The Eye

 Today the before school pic was to pull an eye apart on the computer We had to click on what it said to pull it apart.Then we played a Wilson game. We had to get into groups of three and hold hands to make a triangle. The aim: To get into the first hoop and then get into the second first. The rules were: we had to land at the same time, we couldn't touch the hoop, if one of us fell over we had go back to the check point of start. My team came third.

Dodge ball

Today I challenged Kendall in a game of chess and I won, so now I am fifth. At morning tea and lunch we played dodge ball. The other team won six times and my team won four it was hard because they had more room than us. Also we did enviorment project my group only just started making a sign that said kids corner. We put some cartoon planes on and one of them we made into an air New Zealand plane. We also added some helicopters to make it an airport theme. For must dos and picks I did knight's tour and I bet my personal best. Now my personal best is the same as Alana's. 
My personal best is 54. You had to get rid of all the gems just by using the knight but on every move you had to land on a gem.

Sea Shepherd

Today Grant Meikle came in and talked about the Sea Shepherd. He told us that the Japanese came down to Antarctica where they kill whales and take them back to Japan so they can use it as food. But they don't even like to eat whale. They have 1 factory ship and 3 harpoon ships. 
Also today, I have finished my blog we are going to do Must dos and picks.
Here is a video about whale wars:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clI0kmTWKYs

Waihopai river

Today we went down to Waihopai river and we planted some plants, so it would block all the mud that would go down to the river and that would make it heaps cleaner. Kendall and I planted about 13 trees. When we were planting trees Kendall and I kept an eye out for some quartz because Kendall has a collection that he keeps on his window. When we were down there we got some juice to drink. I didn't think it would be very fun but it was, especially how we were helping the enviorment. We were down there for about two hours so when we came back we had lunch straight away. We planted two hundred and fifty plants.

Charcoal

Today at Enrich I learned how to draw mountains with charcoal. My drawing looks effective even though it is just black and white. It smudges really well. For passion time I tried to see how high I could get with the Fibonacci numbers I got up to the first 50 then I ran out of time. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7  8   9  10 11 12   13  14    15    16  17   18      19    20     21     22         23

1st day back

Today we presented our environment project keynote to Chloe. Before she came we did a practise our presentation so when Chloe came we would know what we were going to say. After we presented it to Chloe we had morning tea. At lunch I played soccer my team won 2-1. After lunch we played a Wilson game. Their was four hoops for each team and a basket in the middle of the front, if you got it in you got it in you would bring it back to the 2nd hoop and through it to the person at the front of the line. If they caught it the basket would stay there if they didn't it would go back to the first hoop.

The Adventure movie...

Today at Enrich we did leader board chess. Jackson challenged me and I won. For passion time Jayden, Blake and I made an iMovie about Blake trying to find a video camera. We have only just started to do the movie trailer. Blake is acting as an adventurer. Jayden is acting as a monster, interviewer and a riddle guy. We are just practicing at the moment. We read some facts about comparing the the last generation to our generation about being green. After Darryn read it to us we split  into groups of three and discussed it further.  I thought that I could start using material shopping bags, rather than the plastic ones.
