Last day of term.

Hey everyone!
I'm so sad that this is my last day at Enrich for another whole term. Anyway, to brighten up my day on Thursday I'm going to Australia! I'm so excited! We're staying at a place called San Mateo. Enough about my holiday though. This is about Enrich.  In the morning we did some chess and I was versing Reina. It's really hard to beat her though. I'm like 3rd from the bottom! I suck at chess! Anyway, as always she beat me. Then we did some passion time. Pearl and I were doing wearable arts. We were working together at first, but decided to split up. It's still going to be fun though because we're modeling each others. My one is called "The unknown" and Pearl's is called "The outdoor lady".

Then We did something about the environment. Here is some of a story that Darryn read:

Being Green

Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the older woman, that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment. 

The woman apologized and explained, "We didn't have

this green thing back in my earlier days." 

The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations." 

She was right -- our generation didn't have the green thing in its day. 

Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were truely recycled. 

See you next term,
Anna.

Top 10 most polluted cities in the world

Hi again,

Today Enrich was awesome!

After morning tea we watched a video about the most and least polluted cities in the world. It was some interesting news.

10: Kampour, India

9: Yasouj, Iran

8: Gaberone, Botswana

7: Peshawar, Pakistan

6: Kermanshah, Iran

5: Quetta, Pakistan

4: Ludhiana, India

3:Sanadaj, Iran

2:Ulanbataar, Mongolia

1: Ahwaz, Iran.

PRETTY SCARY! But the good news is that the least polluted city in the world is (drumroll please)....... WELLINGTON! IN NZ!

Bye,

Anna.

Hi Anna,

You worked hard on your environment project today.  It was great to see that once you had organised with your group what you needed to do, you managed your time to get those tasks done.  Hopefully we can get the proposal finished next week! You are learning to identify what needs to be done in order to complete a project, and then work your way to completion.  It is a hard skill to master!

Environment

Hi again!
Today at Enrich was soooo fun!
After play we started talking about the environment. We watched a movie about the environment and it was so sad because we saw some very sad photos and there was also some photos about animals that were almost extinct.

It was really yuck because there was a pipe with green chunky stuff coming out! Gross! Most of the people thought it was sewage but we didn't even want to know. Well at least I didn't want to know! If you really want to watch the video then you can watch it right now. Be careful because I almost burst into tears! (Nature lovers will almost scream I think!)

 If you do want to watch it then go onto YouTube and search up "Water pollution" and you should see some results. Here are some photos.  (So sad.... =( )
