Today at Enrich we went to Wachner Place for our Environment concept curriculum. We had to think about what we could change about it. We could change the colours,  put new things in it or take things out. Some of the many ideas were to put a  giant chess set, brighter colours, picnic tables, rose garden and murals!

     

Hi everyone,

Today at enrich we made electrically circuits. We used batteries, wire, alligator clips, toilet roll, pie tins, tape, pencil leads and a jar. We used these things to make light. Two groups out of three succeeded, including mine. Firstly we taped the 8 batteries together. Next we tied alligator clips on the wire. Then we taped the wire to the toilet roll. Next we put that into the pie tin and put the pencil led in it. Then put the jar on top of it. Next put the other clips onto each side of the batteries and there should be light!

Hi everyone! Today at Enrich we designed murals. We had pieces of paper that had Southland icon on them. On my groups we had the water tower in the middle with Henry the tuatara sticking his head out the window. We also had the Waihopai river with some trout in it. We also had sheep, stag, kiwi, Takahe and many more. Then we coloured it in. It was so fun. :)

Goodbye for now:)

Today has been an exciting day at Enrich because we made ELEPHANT TOOTHPASTE. The materials we used were dish washing liquid, food colouring, yeast (to make it rise), hot water, gloves, beakers, spoons to mix and hydrogen peroxide. First we put the hydrogen peroxide in a test tube. Then we added the food colouring and mixed it. Next add the dish washing liquid. In the beaker put a tea spoon of yeast in it along with 3 table spoons of hot water and mix. Next pour the yeast into the test tube and TA-DA. They look amazing when they are finished.

Today at Enrich we did a term 2 2012 reflection. 

Here is a picture of mine. It will tell you how I think I have done at enrich so far this year. The thing I have liked best this term has been passion time. I have been working on writing my own book.

Enjoy!

Photography!

Today at photography we did our static image. We also learnt to use a new editing software called photofunia. It is so fun!!! You can do so much things like put your self in backgrounds such as money,billboards and many more.Here are some of my photos.    

Tapa cloths!

Today at Enrich we did tapa cloths. A tapa cloth is a Pacific island cloth with marine life and plant life on it. It takes a lot of scrunching to make it feel and look like a cloth. Mine has jellyfish, turtles and flowers on it.First we had to plan it. Then do it in pencil. Then go over it in vivid. Scrunch and then dye.
