Scared!!!!!

Today we visited the city council chamber and told them our idea for our environment project and we got to sit at a table in front of Darren and Bill the city council people. Since Tim Shadbolt wasn't there Darren took over for him. After that they let us have morning tea there and what we had was muffins and juice. We were the first group to go up and present our keynote at first I felt a bit scared but then I felt a little bit better.     

City Council Preparing

Today the Wednesday our group from Enrich is preparing to go to the city council chambers to present our keynotes for Wachner Place and our group  is all done and ready to go.  This was the last week to get ready for it and next week we're going to be presenting our presentation.  Alana said we might be scared about talking to adults that we don't know, but don't worry if they ask us questions, because they are interested in our ideas.  Every group wants the city council people to say that they can put their idea in Wachner Place.       

Pollution

Today Enrich's Wednesday group watched a video about how we pollute the air and it showed us the ten   most polluted cities in the world. Luckily for us Invercargill isn't one of those cities.  The worst city is Azkah, Iran. In it the city it is completely yellow and you can't see a thing so I think you would be happy that you don't live there. The people there don't realize because they are used to it now and the kids that are born there grow up used to it as well so everyone there is basically used to it.  They might be used to it but that doesn't mean we just could sit around and do nothing about does it?  No, it doesn't, so I suggest you stop playing around and make the future better. This pollution is what we're doing, not them, all of us.

Environment project

Today we did even more of our environment projects and we figured out where we were going put  our ball tilting maze and answered some questions that we thought the City Council would ask.  We're going to hang our ball maze up on a blank bit of wall in Wachner Place. But... before we do it we have to convince the council to go with our plan!

Fibonacci

Today at Enrich the maths group did Fibonacci with spirals. The teacher asked if we know how it was related to Fibonacci and no one could guess why, so the teacher showed us the answer. We drew squares in a clockwise direction with the size of each square following the Fibonacci sequence. The fibonacci sequence goes: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21 and so on.  You find the next number by adding the previous 2 numbers together.  Do you know the fiftieth fibonacci number? Its twelve billion five hundred and eighty six million two hundred and sixty nine thousand and twenty five! 

"Pegasaurus"

Today I played "Pegasaurus" and what you have to do is steal pegs of the other team and you get two points for every one you still have on your back and one point for every one you steal of the other teams back. You have five people on each team and three pegs on each players back. You only get one minute to steal as many pegs as you can. It is a really fun game that also teaches us about strong choices. PS Today is my birthday and I am 8!

Biology

Today I did some biology for our high interest station,like we did last week. But today we did comic life and put our house fly pictures on comic life. After that we emailed it to Darryn and had morning tea. After morning tea we did some p4c and some debating. The topic for the debate was  do you think under eighteen should be able to go on face book. My side was the positive and it was really hard to come up with an idea.
