First blog post of the year.I'm glad to be back at Enrich this year. We have a new teacher this year and her name is Nicola Lynch. She is lead teacher on Thursday and Fridays,(my day). She is sooo nice.

Our concept curriculum for this year is patterns! We have a good way to remember what different types of patterns are: The word is B.O.S.S.  It stands for Beauty, Order, Strength and Survivability!

Today I played chess against Josh and we played on the big life size chess board. I won :) Now  I am 5th place on the leaderboard! Yippee! I love playing chess. Thats all for this week, until next time bye.

This year at Enrich it has been a great year. I have learned a lot of different things that I didn't know before I came to Enrich!

Hi everybody 

Today at Enrich I painted my clay sculpture. My sculpture is an owl. I painted it red for my base coat then painted the eyes red purple and black. Next I painted the feathers purple and pink and the wings blue. Then I painted the nose and feat aqua blue and around the head green and thats what my owl looks. As you can see I have posted three pictures of my owl below. 
That's all from me today. Until next time bye:)

Passion time

Today at Enrich I finished my practice dress for passion time.

I really enjoyed making my practice dress.

I know only have two weeks left to start and finish my real dress!

save the whales this is a minke whale 

Today we had a man called Grant in to talk to us about an environmental organization called Sea Shepherd.They save whales , penguins , seals and other endangered species.He showed us a slideshow about how his team were saving the species especially whales.They had to chase after some Japanese ships which were trying to catch whales, so Sea Shepherd threw stink bombs at them to slow the Japanese down.The gas from the stink bombs meant they couldn't eat the meat but they could still do scientific research on it.

Today at Enrich we did our must dos and picks.

                                                                                               

I have finished the affective workshop about Adora Svitak, (a 12-year old girl from America who published her first book when she was 6, and now speaks in front of HEAPS of adults), the charcoal landscapes which was an art activity, and the where in the world. The where in the world is when you have to follow clues to find henry the tuatara.

I have just started the landscape design.The landscape design is when you create your a garden for a certain group of people. I haven't done debating yet:) Happy halloween!  Follow this cool link for something spooky!
