Today at Enrich I have done a little bit of photography(which was pretty fun). I also did some more Spanish lessons and we learnt a song/story about a fat whale that wanted to conquer the world by learning to ski, then swim and then clap. I also got better at chess again. :)

Week 3 2012!

Woohoo! It's 2012.

Anyway it's week 3 back at Enrich and I haven't posted since the last week of Enrich last year. On to the real reason for this post. Today we have been doing some taster sessions in which we tried out some different things. Those things were:

-Science, in which we made a vortex in a bottle of water with glitter to see the vortex.

-Maths, where we measured a Lego brick and calculated the amount of bricks in certain shapes.

And finally,

-Art. We simply experimented with water-colour paint to make a sky-to-ground painting with mountains.

Then, just after lunch, I joined a HUGE group of people with Agustin's Mum and she taught us a little bit of Spanish. I am definitely continuing with that group.

See you next time.

24/11/11:

Today in Science with Katie we made two loaves of bread to see the yeast/water reaction. We then made some sherbet and then later on we made hokey pokey. We had bread and hokey pokey for lunch and some of us (not me though), finished our sherbet. I also did the Visual Spatial workshop which was the follow-up to Twice Exceptional.

Bye,

Declan

Hi Declan.

It was great to see you so involved during our first session of science talent development. You enjoyed unpacking the science trolley, and contributed positively to the light sensor experiment that we conducted. You looked at the results, and used them to form excellent points in our group conclusion. You were using scientific language such as light rays, infrared, electrical outlet rather than an "easy" word, which is great to see. Keep up the amazing effort Declan.

Katie.

Cartooning

Today at Enrich I did cartooning. I drew this cartoon whale whilst watching a tutorial. I copied the bear from a cartooning book. My whale is a bit better than the bear because the tutorial had someone telling you what to do instead of just looking at pictures and copying them.

By the way, the pictures came out backwards. The whale is actually saying ''YUM''.

Science

Today we learnt about the Mobius Strip and the Klein bottle. They are two very important things in science because they both join up to each other. The Klein bottle has two self-intersections (When something goes through itself) which is very complicated.
