We went to the ................

Splash we heard the waves screaming as we were walking along the beach with cameras around our necks. We were taking photos for the MADE awards. We took lots of photos of forming waves and shells, then we tried jumping off sand dunes and getting action shots. Then we got sidetracked and had to go. We had fun. I took a really pretty photo  that I will show you next week. My mum drove the tiny group of four and she stayed at the beach with us.

UPDATING NEWS: 
Today for talent development Katie, Travis, Norton and I went around the car park to take some practise photos for the MADE awards. Our theme today was 'ordinary objects, extraordinary angles'. It was very fun. There was just simple objects everywhere and we had to try and capture the object from lots of different angles. Below are my five favourite photos. Click them to enlarge them.  Can you guess what they are of?

They are ranked from FAVOURITE to 5th FAVOURITE!


 

MADE Awards...

Today was the first day we got to do either Talent Development or Passion Time. I chose Talent Development with Katie and we're doing the MADE awards which is a national technology competition. Our group has only four children! We're doing a static image and a commercial entry. We are going to the Oreti beach  to take some static images. We spent some time today planning out our commercial, but, we still don't know what the product will be yet. We have got a timeframe worked out so that we keep on track.  I will keep you up to date with our progress next time. 

Queens Park

Today at Enrich we had an action packed day, Walking at Queens Park. It was awesome fun but also way to HOT.  At least it wasn't raining!  The whole point of the trip was because our focus or concept curriculum is "patterns" but I think some people forgot that the focus was patterns. We saw natural and man-made patterns at the bird aviary, We saw beauty, strength, order and survivability patterns everywhere in the park.  I saw a pattern on a tree stump that had recently been cut down.

The new newspaper

ENRICH@ILT IN THE CITY That is the name of the new Enrich newspaper we are starting at Enrich. It will come out twice each year to the Invercargill locals.Yes, one day we will have to be newspaper deliverers. Today we had to design a banner for the front page. Then, Nicola will choose the very, very best. Nicola also said it takes about two months to make a real newspaper, (which we are doing.)  It was very fun. Hopefully we will be able to continue next week.

Drama

"This is so hard!" I thought as I was playing a really fun game. You had to get the hoops around the circle. THUMP!  My hoop hit the ground. "Rhylee, you're out!" yelled Darryn. "Oh no!" I thought. That was the most fun, most confusing game ever. I kind of felt sorry for the people who had to keep going because it was so tiring. That was one of the three drama games we played today. The other two were called 'Musical Bumps' and the other was called 'I packed my bag and in it I put...'

See you next week.
