P4C and Debating

Today at enrich we got split into groups for P4C and Debating. I started in P4C, the subject was the Zax from Dr.Zuess. If you haven't heard it, one Zax walks north and the other walks south, they eventually collide and they are so committed to it that they never walk east or west they stay there for 59 years!!!!!.    Anyway the point was, was that a good kind of pride? or not? we decided that the answer was no, do you agree? After that we went to debating, the subject was: Should we get rid of cats on Stewart Island? We were the affirmative side. Altogether it was a dead tie.

P4C and Debating

Today at enrich we started a new Debating topic, it was: should 18 and younger children be able to make a Facebook account? I was on the negative team and the team members were Sarah , Claire , Hamish  , Robert, Conor and I. The other team won because they had more rebuts. Then we switched over to P4c. The topic was could you place your opinion on something you haven't experienced? We decided the answer was yes. Do you agree?

OE-CAKE!

Today I learnt how to make an OE-CAKE. I learnt many combinations Josh learnt how to make acid I learnt how to make glue and make explosions. I made a timer and then destroy it with Joshs acid.

Biology and Dinoscopes

Today at Enrich we got to choose what we wanted to do out of Art Cartooning with Katie, Chemistry with Jenni or Biology and Dinoscopes with Darryn. I obviously chose Biology with Darryn. We got to take super close photos. I took exactly 20 photos. We took some of our skin. It looks so gross and crusty. I took one of my Southland Stags top it looks like fresh blood.

Here is one of my pictures. It is just pen on my skin but it looks like blood! UUGGHH!!!!!!!

Environment

Today at Enrich we decided what we wanted to do to help the environment.  Me, Josh, Jordan and Max wanted to work together and we all wanted to work on Seaward bush.  We are going to create stoat, weasel and rat traps and also hang up bird feeders and walk around to check if we chase anything.  For my high interest station I made a tessellation.

Technology challenge

Today at Enrich we had to start a technology challenge. We had to launch a shuttlecock the furtherest with only 4 rubber bands, 2 straws, 4 tooth picks, a cup, tin foil and cellotape.  We got sorted into teams, my team was Claire ,Connor ,Hamish and Tara.  We had only 20 minutes to complete it, we made a slingshot but at the last minute it collapsed.  The prize was chocolate. 

Tessellations

Today at Enrich we got to decide what we wanted to choose out of  tessellations with Darryn  
art with Katie or the most popular chemistry with Jenny. I chose tesselations. Tesselations are a sort of pattern that is repeated each time. First you must draw a shape that can be joined on with the same shape every time. Then just repeat it until it is big enough. Here is mine.
