Today at Enrich we were making murals we did them on a piece paper,  we drew and put photos on the paper. We did it to look like we wanted it to if we painted it on a wall. My group did it about all the kiwi icons and food. In the middle we had a pic of the water tower and around it we had Tim Shadbolt, tiki and koro, we also had lots of kiwi words like bro, Invercargill and Southland. I think the best bit was our slogan we did "we've got the paua" way better than our old one Invergiggles don't you  think.

First day back for term 3. Wow 2 terms gone - 2 more to go. Today we did     

see he liked lizards 

a high interest station. I chose to do a tessellations. It all started off with a square grid and some squiggly lines. The pictures and the lines all have to be the same otherwise it won't turn out like it's suppose to. We looked at some photos of tessellations by M C Escher - they we really good. He also did optical illusions. It also appeared that he liked lizards. When I did mine, it looked like a rooster. Some of the rules of a tessellation is the same pattern over and no overlapping.


Here is a link to M C Escher's webpage:

that they really like and we get some time to do it.

I choose clay and made a mask. This is how you do it

2 slap the clay on the board until the air bubbles go away

3 knead the clay until it is about in between 5 and 2 cm thick 

4 put 1 to 2 pages of news paper under it 

5 cut off the extra bits
6 make your design with a blunt blade (do not go right through the clay

7 to join on bits put light crosses on the surface of the clay and the back of the piece of clay

Chess

Hi 
Today we did leaderboard chess. My friend Anna asked me for
a game - I won!! Then she asked to play speed chess. It's so hard! Speed chess is when you use a chess clock and you only have 5 minutes each to complete the game.  We tried to do it but the time made us nervous so we ended up laughing too much, so we didn't get to finish, but it was fun.
