Term four week four

Today at Enrich we got a visitor named Grant from Sea Sheperd which is an organisation that saves whales and tries to get them off ships of people that try and take them. They try by using rope, throwing paint and by throwing stink bombs.
Then I played Kady at chess and........I WON now I'm 12th bottom on the board. Next week I might be higher, well I hope so.
Next we did must dos and picks, I did the chess, it was fun.
After that we did a typing practise. We learnt how to type asdf with out looking at the keyboard, and only using our left hand, it was hard!

Today at Enrich I played a new Wilson game called 4 Reds 4 Blues and a ball. Well, it was meant to be that but it ended up being 1 orange and a ball.  We had to modify the game a lot, because we had a hard time working cooperatively to play the game!
We did passion time.  I am still making a dragon.  Today I was putting the sculpting clay on for it's face.  All i have to put on now with the sculpting clay is to put on the spikes along it's neck.
We played chess. I versed Olivia and I won. Then I versed Madeleine and I won as well.
We did our Must dos and Picks and I did charcoal landscapes with Darryn.  I will go and finish it off now.

Today

Today I learnt about sustainability. It means to keep things going.

Then we went in 3 groups, one group went with Alana one with Katie and one with Darryn. Then we got a sheet per group and we had to write down all the different ways you could get to school and then score each one out of 20 for which was the best way to get to school.  We had to think about cultural sustainability, economic sustainability, environmental sustainability, and social sustainability.

We did a technology challenge based on an episode from MacGyver. We had to make a contraption that would pull some tools towards us with so we could escape from a bed of concrete!  Here is the link to the starting of MacGyver:

City Council last day of term

Today at Enrich we practised our presentation      ( what we were going to say to the Council ) because today after we practised we went to the council. They liked the presentation of what we wanted to do to Wachner Place but if you're wondering I'm not working on Wachner Place I didn't share what I want to do yet but the others did.

Week 10

Today I played chess with Ella-Rose we didn't finish the game so it was a tie.
We did passion time - if you forgot, I'm doing art (sculpting). I'm making a nest with 2 dragons in it. It's going good. I've done my nest and I've almost done my 1st dragon.
We did our environment projects. If you forgot, my group (Clara Jemmimah Olivia and I) are making a video to put in a motel/hotel about AWSOME Invercargill. The bad thing right now about it is it's not done.
Thats all I did to now.
