Term 2 Reflection

It's that time of year again. Yes, it's the end of a term at Enrich. Following tradition, here is a reflection sheet.
We also played a Wilson game. We had to hold hands in a group of three and kangaroo jump to the hoop ONLY when Darryn clapped. It was a hard game and only three teams got to the hoop. The point of the game was to learn Self-Control so you don't jump when he doesn't clap. Looking forward to next term to see what adventures will come about.

Static Images

Today I had a great day. First of all in the photography group we chose our static image entry for the MADE Awards. If we did that early we got to go on PhotoFunia and make some more photos. I made this diploma for the University Of Awesomeness. Afterwards we worked on the Habits of Mind with the class and then I went on to Spanish with Paola. We did some fun things and in one of them we were given a name and had to make a code with the alphabet. We then used the code to put a number with each letter of the name. The name I got was Antonio and I ended up as a 101 year old.

Editing Mania

Today we did some very fun editing on photofunia.com were you can put your photo on an FBI Identification Keycard or give yourself an awesome motorbike. Later on I green screened myself into a SWAT Squad. I also finished off my Tapa cloth which is a traditional Pacific Island originated form of art. It involves drawing patterns on brown paper and scrunching it up a decent few times and then you dye it dark brown and it gives it a traditional look.

Queen's Park Adventure

Today at Enrich the Photography group headed to Queen's Park to take some photos. I took some cool photos of such things as a plane flying over and some worm views of a tree. We saw some pretty strange things at the park and I almost made friends with a duck. After the Park adventure we did some green-screening back at Enrich. Later on in the day we played some cool games for Spanish with Paola.

Skydiving!

Today was a good day at Enrich with me accomplishing some cool tasks. First of all I did some extreme editing in the photography group by making myself skydive(Picture above). Later on in Passion Time I drew some sketches showing what materials go on which parts of the armour. I am looking forward to photography next week because we are going to Queen's Park for some photos.

8/5/12

Today was an awesome day at Enrich. For a start we started Passion Time. I did some more work on my designs and they are looking cool. In the photography group we talked to Rachael Kelly who is a photographer here in Invercargill. She showed us her cameras including her new Canon 5D Mk3 which only came out a few months ago. She also gave us tips and took photos of us.

1/5/12

Today was a great day at Enrich. In photography we explored www.citrify.com where we had lots of fun adding wigs and using Obamify. We later on headed to the Wearable Arts exhibition at the museum. When we were there we saw some truly amazing outfits that were made from all kinds of materials including wood! My favourite was the suit of armor made by someone who worked on the Lord of the Rings movies. That inspired me to make my own, which I could do during Passion Time. Passion Time is like the Passion Projects we have done in previous years except with less time and we have to completely manage our time ourselves. Looking forward to photography next week.

Declan.
