Week 10

Today at Enrich we started off as normal and we played some chess. I did not move up or down the leader-board. We continued with our passion time. I did some chemistry with Kavarn. We started making our ice cream ball. We got the idea for it off Steve Spangler Science.  You had to put some ice in a plastic bag, then put some rock salt in as well.  In a separate bag you put in milk and vanilla essence and 2 tablespoons of sugar.  YOu put it on the ground, and then roll it around until the milk mixture goes solid.  We put it in the freezer and will check on it shortly.  After that we had a break.  We did some more passion time for another half an hour then we did a P4C rotation in 3 groups.  Our question today was "It it ever okay to pollute?" We had lunch after that and now I am doing my blog and next I am finishing my environment project with Kyle.  Today we are finishing our brochure for Thompson's Bush.

Week 9

Today at 9.15am we played chess for 30 minutes.  I played Kyle and he won.  Then we did our environment projects.  My group finished our Keynote about Thomson's Bush.  I did a page on the predators you need to look out for.  After morning tea, we watched a clip about air pollution.  We learnt that Iran has quite a few cities that have a lot of air pollution.  Ulaan Bataar in Mongolia  is the second most polluted city in the world.  The cleanest city in the world is Wellington!  We were surprised that we have the cleanest city in the world!  We looked it up on the computer, and it said that China had the most CO2 pollution, but they were not included in the clip we watched about the 10 most polluted cities in the world.  We played a Wilson game after lunch called Piccadilly Circus.  You stood in a circle and we had to pass a ball around the circle by running to another person and giving it to them.  You couldn't give it to the person right beside you, or else you would have to start again.  Once you got the ball, and gave it to another person, you sat down.  We tried playing it with 1 ball - our time was 1.08min.  We played it with 2 balls - our time was 1.35min.  Then we played it with 4 balls and our time was 2.02min.  We tried a second round with 4 balls, but we all got muddled!  Now that I'm finished my blog, I can go onto passion time.  I am going to do some painting.
