Patterns

Today at Enrich we went for a three hour walk through Queens Park to look at patterns because patterns is our Concept Curriculum for the year.

Rhylee, Matt L, Liam, Lucy, Madison, Mia, Norton and I were in Katie's group.

Rhylee and I were in a pair.

We had too put all the patterns we saw into a section of either B.O.S.S which stands for Beauty, Order, Strength and Survivability.

Here are some of our B.O.S.S's

Beauty: Fish, birds, wood, weaving, ferns, leaves and wall patterns.

Order: Parking meters, yellow road lines, weather patterns, street numbers, traffic lights, speed limit and phone numbers.

Strength: Museum roof, scaffolding, bricks and fence.

Survivability: Man hole lid, shade, NO TRUCKS sign, traffic lights, scaffolding and fish scales.

After Lunch Rotations

Today we did some rotations after lunch. I did the rotation with Nicola.The rotation was making a banner for the Enrich@ILT in the city newspaper.We had to be really creative with our banner because we need it different from the Southland Times and The Express. We also had to put the copyright sign on it so no-one copies you. I did mine all in highlighters and a little bit of pencil.  Nicola is going to choose the best banner.  This newspaper is going to go out twice a year!

THE HARDEST GAME OF YOUR LIFE.

Today at Enrich we played a Wilson game called The hoop game. We had to be in a mixed group of three. Brianna and I had to be in a group with Darryn because when we got to finding a boy there were no more boys. We were going to come first place but we came third. Before we came third we got sooooooooo close to the hoop way to many times it WASN'T funny and I'm being serious. 



You have to hold hands, jump and land at the same time.

Last Day For The Year


Hi everybody.

Today is the last day of Enrich for the year. Yay!!!! School Holidays. But Boo!!!!!! No more Enrich for 
                     SIX WEEKS.

The highlights for me this year were passion time because we have the chance to do what we are really passionate about and my other highlight for this year was before school picks because some of them were challenging and some of them weren’t. 

The minuses were must dos and picks because some of them were REALLY REALLY challenging.

The interesting bit of the year were when Darryn dissected an eyeball.



MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE


Bye

Pig eye dissection

Oink, Oink

Today I saw Darryn dissect a pigs eyeball. We had to name all the parts of the eye ball if we wanted our sheet signed off. He showed us all the parts of an eyeball. The parts of an eyeball are the lens, blind spot, cornea, pupil, iris, retina, tapetum, optic nerve, sclera, vitreus humour and aqueous humour.
Every time Darryn cut the eyeball we got to hold it. The eyeball was very tough to cut. even with a razor blade it was still very tough.
