Animal rights

NNNOOO! This my second last day at Enrich. Does an animal  have rights? If you said no then, why doesn't an animal have rights? If you said yes then, why do you say that? We talked all about this in P4C today. We talked about all of the rights us humans have and we talked about all the rights that an animal has. We talked a little bit about what humans do to animals. Did you know that rabbits are used to test different types of eye cosmetics. The rabbit's eyelids gets pin open and the producer's put the cosmetic in there eye. I know sad right? Do you every go to a pharmacy to get medication? Well most medication is first tested by animals then tested by humans that offer to test that medicine. So animals have rights too, because if I were an animal and got treated that way I would be in pain and angry because nobody would have done anything to stop  what would have happened. So that's what I did today at P4C

LAST CHANGE OF PLANS

NNNNOOOO!!!! There is only two days left for the year. That means that there is only two days left for me as student for Enrich!!! Anyway back to the positive things I have changed my passion time for the last time I can promise you. I bet you animal lovers will like this... I'm making a movie... About endangered White Bengal Tiger's! This morning I was reading some facts about the trade of tiger body parts, awful! I found out that Hong Kong is the main importer of the tiger body parts, accounting nearly half of it's annual business! :( I am really excited for this movie, I just hope that I get it done in time! Wish me luck.

ONE LAST CHANGE OF PLANS!!!

Passion time: A change of plans

Today at Enrich Cheanna and I decided to change our project for passion time from writing songs and writing a play to designing an outfit. We had so many ideas for all these different outfits, unfortunately  we knew we could only do one so we did a hip hop themed outfit. Cheanna and I didn't know where to start so we went online and we looked at what other hip hopper's are wearing and we got an image of what to do but you'll have to wait and see...                          until next week.                                             BYE!

Sea Shepherd

Today at Enrich a man named Grant came in to tell us all about whaling and protecting whales and other sea animals and also about his experience in saving sea animals in the Antarctic. Grant is a part of a group called Sea Shepherd, Grant talked about all of the whales and sea animals that Sea Shepherd has saved and all the whales the Japanese have hunted down and killed in a year. Grant had a lot of things to say and one of those things were about how the Japanese kill the whales, it's very sad. The Japanese put a hook onto the whales with an explosive device  down their mouth to make the whale die and that will make the whale drown in it's own blood, I know sad, BUT, just to make this even worse they shoot the whales to make sure they're dead. The last thing Grant told us was that they stay out at sea for 90 days and sometimes they don't shower for 20 days. YUCK! I couldn't do that! Here is a picture of a Blue Whale

Passion Time

KIA ORA

Today in Passion Time I decided to continue writing and editing my song. Alana (one of my teachers here at Enrich) showed me how to put music to my song. I had a variety of instruments, feelings of music and styles of music to choose from which was very hard. I decided to start off with an instrument, so my first instrument I clicked on was the piano because my song was kind of slow and it was a love song so I thought that was a good idea. So I clicked on the piano button and then a whole bunch of styles of piano popped up and I said to myself, "WOW,This might take a while".  So it seems all of them were AMAZING but I only chose two and used them as the introduction. I moved on to three others but it was very hard because the music or instruments were either too fast or too slow. That got very frustrating trying to find a piece of music that would fit my song just right but it was so hard, all the instruments and styles of music so many choices but nothing would work. Maybe next week I might find something, wish me luck.

Technology Challenge

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!

Today here at Enrich we did another technology challenge. Have you ever heard of a man called MacGyver? Well today our technology challenge was to make a piece of equipment that would help MacGyver grab a hammer and a chisel that is two meters away from him. Most of you might say why doesn't MacGyver just grab the hammer and chisel by himself but MacGyver needs the hammer and chisel to break his way out of some new concrete before the concrete dries up, because MacGyver's feet are in concrete!  So today in class we put ourself into groups of three, my group had Kady Cheanna and Me! Our device was good but it wasn't heavy enough! so we didn't win but it was good fun.
