IT'S A GREEN VOLCANO

Yes, yes,yes. A green volcano. But it doesn't really matter what colour it is. Today for science we did about five dry ice experiments. One of them was about seeing water freeze on a spoon, another was making our own dry ice volcano like thing, and another one was to see what the difference was when you put dry ice in hot water and when you put dry ice in cold water. I'm not saying the rest.

My highlight of the science today was....

Getting to make my OWN dry ice volcano thing.

Today was funny and ICY!

Dry Ice Fun - Cool Science Experiments

The Art Gallery and the Lino Print

My favourite paintings

Why I like the birds: Because how it is all bright colours and I think it has a 3D effect.
Why I like the horses: Because a)  I LOVE HORSES. and b) The way the horses are leaning over looks as though it's a hot day and they need a rest.
Why I like the house: Because of the way the grass leads the way into the house. Also the house has an effect that makes it look 3D.

"Amazing, amazing. I wish I could do that", was the first thing I thought/said as I walked through the doors of an art gallery today.
"How can they do that?"  I thought again. We walked to the art gallery on Don Street because we needed to look at real artist's artwork. My three favourite ones ( as you can see up the top) are: the one with the horses, the one with the house, and the one with the birds.

The refreshing, cold breeze on the way back to Enrich wasn't very inviting. As soon as we got back we got ideas for our lino print. A lino print is basically just a big stamp. My one is going to be an owl. I picked an owl because I LOVE them!

How About a Healthy Snack?

'Hmmm'. Do you want a healthy snack? Well your not getting one from me. Why? Because I don't have a healthy snack. Well I sort of do. I've got one on a piece of paper. You wouldn't eat paper. Would you? OK now to what I'm supposed to be writing about. The rain poured down the windows of the Enrich building. Nice and snug inside it was Talent Development time. For Talent Development today we drew.......  I'm not telling. Read on to find out. As I was saying (typing) we had to draw something today. We drew a still life drawing of a........ healthy snack. And in that snack was: A red pepper, a green pepper, an onion, and two courgettes.















My Picture

I reckon it was hard to draw. I think that I am better at drawing man-made objects. The curvy lines are a bit of a struggle to draw.

By the way Hi Mum, and Dad.

Bye bye.

The Pit

The Pit is a problem solver. It is a way of learning confidence and new strategies for when you strike a bump in the road, like when your friends throw a hissy fit, or when you are worried about things. 

The Baby with a Top-Hat

You're probably all wondering why the title is "The Baby with a Top-hat". Well you'll just have to read to find out. For art today we had to finish off painting our apples that we started last week. I enjoyed this a lot. This is what mine looks like:















About it;
I had to tidy up the edges of the apple.
And to try to shape it better.
But before that we had to draw.......




















THIS! The Baby with the Top-hat.

About it;
It is quite hard to get the eyes in the
correct position and the same with
the mouth. The main focus of this for
me was the mouth. But for me it is
easy to do the top-hat

Hope you enjoyed my blog.                                                                  

First day of Enrich term 2! Passion time.....

Today for passion time we had to paint an apple. I had already done this before so I had a bit of practice.

Things I Could've Done Better;

I could have shaped my apple better and painted it better so it wasn't scruffy.

The Best Part;

Was painting. (The whole thing was painting so I could've said the whole thing. )

What I Think.

It was fun. My apple turned into a rainbow.

War!

'Oh no'. Should I risk it or should I still go with my plan. I thought. I took the risk. 'Few'. She wasn't going to do what I dreaded her to........ Oh no. She noticed. I was playing chess with my friend Lucy. I really didn't want her to beat me. "This is war'' I said. Tic toc, tic toc. Went the clock. That was good and not good. She might not beat me in those few more minutes we had or she would. She might want the chess game to be on reserve or not.  The loud music blared from the speaker. ' Finnaly' I personally thought. "Can we reserve it" Lucy said. "OK" but my head was filled with horrible thoughts like: she's gonna beat me, she will be above me in the chess leader board. But there was just one good thought and that was; I'm going to beat her. At lunch we went back to our game. All my pieces were getting wiped out. After a while the music turned on. Lucy asked me if you had taken more pieces than your opponent then you beat them. This is only if you haven't finished your game. I said no. She asked Katie and she said no as well. ' Yeah'. She didn't beat me. She better watch out for next time because..... well just because. 

See you next term.

Bye Bye
