Planting

Today Kate and I had to get to Enrich at 8:15am to get to the Waihopai River to set up our planting day.We were sponsored by Watties who gave us juice and Environment Southland who helped us. When we got there we saw Hannah H and Madison who had brought wheel-barrows so we could wheel the plants down to the site. Soon at 9:30 the rest of our Enrich group came and we started planting! YAY! We showed them how you make the hole to put the plant in and how to put the protecter and weed sheet on.  Next everyone was planting and the Southland Times came!
Overall it took us 2 whole hours to plant 250 plants! It was really fun!

Visual Spatial Spelling

Today at Enrich we did visual spatial spelling.
It was really fun. Darryn wrote us a word on the Ipad that was put into syllables and different colours.
The first word was Astrophysics and it looked like this As tro phy sics.
We had to look at it for 30 seconds then closed our eyes and see if we could see the As tro phy sics  in our head then we had to write it backwards like this scisyhportsA. I could write it backwards but I couldn't see it in my head. The next word was Elephant. It looked like this El e ph ant. 
Again I could write it backwards like this tnahpelE but I couldn't see El e ph ant in my head!
