Today at Enrich

Today at Enrich we did a lot of things. First we did a Wilson game. It was called Bullseye,it's when there  are 4 hoops and you are in groups of 5. Then you have to chuck bean bags in the hoop. My group came second. Then we did high interest stations. Conor and I were doing physics. This time we got different things to use to make our parachute. Ours won by a bit, we almost broke the week record! We were 2 points off a second away from breaking it! We used 6 plastic bags,3 balloons,a bit of cardboard, a plastic cup and an egg. We covered the egg up newspaper so it wouldn't break.

Today at Enrich

Today at Enrich I did p4c. It was about pride and compromising. We watched a movie called Zax. We had to decide when was a good time to have lots of pride or not so much pride. I also did debating it was about should all cats be taken off Stewart Island? My team was the affirmative team. The score was was 7-7. I got one point. Conor and I did some more on our environment project, we have planned our brochure and are now getting all of the information and things to go in it.

Today at Enrich

Today at Enrich I did P4C and debating. Debating was the funnest. It was about should under 18 year olds be allowed on Facebook. My group was the positive side. We won 7 and a half to 5 and a half. Then it was P4C and it was about whether or not you can make an opinion on something you haven't tried before. We also had a person from Environment Southland called Tim come in to speak to us. He told us all about the different types of pests like musterlids. They are stoats, ferrets and possums. He also told us whereabouts they live and he showed us some different types of traps.

Today at Enrich.


Today at Enrich I did cartooning with Katie. It was really fun. We did 5'0 the dog, a guy made from a 9, s'man and a lady made from a 4. My favourites were 5'0 and S'man. They were my best. The others turned out really bad. Also today, we decided on our groups for the environment projects. Conor and I are now sending notices to surrounding neighborhoods about Seaward bush and to help prevent feeding the pests. We are also contacting schools to carry on some of our projects because Conor and I are leaving to intermediate next year.

Today at Enrich.


Today at Enrich we had science again. We made an electrical circuit. My groups didn't work, it didn't even make smoke! Also today we got some ideas on an environment project. I am helping Seaward bush by targeting all the pests and replace bushes with kowhai trees or other plants/trees that attract birds. I am sending out notices about the pests and birds at risk and to educate people about them to help Seaward bush. They can cover their compost and stop leaving food scraps and rubbish scraps for the birds because mostly rats and other pests eat it. Other than leaving food scraps on the ground make or buy a bird feeder so birds can get it not pests.
