Sketching with Darryn

Welcome back and thanks for reading my blog!
"Err" went the sound of my HB pencil. There are different types of pencils. 2H, 6B. This time we were sketching chess pieces onto a piece of thick paper. I choose to draw two pawns, one close up and one further away. We all also learnt to shade in around overtaking places to make it look more realistic, and added on a horizon line through the middle to make it look like it was standing on a table or seat.
I'm not really an artist, but a mathematician and so I think I did a pretty good job!!
Leave a message to tell me what you think - thanks!

Bullseye

Hooray, First time winner, next time? 2 points, now 8, 16... and now 24!!! Woah! "No points for team 3" said Nicola. They had picked up their bean bags before they were tallied! The first hoop was worth 2, next was 4, after as 6 and final was 8. My team was neck and neck with the 1st team. My team was team two with only 6 points!!! Nooooo! Not this time. The fist team had won. Victory wasn't ours! "Team 1 with a total of 56, team 2 with a total of 46. The 3rd team with 27 and 4th team with 6. We had came second. I thought better luck next time. :)

Survivability

Hey, My group learnt about... Survivability! And what it can do. And that linked to our Concept Curriculum (patterns).Even the wild, animals and herds can protect themselves. We had to write down what things can stay alive from their prey. Zebras go in a herd and confuse prey with stripes! Snow tigers and rabbits hide in snow and pounce out to catch and what I call this one is a poo spider which looks like poo but is a spider and it attracts flies and it has some yummy dinner!! So camouflage means blending in with your surroundings. Darryn had Kfc for lunch and he said that it means (K)kids, (F)fattening, (C) centre!

Gross man!!                                                                              Confusing to you!

                                                                                                           

Winner & Loser

Thump!! the ants ran away, "earthquake"!!!

Max's King had fallen over on the checkered chessboard.  Max had given up and put his king down after a series of clash and bash. I was struggling to win against him after all of that. I wiped sweat off my face. "Phew"I said to myself. I shook his hand and carried on. I walked over to Katie with courage and said to her '' I challenge you". Katie was playing Daniel at that time and as soon as I got there the game was over, done and dusted. Katie put both colours (black & white) in behind her  back and I wanted black and I got black. Bits and pieces went and others did too. All I was doing was giving pieces to her.   

"Oh, gosh, not again, really. Two last pieces for me and heaps for Katie. Smash, went my last player, my pawn. She did this and that and these other move. My turn, Stalemate.

Last day at Enrich for the year!!

I come in peace.  Today at Enrich we did everything, joking.  We celebrated with sausages at lunch!!  At the start of the day we played a wilson game called all or nothing.  After the first round we had 9 and were 3rd, on the second round we got 18 and on the third go my group had 38!!  The whole year of Enrich was awesome!!!!!!

What in the world/Chess

G'day mate, between morning tea and lunch we did our "must dos and picks" and I did a pick which was called "What in the world?"  I struggled doing some of them because I typed too many words in the google search box.  I now know that the only mammal in New Zealand is a New Zealand native bat.  And now know not to write that much in google search or else The picture or explanation won't come up!!  After this blogging I'm carrying on with my must dos and pick and I will be doing the egg drop, I think? Bye people

Wilson game

At the start of the day the class played a Wilson game outside called the hoop game.  You had to get into one hoop and then you had to jump out of it and go into the next hoop.  My group (Willie, Matt & I) struggled the first couple of times to get into the hoop but then we did!!  We jumped out and went towards the 2nd hoop when Matt just touched it we had to go back to the 1st hoop and on the second try we did it.  We came 1st.  We almost came 3rd.
