Epic Day at Enrich. Please read on......

EPIC       HEY!!!!!

I've had the awesomest day yet of the week (and all the other records of the week; It's just the start of the week anyway).  So I think I've got one rebus correct out of the few on the whiteboard.  Do you want to see it?  Okay here it is:

There are two ducks in front of two ducks.
There are two ducks behind two ducks.
There are two duck in between two ducks.
How many ducks are there?

I think.....


Two ducks in front, two ducks behind would equal four ducks.  Then in between.....  That wouldn't make sense.  Maybe there's ten ducks or eight or six....  I think there's six.

That was only part of my day.  You should of seen brain boosters with Paul.  It was so cool.  I love tangrams.  We made all these animals and people out of:

Two small triangles
A mediam triangle
Two big triangles
A square
A paralaragram

All laminated.  You might also need a sheet to tell you what shapes you need.

I still think the answer is six.  I'll tell you later......

EPIC       BYE!!!!!

Discovery

Hi.....  Again.  Although I do have exciting news...  Our new topic is........  DISCOVERY!!!  Yeah.  Discovery.  And we HAVE NOT started passion project yet.  But yes, I am doing clay this year (again).  Last week, we didn't do a post.  We were too busy.  We have got some cool activities to go.  We are doing this very cool thing around discovery...  Immersion Discovery.  There are ten activities but you only have to do eight.  Four last week, four this week.  They are planted all around the classroom.  But that's still to come.  
Today, we learned the difference between open questions and closed questions. Open questions require a bit of thought and usually a long answer. Closed questions have a simple one word answer.   we had to conduct an interview with a buddy and eventually develop a biography of them. I interviewed Violet and this was one of the ten questions I asked her:  If time didn't matter, what period of time would you be in?                      
I look forward to you seeing my post next week.

I'm back!!

Welcome back!!!!

I didn't get enough time for a post last week. I'm here now!  We have got a new teacher called Paul.  I can't wait to get my passion project up and running. Yes, thats right, I'm doing pottery again.  Today we did brain boosters.  I was doing wuzzles (word puzzles) with Nicola this time. We did it last week to.  It was super hard.  I got 3/12, and those were all the ones that Nicola gave clues for!  Next we did thinking keys.  I got to do it with Paul.  We got to do the invention key.  I can't wait to get my clay pots home!

Fortune Dice

  To-clay I still remember what Jenny told me last week (she said to keep it secret but here's a clue: It was about my affective study!)

  Also, I did some clay (as always).  This week, I made a fortune dice.  You ask a question, and then you roll.  The things on my dice says stuff like keep dreaming, forget it, do it, roll again and other stuff like that.

  I can't wait for writing 201 (101 for me!)  I look at all the other stories and I think, if I entered the MADE awards I would have some competition.

 
Merry Christmas (soon!)                                            (Alexander the  
                                                                                     Great)

I got revenge

To-clay I just finished my affective study.  It looks so awesome now and plus I've added heaps of these on-click transitions.  I played it a couple of times so I could see the wonder that is my keynote.

  I have joined Nicola's writing 201 group for the patterns workshop.  Even though I haven't been in it before she said she could have some newbies.  So I've joined.  The writing was my first choice and theirs a lot of girls.

Plus, I got revenge. (on my sister, but that's a secret!)  Bye!

Digital Citizenship

To-clay I did some pottery as always.  I made a gift to give my teacher for the end of the year.  I also made a cute love heart shaped bowl with an arrow in the heart lid.  I think I will use it for my earrings.

  I also learnt about digital citizenship.  On simple terms, it's internet safety.  I was with Nicola's group.  I found out that your fingerprint starts even before you are born.  Also that it continues even when your dead.  Your fingerprint starts and ends way before and after your lifetime.  It is not safe to over-share, or anything else that will give you a bad reputation.

Bye!

Underglaze for my pots of clay!

Today I underglazed my pots.  Especially the rock.  Lots of people called it painting.  Even the ones doing clay!  In Term 3 people started realising that pottery was really cool.  So their getting Marie in to help next week.  A chance to get my pots kilned!!

Today I also did some more abstract art with Katie.  Today, we did masking tape art, which helps create a pattern of shapes and lines.  Here is a photo of me and my art:
