Today at Enrich we started of with a Wilson game. Then we did passion time which was my stone carving. I think that I am almost done.The favourite bit of my day was when we did the must dos/picks.What you had to do is get a matchstick and a one dollar and twenty cent coin and put one on the ground and put one on top balancing on the other. Then you carefully put the matchstick balancing on top of the coin.Then you put the cup over the top of them. After that you charged up the balloon with static electricity by rubbing it on the carpet, or your head and then use it to try and move the matchstick. The matchstick did move. This was because the balloon has more neutrons so it tries to even out its protons but the matchstick rejects it which causes it to move. I did this experiment with my friend Max.
My name is Travis. I am year 6 and I go to Enrich, which is a school for gifted kids. I come here every Wednesday. The cornerstones we use here at Enrich are Mental Edge, Affective Domain, Concept Curriculum and Talent Development/Passion Time. My favourite thing at Enrich is Passion Time and playing chess.

Today @ Enrich
Hello everyone. Today at Enrich we did a technology challenge where you had to make a contraption out of a scene in MacGyver . What you had to do is you got some materials and make a contraption in 15 minutes in groups of three. There has only been 1 group all week that has ever done it. Your feet were held by team members. You had to get your contraption across a 2.5 metre gap to get some tools. So the tools were a hammer and a chisel to get you out of the concrete that ypur feet were 'trapped' in.
