Moving to Russia in 2 seconds

Well I'm moving to Russia in 2 seconds. How is this possible? Well on google maps it is today with Jenni I did maping.  



We used the ipads to explore  the world. I was looking for Australia but ended up in the Pacific Islands then I typed in Russia and within 2 seconds I was in Russia .

We learnt how to read maps and what the different colours on maps mean. Green is parks and forests. Brown is the contour lines that show how hilly the landscape is . Blue is the sea, rivers and lakes. Black was man made structures.

Ps: Sorry for no posts lately

Oh no my train!

Aw man, my train is in the ditch again. Oh well....back to the drawing board.

Oh hi, hope you weren't on that train. Well today Jenni showed us some great learning apps for  I pad/pod/phone. Three were to publish work and two were educational multi-math and simple physics.

In multi-math you have to put the right amount of fingers on the right buttons. Now for the best app - simple physics. You have to build these metal structures to support their needs.

Tasty drama

"Right, now make a sandwich". Well, it certainly was not a tasty sandwich, unless you like the taste of Thomas, Jacob, Clara, Tara and I in a human sandwich! After morning tea we did some spatial drama activities. One of them was called '10 Second Objects'. In your group, you had to make whatever object Nicola called out.  These were the things we had to make:
1 - A sandwich
2 - A fire
3 - A clock
4 - A breakfast

What your favourite...?

What's your favourite food? Mine is mandarin. Well today for MADE Awards, we filmed a practice  movie. I paired up with Jackson to film Neave and Natasha completing an interview. First Neave and Natasha filmed us. We each had to prepare 5-6 questions earlier. Jackson asked "What's your favourite food?" I said "Mandarins". Then, I asked Jackson the same question and he said sushi. All this was to practice using the video cameras, as well as using different camera angles like close ups and long shots. By the way, we are now doing a kids sceince documentary so I'm Professer Kyle from now until the end of term three.

The Pit was made to trip everyone up in life and ruin your day But! Today we learnt how to get out of the pit. Things that can put you in the pit is to be tired, angry, stressed, nervous or confused and here are ways to get out.... talk about it, go to your teacher, don't give up and ask for help. Now you know how to get out of The Pit !

Chess the final frontier

Chess can finally be called an action packed game! NOT ! It was a long chess session Darryn vs me to the death (not really, well to the death of our kings). I unleashed the Queen she actually lasted longer than I thought. 

Until da da da, Darryn's  knight took out her R.I.P your highness on the bright side I killed his Queen first. In the end I lost my kingdom was destroyed.

This was part of the advanced chess session I went to this morning.  The chess tournament is coming up - it's held in Dunedin.  Only the top 5-6 players of each Enrich day can go.

 Hi its me again - our progress on our documentary is growing.  Neave, Natasha and I have planned it most of it already.  Right have to go - making a documentary. All right people 3 2 1 action!
