Science

Today I did science. We had to fill three plates with water and one with coke. In one plate with water we put a teaspoon of raro and in another one with water with a teaspoon of salt.We left one plain. We got another plate and filled it with coke. Then we put half a potato in each with the flat side down.Then we left it for half an hour.At quarter of an hour we checked the potato and the only difference was the smell.When half a hour was finished I checked it and the salt one was a bit squishy . The raro  one turned a bit yellow.The plain water didn't do much it just went a bit soggy like the others and the coke one turned brown and all the coke went flat.I found science interesting with all the changes.

What am I

Today at Enrich I did a "What am I" poem with Mackenzie.  We used the globe as our object.We had 6 clues and made a awesome slideshow for most of the pages. The slideshow was made on keynote. It was fun because Mackenzie knew more about keynote and I got to learn more about it from her.

Talent Development

This term for talent development I am doing narrative writing. I am doing my story in a pair with Destiny. Our story is about two ten year old girls named Gabby and Lilly. They just got their black belt in karate. They take their little brother Benny to the park to celebrate when... a bully steals Benny's bike! The girls have to save the bike. They fight the bully with their excellent karate then go home to celebrate.

The message of this story is don't go out alone.

Hi Hannah.
You worked really well in our writing talent development group today.  You took time to gather your thoughts, and offered your ideas with an example when we looked at the good, the bad and the interesting points of previous winners for our category in the MADE Awards.  You settled into the afternoon well, which was extremely busy with a range of workshops and activities on offer.  You did well in our drama workshop - it was great to see you having a go at all the activities.  The activity "The Hot Seat" proved very popular and gave us a chance to try and be as creative with our answers without saying yes, or no.  Keep up the great effort Hannah.
Katie

Teacher comment

Hannah you have come a long way from your initial nervousness about Enrich to now bouncing in every day and looking for the next challenge. It has been great to see you get used to working outside your comfort zone, deal with being challenged daily and develop the resilience needed to make the most these opportunities. You have certainly enjoyed the art talent development you chose and your individual and group mosaics look amazing.

This term

This term has been very busy. I have been to many different workshops like... Chemistry,P4C, Poetry and many more. This term I did my buzzy bee mosaic for talent development. My favourite things that I have done are my mosaic and chemistry. If I could change one thing I would take away the must do can do sheet.

Chemistry with Katie

Last term I did chemistry with Katie. We used red cabbage water to test if certain household items were an acid or a base.  We got to choose what we wanted to test.  The options were... lemon juice, milk, hand sanitiser, vinegar, baking soda, tomato juice, dish washing liquid or tea.  I chose tea.  If the substance was an acid, the cabbage water would turn PINK.  If the substance was a base, the cabbage water would turn BLUE.  When I tested the tea, it did not change the cabbage water to pink, or blue - it just went a brown colour!  To find out if tea was an acid or a base, I used a piece of litmus paper and compared the colour with the pH Scale.  The litmus paper went GREEN - that means tea is a NEUTRAL, which is probably why we can drink it! It was fun and easy to do.

My mosaic

This is my mosaic .
This be took me 4 weeks to make. For the first few weeks we looked at and learnt about mosaics . The next week we thought of ideas for our mosaics and drew our design.After that we were bashing tiles, sticking them on and grouting . This is my finished project .Making mosaics was really fun.

Mosaics

For the last few weeks I have been working on art talent development which is mosaics.  The first few weeks we were finding out about mosaics.  We watched a video of how to make a mosaic and planned our design. For the last  couple of weeks we have been bashing up tiles for our mosaic pictures and sticking them on with adhesive to our base tile.  So far I am really enjoying mosaic art.   I found the image of this bee on the Internet.  I will update my blog with a photo of my finished mosaic, which is also going to be a bee!  Bee happy!

Gifted Week

This week is Gifted Week. Gifted to me is when you are above average with you abilities and you are talented in different areas.  At Enrich, I get to work with children who are like minded.  They challenge me to do my very best.  I get lots of cool opportunities for different types of learning at Enrich.   

My Poem

Dogs

Some dogs are soft, some dogs are fluffy.

Some dogs are small, some dogs are scruffy.

If they are big, or if they are small,

dogs dogs I just love them all...

BUT the only thing that makes me say "eeww"

is when its my turn to pick up their poo.
By
Hannah


This is my poem.  I wrote this poem because
I did a workshop about
Margaret Mahy.  She is a famous New Zealand author.  
Her work was cool because it all rhymes 
sometimes every line, but sometimes every second line. 

My day

Hi today at enrich I... checked my mail and played a game of chess with Destiny and I won for the first time.After play I went to P4C with Darryn ,we talked about can we lie to ourselves. I think you can lie to yourself because even if you know that's a lie it's still a lie.  It was a hard decision because there were lots of different reasons for both sides. 

My Multiple Intelligences Survey

These are my results to the survey I took a few weeks ago. I got the most on people smart which means I am people smart, I am aware of other people, their feelings and behaviours. It was really fun taking the survey, I am looking forward to understanding more about this as we learn more throughout the year.

Chess

Before I came to Enrich I knew nothing about chess or how to play. Now I know how queens, kings, knights, bishops, rooks and pawns all move.  I can also set up a board correctly with all of the players in the right place. I have learnt what check is as well!
Now that I know how to play chess I can play against other kids and move higher on the leader board!

Tessellation

Hi, this is my seal tessellation made of wavy lines and shapes. Today making this seal tessellation was my favourite thing because I love art. This is a maths activity and an art activity. We made our tessellation's out of checkered paper. We made random shapes and looked to see what it could be, mine looked like a seal. Then when we were happy with our shape we coloured it in. It was really fun.

What I did today at Enrich

Hi today at Enrich I went to Alana's blogging,  Sarah's comic life,  Darryn's p4c and Alana's questioning workshop. At Alarna's blogging we learnt how to change our background. At Sarah's comic life we learnt how to  get onto comic life  and create things on it. At Darryn's p4c we talked about what we would choose out of things like wealth or friendship.  At Alana's questioning we got split into three team's we got one side of an argument and the judging team had to say which side was more convincing.
I enjoyed my day and am now a little bit brain tired. My favourite thing was going to the questioning workshop.
