Animal Rights

Today at Enrich we had must do and picks. I did P.4.C with Katie. Our topic was animal rights and we had to list thing we could not live without like clothes, water, food, shelter and first aid and then we made a list of the things that animals could not live without.  Most of them were the same! Did you know they test pills and and cosmetics on animals? It's pretty sad what humans do to animals!

Week 6

Today at Enrich we did thinkers keys. We had the brainstorming key, ridiculous key and the variation key. The variation key is when you have to change your topic. Our topic was how to communicate with out talking. I had sign language and texting. Then I did the ridiculous key. Our topic was: if there was no shoes! Today was really fun.

POOR WHALES

Today at Enrich we had Grant Meikle from Sea Shepherd come to talk to us about whaling and how Japan is illegally whaling and how they're trying to stop them. Japan is selling humpback whales for one MILLION dollars US each. It was quite sad how the Japanese disobey the limit of whales they are allowed to catch. POOR WHALES.

Today at Enrich we played a Wilson game. It was called 2 orange 2 greens and a ball. You have to pass 5 objects around  the circle with out talking in the sequence e.g. if you started with green you had to get orange next. You also can't get the same thing twice. If you get the ball it does not interrupt the sequence. You sit down when you have had all 5 things. If you are one of the ending people and no-one needs that particular object then you sit in the middle.

Must Dos and Picks

Kiaora,
Today at Enrich we had must do and picks. I started to design a garden for a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) with a pool.  Part of the design is explaining why you have added in what you did. My garden has a heap of different kind of flowers to make it colourful, a deck so that the family has a nice space to hang out together. There were other must dos and picks like debating and where in the world and affective domain.

Here is the link for the gardening planner:

Today at Enrich we did P.4.C. We were split in to three groups and I was with Katie. 

If you don't no what P.4.C is, it's Philosophy  for children. 

Our topic was "Do humans have the right to pollute?" 

 It was interesting how they had glass milk bottles instead of glass .

I enjoyed it  

This is a part of text we looked at.

Being Green

Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags, that we reused for numerous things, most memorable besides household garbage bags, was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our schoolbooks. This was to ensure that public property, (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribblings. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags. 

The 10 most polluted cities in the world!

Today at Enrich we looked at a video on the 10 worst cities with air ploution. There was quite a lot in Iran. In some countries you can't see the stars at night because there is so much smog.Here is some photos of the video!

Hi today we made elephant toothpaste!! 

We mixed hydrogen peroxide, soap, yeast mixed with water and food-colouring. Jenni put the hydrogen peroxide in because she she had gloves on and because if it spilled everything it touched it would turn white!

Do not try this at home!!!!!

Talent development

Hi Today at Enrich we did talent development.  Mr David Russell came to talk to us.  He showed us a heap of photos.  He showed us some of his old cameras - including his very first one!  David gave us some great tips for how to take a great photo - he said make sure you take at least 10 photos from different angles, that way you had lots to choose from.  After that, he gave us some really expensive cameras (made out of cardboard!)  They helped us to find different angles for the same object.  Next week we are going to Queens Park to take lots of photos.
PS - David Russell met Frederick Hundertwasser!!  We are studying him at school at the moment.  He is a famous artist who doesn't like straight lines!!

Hi Ali.

It was great to see you thinking about how to capture an amazing picture on Thursday!  You thought about different techniques, angles and perspectives to capture a range of different pictures.  You are working well with other children, and independently, you are learning to organise your time and prioritise what needs to be achieved within your Must Do and PIck sheet.  Keep up the hard work Ali.  Katie.
