Bull's eye

Today we played another Wilson game called Bull's eye! The way you play is you are in a group of at least four, four hoola hoops and four bean bags. The way you play is you take turns throwing the bean bag until you get the bean bag in the first hoop. Then you go into the next  hoop until you complete  all the hoops the first group finished wins. Today I played in group two, the funny thing about group two was that we came second! How weird is that?

Today...

HI

I'm back and I'm about to crack an egg. Well I've already cracked a little part of an egg outside to make a egg fly. First I made a parachute and then I decorated an egg then I took it outside and tested it and then it didn't go as planed because it cracked. But don't worry it wasn't fully broken, just a few cracks. Anyway that's what I did today. So just before I leave wish me luck because this is my first time writing the email for the day since the day I first started at Enrich. here is a picture of mine and Cheanna's egg at the top.

Today's new experiment

How are you today? Well I feel like I'm the queen of electricity today because we made our very own light bulb. Yes it was challenging but it was very fun. If you would like to know how to make your own light bulb here is how you do it...

First you will need...

At least 8 or more D sized batteries, a small pie tin, a half cut toilet roll, a empty jar, a spring or a hard pencil led or a soft pencil led, tape and wire with alligator clips on both ends. First you tape all 8 batteries together. Secondly you tape your alligator wire onto the roll, a little tip, make sure that the alligator clips are the same way or it won't work. When your done, you tape the roll and  the wire on the pie tin. After you've finished that you put either a spring, a hard pencil lead or a soft pencil lead in the wired clips, then you carefully put the jar over top of it, then you ask someone if they can push the batteries together. While you put the alligator clips on the ends of the batteries and then that is how you make a light bulb. If you want to make things interesting try and add or take away batteries and see what happens. here is a picture of what mine turned out to  be.

Enjoy making your light bulbs.

Elephant toothpaste

Today here at Enrich we made Elephant Toothpaste! I know super awesome but wait how do you make Elephant Toothpaste. Well... I can't tell you! I know sad, but if I tell you,you might try making it and it's dangerous stuff. It's dangerous stuff because there is a ingredent that is poisonous but don't worry no one got hurt. There were alot of cool mixers of colours involved and one didn't work out well. But I loved the experience and I would like to do it again.

Enviroment project

Today we had to choose our enviroment projects. So as a class we talked to each other about what we wanted to do for our enviroment project. In the end we ended up with to possible projects. 1 was to clean up the Waihopai river and the other one was brightening up Wachner Place. So I decided to brighten up Wachner Place.
