Hi everybody today at Enrich I painted the alley way mural with Lucy and her nan. The colours we used were yellow, dark green and blue. We started with mixing the blue and yellow to make a nice light green. Darryn went and got us the dark green and some overalls. Next me and Lucy got to work. We painted the bottom bright green then we left a space for the dark green to mix in. Then we painted the pond blue and Lucy's nan started to paint the hills. Next Lucy started to paint some more of the green wall. Lucy's nan said ''the wall is really coming to life now isn't it''. Me and Lucy had great fun painting the wall. Goodbye.

Hello everybody, today at Enrich I started my day off with a Wilson game called 4 red 4 blue and a ball.  We had to get the four reds and blues but here's the twist you can't have the same beanbag twice and you can't have the same colour twice.  After the game we went into passion time. For passion time Christina and I did cartooning.  After morning tea we did chess and I faced Christina and lost the match.  We had must dos and picks My pick was landscape design.

Technology Challenge

Hi everyone today at Enrich I started my day off with a game of chess. In chess I faced Lucy and lost the match. When chess finished we went into our environment projects. In my group we cleaned up the alley way and decided to paint one wall first then the other. After morning tea we had a technology challenge. The challenge was based on MacGyver. In the challenge we had to make a device to get a hammer and chisel because MacGyver (played by one of us) had his feet stuck in some concrete and needed to escape without the bomb going off .

In my environment project we planned what we were going to be doing in our mural by drawing with chalk on the alley way walls then rubbed out the stuff we did not need. After morning tea we watched a video about the environment and what was happening to all the animals that lived in the water that the terrible chemicals were in. When we finished watching the video we played a variation of bulls eye. After bulls eye we decided what we wanted to do for our passion time. I chose painting this week but next week I will be doing mosaics. Then we had lunch and I played outside with Lucy. After blogging I will be doing passion time yay!

Hi everyone today at Enrich I started my day off with a game of chess. In chess I played Christina and lost the game. After chess we planned and sketched our designs of what we were going to be doing for the next few weeks with our Environment project - painting a mural on one of the walls at Enrich. After morning tea we played a new Wilson game called bulls eye. In bulls eye you have to try and get every bean bag in the hoop but heres the twist, the bean bag is not allowed touch the hoop!
 After the Wilson game we went right into our high interest stations. My group was the Fibonacci maths group with Alana. In Fibonacci maths we learnt that rabbits and shells relate to the Fibonacci numbers! The rabbits relate to fibonacci because of their family tree, starting from one pair of rabbits.  Once they are two months old, they can have a pair of rabbits after each month! The number of pairs of rabbits after each month, follows the Fibonacci sequence.

Hi everybody! Today at Enrich I played a game of chess with Arina and I won. After that we had our high interest stations. In science we made a light bulb out of some household objects. The objects were 8 D sized batteries, clear jar, electrical tape, pie pan, cardboard tubing, pencil lead and a pair of red and black alligator clips. The main idea was to get the pencil lead to light up.

Teacher Comment


Hi Norton
I’m pleased you enjoyed the photo editing on citrify.com - it had heaps of cool effects to help enhance your photos.  I really liked the water colour and the pencil sketch technique.  I am looking forward to our experts coming in to help us.  I’m sure they will have lots of great advice for us to help improve our photographing technique.  Spanish looked interesting today - you all seem to be pronouncing the words really well.  Did you ask Paola about her trip back to Argentina?  Katie.

S - Substitute
C - Combine
A - Alter
