Patterns

"STAY TO THE LEFT" said Nicola as we walked up the streets of Invercargill. People running, biking and driving cars we could only just hear our own voices. Today at ENRICH we went on a patterns field trip. We went all around Invercargill looking for everyday patterns that we never notice. Like the patterns in buildings that give it Strength, The pond that give the ducks Survivability, The makeup pattern that supplies Beauty and the road signs that give Order. Now look at all the capital letters in that section if you mix them up they make B.O.S.S which stands for types of patterns. So next time you go out and try look for the patterns you don't see and you will be amazed of how much you have missed.

Here are some pictures that we took

Bulls Eye

One shot and a world of possibilities.....

Thoughts flowing through my mind.... which hoop.... thinking about my chances. (Sorry sounds like I am mindlessly mumbling but believe it or not its actually a game) It is called bulls eye - not the animal though.

Its all a game of chance. First of all you have four chances, also known as four beanbags four hoops. The first hoop is worth two which is the most likely for you to get; the second is four that's pretty likely. The third hoop is not very likely, but if you get it you shall receive six points.... sadly its not that likely. Now, if you think you're going great and you want to take a gamble the last hoop is EIGHT POINTS - that's only if you're feeling lucky like you just met a leprechaun.

My team was going well then we hit rock bottom and had a draw for second. I know last sounds bad but that was a great effort I think. Well enough said. When you have the time you should play the game bulls eye. It is amazing!

All you need is:

8 hoops

8 bean bags ( or bean bags animals if you want a challenge)

A line to stand behind.

Someone to keep score

And a timer.

Then you are ready to play BULLS EYE.

Blokus Tower defense

The War of Blokus

Defend your tower, defeat your opponents trap your enemies and win the war in the realm of BLOKUS. My enemies Jake the orc and Miro the wizard and me Max the monster this is a war of logic "max max max wake up" is what I heard from Jake when my eye squinted open. It had all been a dream NOOOOOOOOOO! But enough about board games and day dreaming. Today we had a drama game where the teacher started the sentence of and the next person had to continue it. Sounds pretty easy but we had to do it from the alphabet like the first persons sentence had to start of with a A and the second person with B and so on. That is the experience of a day at Enrich.
