Bye!


Hello.  It's the last day of Enrich, and I'm so excited!  I can't believe it's the end already!!!  Next year I      will be a year 4 then a year 5 and when I'm year 6 I will be leaving!  Enrich for 2012 is finished!  Now  I've only got school to worry about.  No Enrich to worry about.  But who will water the plants??  It's        simply a nightmare to think of my lavender, parsley and mint dying!  Anyway, bye!                                    
"Bye Bye!"

2nd Week

Today at Enrich, we played a Wilson game.  Last time we played a new one called ''All for Nothing'' and this time we played it again.  I was in team 3 and we got 2nd place out of all of it.
  For must do's and picks I went  with Alana to watch a video about this really talented girl named Adora Svitak.  Alana said next time for passion time we choose what we are very passionate about.  And I love writing stories so I should write a book.

First Week Back

First Week Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited!  8 more days at Enrich and then I'd have to survive 2 more weeks until the holidays.
Christmas Holidays!!!
We are busy this week.  Anyway, today Claudia Brianna and me played a new mental edge game called something like 'Shapes Up''.  Something like that.  Then we had a technology challenge.  We had to make this thing out of newspaper, string, cello tape, paperclips and a plastic bag to grab a hammer and a chisel to help us get our feet out of concrete!  And that was basically my day.

End Of Term 3 (Which means I'm Tired).

Today it was the end of term 3.  Come and see what I did today!

This & That

Hi!  Well today we played Picadilly Circus.  It's basically a game where there's a ball ( there can be more balls ) and when you get one of the balls ( from another person )  you give it to someone else.  You can't give it to the person beside you.  The first time we played it ( last week ) I was the last one.  Oh, and I forgot to tell you the last one goes in the middle.  And again I forgot P4C and passion time.  For passion time we were smashing the beginner tiles (for masaics).  And for P4C I never go because usually I have creative writing.  But this time I went!  This time we all did.  But not in the same groups.  Because we were split in three groups. Our question was about being green and if it's ok to pollute? I don't think it's ok to pollute because then we will be harming the Earth and make things die.  OK.  Have to go.  I need the gardening girls!

Pollution

Howdy.  I'm ment to say ''hello'' but it really doesn't matter.  Well anyway, today we went to two              nurseries with Brianna's Mum to look at prices of plants for our environment project.  Just the gardening group went anyway.  Maybe gardening girls.  So some of us 
missed leader board chess.  After that we looked at an air pollution video.                                                    The most polluted city is in Iran.  It's so sad that they live their lives in rubbish and a dump.  But it's    mostly their fault.  And the cleanest city is........                                                                                            
                                                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                            Awesome!                                                            
NEW ZEALAND : WELLINGTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                                                    

YAY!!!  The capital of our country is the cleanest city in the world!  We are green!!!

Week 7

Today I played a chess game with Arnia.  It was fun.  Fun fun fun.  We also went into our environment groups.  I am in the gardening group with Arnia, Christina, Sophie, Brianna and Claudia.Before morning tea, we played an great game of Bull's Eye.  As I said, it was great.  How you play is that you have to be quick and smart. There is 4 (four) hoops.  And 4 thingys that you throw into them.  There is teams.  1st group that gets it in the hoop wins the round!  GREAT!!!

Today...

 Today at Enrich I did creative writing with Darryn.  It was cool!  But before we did that me and a lot of  other people did 3D drawings with Darryn too.  We had to listen, listen, listen and draw draw draw!  We drew 3 boxes and next time we are going to draw another 3 boxes underneath and we will probably shade them.  The Wilson game today was called "Pegasaurus" - you have to try and snatch pegs from the other players.

Teacher Comment


Hi Grace
You did some great cartooning today!  Stu Duval has some very creative ways of making cartoon faces using numbers.  You did well to import your sketches into Kid Pix, and then have a go at manipulating them even more using tools such as the paint pots.  It’s great to see your enthusiasm for your environment project.  I think you girls have made a great plan of attack to get your edible garden up and running in our outdoor space!  I look forward to seeing you make more progress on this next week.  Keep up the great motivation Grace.  Katie

The Cartoons

Today at Enrich I did cartooning with Katie and it was really good fun and I created some pretty cool cartoons by following the steps of an artist called Stu Duvall. We also got to put some of our own ideas in and I did some funny ones in mine.

Here are some of the cartoons I drew - Enjoy!

ZzzZZzZzZ! Your Shocked

Today is the beginning (like always).  Today we didn't do elephant toothpaste this time though.  But 
we did "trying to make a light bulb light up only using tools from the house."  None liup!  Someone only got it to flicker, so that was the best.
Jenni said you could get a big shock, so we put rubber on the alligator clip.
Tomorrow is another day.

Shuttlecock

Today we were doing lots of things.  Everything took a wee while to do for me.  We did murals and I did a windy day.  Also we had to be in a team to build ...well... maybe not machines... stuff that makes shuttle-coks go further.  Hope our group wins!  We were the first group to finish making ours!  There was a bit of a fight...  But the one who gets it the furtherest gets chocolate and wins!  Let ours fling! Let      ours WIN! YAY!!!

End of Term 2

(Sigh).  It's the end of Term 2 and I'm so....tired!  At enrich we did our self assessment and I 

just wanted to rest.  Today for Passion Time I'm going to do a clay pot.  But today I really want 

to do snoozing on a bed.  Our Self Assessment was easy.  But I took a few minutes to finish.

I'm tired out now.  (Yawn).

Good Game

In the morning at Enrich I played Blockus with Lucy and Brianna.  We didn't know who was the winner so we just called it a good game.


 I  finally finished my kowhiwhi panel.  I loved mine.  It looked beautiful because it was made by me.  I asked for a little help but I managed.  I wonder what I'll do for passion time?


Today was fun but I wonder what I'll do tomorrow?

Teacher comment


Grace I was very impressed with the effort and thought that you were putting into all your work last week. You are starting to come to grips with the workload and expectations at enrich and are always quietly determined to get it done as independently as possible. I am impressed with the effort you put into drama and how quickly you get into character.
Great work Grace keep it up!

Learning wheel

Today we did our learning wheels that were our self assessment for term one. We had to say what we felt, what we used, what we learned and more.
Here is my learning wheel if you click on it it will get bigger so you can read it.
 Today at Enrich I finally got to show my new red cast off!!!  I had a  very good chess game.
I like to act so I had to chose drama for my talent development with Darryn and we did some short plays.

My day at Enrich

Today at Enrich I had a very good game of chess with Rhea because we were getting to the end of the game and we were both trying to take each other's kings.

For talent development I chose Drama.  We are going to be doing readers theatre, which is sort of like a play but it's all about using your voice.

During perspectives time I did photography.  We learnt about how to take a worm's eye view, bird's eye view and a close up.  My favourite kind of photo was a worm's eye view.

This photo is a worm's eye view of a light outside, you can even see the spider webs!
