower. While I was drawing the water tower Matt was searching up Southland icons for us to copy and Max was drawing the flax bushes and trees. After I drew the mountains I drew three mountains.When I finished I moved on to drawing the river that went from the sea behind the water tower and up a mountain it got skinnier and skinnier and skinnier as it went up the mountain. Afterwards I drew the sand to make the sea more detailed Max coloured it in.Then I drew the museum that Max also coloured in. And then we had no time left and we presented it to the class. But at playtime Max and Matt added extra detail so it had no more white spaces. So Max drew the McDonald's and KFC and Enrich. And Matt drew the umbrella and the bricks that had Max, Matt and Eddie on them. And thats how we made this piece of art.

Science Chemistry

Hello, today at Enrich I made elephant toothpaste I really enjoyed it it looked really cool. It was exciting when we put the yeast in the cylinder. I will know tell you how we made the elephant toothpaste, these are the things you will need a cylinder,
one cup,soap, flowing soap, yeast, food colouring, hydrogen peroxide, hot water and then you are ready to go. First put the hydrogen peroxide in the cylinder and half full it. and then put some flowing soap in it to make it bubbly put about three squirts in. Afterwards put the soap in to cause even more bubbles.After the soap put the food colour in the cylinder and what ever colour you put in the toothpaste it will turn in to. When you have done that put one and a half teaspoons of yeast in the cup and put the hot water in as well and stir really well. When you are ready pour the cup into the cylinder and stand back and watch the fun.

Self Assessment

G'day, today at Enrich I completed  a self reflection that we do that is based on term 2 these are some sentence starters that we used,what we liked this term ,  what we didn't like this term, what we want to achieve in term 3 and a lot of different sentance starters. We also did a self assessment sheet  about what standard we are at for blog posting. You can click on the sheet so you can read it.

Habits Of Mind

Today at Enrich, I learn't eight more of the habits of mind. They were thinking flexibly, questioning and posing problems, thinking about your thinking (metacognition), persisting, thinking and communicating with clarity and precision, remaining open to continuous learning, creating, imagining and innovating. The habits of minds are all about different ways to think.

Current Affiars

Today at Enrich, I did current affiars with Alana. At current affiars we talked about the soft drinks and if the government should increase the tax on them. We talked about why do soft drinks have so much sugar  in them and we talked about could the shops get shut down because people won't buy things if they are too expensive. We made a mind map about  how much tax we are paying to the Government . We did Current  affairs because we had finished all the calculations on our smurf so we did current affairs.

Kowhaiwhai Patterns

Today at Enrich, I contuined on with my  kowhaiwhai pattern it was really hard but I really liked it. I did a boomerang type of thing it is really cool. I enjoyed doing every bit of it. The only thing that was really hard it is that we had to scribble it on to the board. But it was all really worth it.










This turned into this!!!
