Last Day Of Enrich

Today is the last day of Enrich for the term I know it's gutting but luckily we finished a lot of fun stuff. Like chess I defended my 7th place spot against Jordan phew.......We also played a Wilson game called "bullseye". But we also had a lot of paperwork like our goal setting for the term and our key competencey. We luckily got some passion time my stone carving is so close to finished Jordan finished his but it snapped in half.

Picadilly Circus

Today at Enrich we played a new Wilson Game called Picadilly Circus. Picadilly Circus is a game that you have to think about strategy. There is one ball in the middle and you have to hand it around the circle but you can't hand it to the person right beside us. The record was 56 seconds  by another class.  Our first 3 turns were all 1.11 minutes, but our 4th was 39 seconds!! Hip hip hooray Thursday!!

Chess

Today at Enrich after the roll we played leader board chess. Before we even started Jake challenged me  I was annoyed but I said "yes".  When the game started after 10 minutes we didn't take out any pieces!!!! Then everybody told us to hurry up, the game finished after about 45 minutes but Jake won by one point. I was so ashamed so I rematched him at lunch and he forfeited so I defended my place in 4th.

Today at Enrich we started the 2nd round of Fibonacci with Alana.  If you don't know what this is it is a complicated system invented by Leonardo Fibonacci it's sequence that goes 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21 it you add the previous number with the 2nd previous to get the answer. There are several ideas for how it was invented. Some think that it is cows because of their breeding process the same with rabbits and bees. But there is a method of a snails shell if you draw out the Fibonacci numbers and put curved lines through them it makes a snail shell.

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.
