Fibonacci

This morning I went to maths with Alana. We are doing the Fibonacci sequence. The pattern goes like this, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89. I can go further but it would be too long because it never ends. There is an easy way to figure the sequence out and that is to go, 0+1=1 and you add the last two numbers together, its easy for me. Today we have also played a Wilson game called, Bulls Eye. We had to get beanbags into the hoops but in the order of the hoops.

Debating with Katie

This morning, after morning tea I went to Debating with Katie, one of the teachers at enrich. The topic was about if the cats at stewart island should be removed or cats should be allowed to stay. I was in the group of the cats should not be able to stay because they eat the birds. We didn't win the debate against                                         the other group. One of my group members' idea was to get rid of the cats because the birds will get extinct and kids won't learn anything about our native birds.

Art

This morning the Enrich students needed to choose a group. The choices were... art, maths and science. I like to paint so I chose art. We were doing a type of painting called impressionism.  The picture above is a scene from Claude Monet's garden.  He was a famous impressionist painter.  We tried painting a water lily pond today. 

Term 2 assessment

Today enrich did a term 2 assessment sheet. It had all sorts of questions that we had to answer thinking about the whole term.


Today we have also played a Wilson McAskill game.  We got into groups of three and went into a triangle with a hoola hoop at the other side of the room.  We had to jump with little kangaroo jumps and we weren't allowed to take our feet apart.  We talked about how we could feel if we didn't make it, and how it is important to keep on trying.

Teacher comment

Pearl you have settled into enrich really well and are making the most of all the opportunities that are on offer. It is great to see you trying so hard to manage your time and get the most out of your days. Your maths canstruction project looks interesting I can’t wait to see the finished! Keep up the good work

Chess

Every morning of Enrich the first thing we do is play chess. I'm no good at playing chess so I stay on the mat with Darryn for lessons. After we have our lessons we get to challenge someone on the leader board. This morning I challenged Katlyn.  We didn't get to finish the game because the music went off so we had to go down to the mat.  I think I was losing the game!

Colour blending sheets

Last week at Enrich we got given a sheet with colours on it. The three primary colours were Yellow red and blue. There were all other colours and we had to try and make them. Orange was the easiest colour to make because all you had to mix was red and yellow. I didn't get all of them done.
