Chess and Art

Today at Enrich we did art. It was fun because we learnt a new trick about painting. At first it was hard but then it got easy, very easy. We had to do the water up and down and the lily pads side to side. My favourite part was doing the water. I liked doing the water because it was the really easy.

Also this morning I played Chess against Matt. We played a game and I won but our 2nd game we couldn't finish it because the music went on. So we had to go down to the mat. My favourite part of the day was doing Chess because I like doing Chess. The top six is James, Eddie, Thomas, Libby, Meg, Max.

Enrich

Today at Enrich we talked about people throwing rubbish on the ground, not in the rubbish bin. This is bad for the environment. There should be a punishment for people who do it. There should be more rubbish bins and most of the new ones should be re-cylcing bins. We are thinking about making a garden where the rubbish bins are out the back on the path between two buildings. 

Chess against Rhea.

Today in chess I played Rhea and it was my first time playing her and I won. Rhea was white and I was black so it was pretty fair. I like to move my knight first and she likes to move one of her pawns first against someone above her. I am  still 12th on the chess leader board and she is still 17th on the leader board.


We did the last 8 habits of mind.  My favourite one is Persisting becuase I like the action, and it is also my goal at school!  My next favourite is Striving for Accuracy which means you are aiming for a target.  I like this one because it is one of the actions in my dance at school.

Chess.

Today in chess I played Jacob and did best out of three. I won 3-0. In one game I won with out touching my Queen.There was a unlucky game for Jacob because he nearly got me check mate but then I got him checkmate. I am 12th on the leader board and Jacob is 13th.

Canstruction

Today for Canstruction, we used Google Sketch Up.  Were were making a Smurf face.  The reason we are doing a Smurf face is because the whole Smurf would be too big.  Google Sketch Up helps us to create our design so that we know how many cans and layers of cans we are going to need.  Here is a picture of my sketch:

Stone Carving and Chess

Today I did stone carving and I am making a koru.  We all are nearly done. Jacob's is a rook, Libby's is a sheep and Thomas's is a koru like mine.

In chess I played Ali and we did best out of 3, I won 2-1.  Then I played Brianna but we couldn't finish our game.  It's looking like I am going to win!

Learning wheel

Today we did a learning wheel which is my thoughts and feelings about term one at Enrich. It was fun. My  favorite section was the "I used" one, because I used lots of things in term one. I liked the little man on the top right corner of the paper. He looked like he was running.
