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.

Hi Declan,

You were very thoughtful during talent development this week, making some great observations of the previous MADE award winners. I'm looking forward to getting our own documentaries under way!

Term 3

It is now term 3 at Enrich and we have started talent development. I chose documentary and we started researching what a documentary needs. We also started using the new Must do, Can do sheet. It is a piece of paper we stick in our workbook and as we get things done we get them signed off and we have to get at least 7 out of 9.

Teacher Comment

Declan.

Well done on your term at Enrich. Your passion project was well organised and you made good use of experts to benefit your video. You are a quiet, well mannered class member who has maintained and made new friendships. It is great to see you helping the new students when they are unsure of something. Your time management is great - you use your time at Enrich wisely to benefit your learning. Keep up the great effort Declan. I am looking forward to another busy term with you.

Katie.

2 stars and a wish

Today it was the last day at Enrich for the term and we had to do 2 stars and a wish. The stars are 2 things that we like about this term and the wish is what we want next term. My first star is that I really liked to make the earthquake safety video because I got to go to the Civil Defence and work with my friends. My second star is that I really liked the current events about tornadoes in the US because I am really interested in tornadoes and it gave me time to explain exactly how a tornado is formed. My wish is that next term I can manage my time better and not waste it on the internet.

7/7/11

Today at Enrich Thomas, Kieran and I completed most of the earthquake safety video. So far we are just editing it in iMovie HD and we have made a song and credits. We hope to finish it soon to get it on our blogs.
