Self assessment

 Its just 2 more days till the end of term 2!  Today Enrich's Wednesday  group did their self assessment for the end of the term.  I put mine on this page as you can see right under my writing. Today we also played a wilson what you have to do is get all of your team in a hoop the rules are all of your team have to be in the hoop at the same time if not all of your team are in the hoop at the same time you have to start again.  

Angry Bird

Today we are going to send an email to Regan to ask how much the orange cans and the budget cans are for our Angry Bird Canstruction.  Once we have done that we are almost finished!

In the weekend I went to a chess tournament and my team came in ninth.  It was in Dunedin at Dunedin North Intermediate school.  The highlight of my day was playing 6 games of chess! The lowlight was having a bye for one round.

Kowhaiwhai panel

Today some of the class did a Kowhaiwhai panel.  I was one of the people that did one as you can see the picture down below.  The one with the blond hair is me Luca.  We are only allowed to use three colours.  The colours were red,white and black. If you have been to a marae you might have seen Kowhaiwhai but now they're mostly at meeting houses.      

Tournament

It's just two more weeks until the chess tournament.  Today was the last day to play chess to get a place in the Enrich chess team.  I played Clara (who was first on the leaderboard at the beginning of the day), but I lost.  I played Jacob, and I won. I'm currently in 7th place so I've just missed out being in the top 6.  Congratulations to those who can go to the tournament in Dunedin!! It must be exciting to go to a chess tournament.

Chess tournament

In three weeks the top six chess players from each day at Enrich will be going to Dunedin to play in a chess tournament.  I'm currently in seventh place for the Wednesday group. I want to be in sixth, fifth, fourth, third, second or first before the teams are picked.  I have been playing lots of people today but I can't seem to win!  So I'm going to keep trying next week. Remember, don't give up! Keep trying.    

Teacher Comment

Hi Luca.

Wasn’t the trip to the Wearable Arts fabulous today!  There was so many amazing outfits.  I wonder where the artists got their inspiration from.  I think everyone had a favourite - yours being the Second Skin - that one was interesting.  I hear that your Canstruction group is doing a design of an Angry Bird.  I can’t wait to see how that progresses!  Katie.

Museum Art Gallery

Today the class and I went on a field trip.  We went to the Museum/Art Gallery.  We went to see the Wearable Arts display.  There were different outfits on display.  You could watch a clip that showed the different outfits on display during the awards night.  My favourite outfit was one called "Second Skin".
