Chess
Today at Enrich I started off with a fun game which is called 2 oranges 2 reds and a ball. What you have is that you to start with any one so if you start off with a orange one the next has to be a ball or a red. Your only allowed one of these objects each game, including the ball. Then it was morning tea time. It wasn't so fun at morning tea time since it was raining but thats ok. After morning tea time it was leader board chess. I played one out of my three teachers Darryn. He was black and I was white. It was a very close and fun game but in the end someone had win which was me. Last thing of all my group for passion time is still working on the go-cart. We are really looking forward to driving but it takes alot of work. It has been a exciting day at Enrich!!

Week 3
Today at Enrich I started of with passion which is doing something that you enjoy. Max, Jack and I are inventing things that already have been invented, but we are trying to inprove them. We are trying to make a skateboard go cart. We call it a skate board go cart because it has a seat and a lawn mower motor. Also after that I played chess with my teacher Darryn. He was black and I was white. I won. Last thing of all I designed a garden of a website. I decided to design a garden for an elderly couple. I had to think about making it a relaxing place for them. At the moment there is a party going on in the garden because there are a lot of cars. It has been a great day at Enrich.

Leader board
Today at Enrich was the first week back from the holidays. So far it has been good. To start the day at Enrich we played some leader board chess. As you might know last term on the final day at Enrich I lost at chess to my teacher Alana so she got to move up to the top of the leader board but I challenged Alana at chess today and I bet her so I got to move up to the top of the leader board. So I regain my title at the top of the leader board. Also we learnt what sustain is at Enrich, it means to keep things going also we played an activity which was about what way is best to go to school for the environment, for culture and for social. The best possible answer was to walk to school. It has been a good day at Enrich and I can't wait what's yet to come.

Dinoscope
Today at Enrich my group used a dinoscope. For those of you that don't know what it is, it's a device where you can look at microscopic things. For dinoscope we looked inside a dead fly and a dead moth. Also I looked inside my hair and I've heard if you see head lice in your hair it looks cool with dinoscope. Also I played 2 games of chess today I won both using the 7 move scholar. I played my teacher Jenni and a friend Bruno. It has been a good fun day at Enrich.

Environment
Today at Enrich I met a lady who talked about the environment. Her name was Anastazia and she talked about stoats, rats, mice, weasles, possums and the Waihopai river. Did you the Waihopai river is much dirtier than the Otepuni river. It is because some toilets connect to the river and animals are either dead in the water or walking across the Waihopai river too often and messing it up. Also today at Enrich I played a game with my friends. My team had Jordan, Jack, Travis, Josh, Max and I And the other team had an odd 20 people in the team.

Chess
Today at Enrich I won a game of chess. But this game was a special game because this game was for the top of the chess leader board. Kate was at the top of the leader board for three weeks because she was avoiding me. So I thought it was time to beat her. Also I did passion time with my friend and were doing passion time about rockets. I'm just glad I got to be top of the leader board. But I am really worried that Darryn my teacher will beat me.

Field trip
Second week at Enrich. Today Enrich went to the Art gallery at the Museum. The Art gallery was worth it, it had so much art work that I would not even dream of that. My perspective of the art work was that some art was rubbish and some were brilliant. Most art work was sculptures. MY FAVORITE sculpture was of a preying mantis costume with fabric. The field trip was really fun. Also I finished my scamper with my partner Travis. Scamper is when you have something and you change it by adding something on to it. My scamper was a trundler with a seat on it and a remote control. At lunch I had a good game of dodge ball. At the moment I am third on the chess leader board. It has been good day at ENRICH.

Teacher comment
Luke I really enjoy the challenge of our chess games and I am truly impressed with how far your game has come over the last term or so. You are a lot more organised and settle into your work quicker this year and have learnt a lot about leading by example and working co operatively as well. Overall a great start to the year Luke - Keep it up!

Last week for the term
Last week for Enrich was a very amusing and exiting day at Enrich I will start with the good news, for the game this week we did my game dodge-ball, it was very much like a penalty kick for soccer because there was so much pressure going up to the line and trying to hit some body. Also I played Darryn at chess and in the end we drew. Now the sad news is that on Tuesday a girl was usually on Thursday any way she bet Darryn at chess so now she is at the top of the leader board for chess and on Thursday I tried to beat that girl - Kate, at chess but she went to Tuesday instead of Thursday this week for Enrich. This has been a good and exiting term at Enrich, I can't wait till next term at Enrich!!!!!!!!
Please click on my learning wheel to see what I have learnt and how I feel about that.

ENRICH!!!!
Today at Enrich one of the highlights of the day was that Darryn bet me at CHESS!!! It was a good game and I learnt a lot from that chess game, like to look out for all of my pieces rather than just one part of the board. Also today Enrich did a fun game outside. It was called the blind fold game. There was a caller who gave directions to a blind folded person so that they could find their teams bean bags. It was another fun day at Enrich. Next week at Enrich I hope to beat Darryn at chess.
