Open,Close,Open,Close 

This morning we did open and closed questions. A closed question is a question with a one word answer. Here is an example.Hey have you been to the circus? No.  An open question requires a bit more thought and requires a long answer.

We also had to think of ten open questions to use in an interview with a classmate.

Here are my top two questions.

1.What do you want to achieve this year.

2.Can you describe a time when you felt happy and annoyed at the same time.

This was a fun activity, I really enjoyed it.

See you next week!!!!

Chess with Katie

Welcome back to my blog.

Today I went to a rotation with Katie. The rotation was a chess one. We had to play a game of chess with someone we had never played before, but it had to be someone in the group. I had to play Madison. I was off to a good start but Madison kept ruining my plans. We didn't get to finish so we had to check on points. I got a not so proud 5 points and Madison got 35.

See you next week!

Enrich

Today at Enrich Maddison, Samantha and I started with clay on the wheel. To see who went first Marie wrote 1,2,3 on a bit of paper and we picked a bit of paper out of  Marie's  hands.  Samantha got the first turn  and I got second turn. Finally it was my turn. The first couple of steps were to get the wheel spinning then slam the clay in the middle then find the middle and then with the part of  your hand under the palm push the clay in and up. Then curve one hand around the clay without touching it  and with your other hand push your hand over on an angle and then down  and do it three or four times. 

ABSTRACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For art today we did masking tape  art which is a type of abstract art. The pattern is simply lines and shapes, but you could do a colour pattern as well if you were really wanting to make it more challenging!

Here is my finished product, and a photo of us all concentrating hard while we were painting!

I hope you enjoy

Clay 1.0.1

Clay 1.0.1

Yes! Today Norton (my friend), and I started our passion time doing clay. We started out by smashing it against a piece of wood and getting out all the air bubbles. Next we went in to moulding the shape in the clay that we wanted to work with. Norton and I made a face. The next step of the clay face is getting some of the spare clay and making the facial features and attaching them. 
You have to score and join them carefully or they fall off when the clay dries!
