Talent Development (Plastering)
Today at Enrich I decided to plaster my paper måchéd lizard. To plaster things you need to get plaster and put it in water (preferably warm water) and put it on your object and then just smooth it out. It might sound simple but if you do it wrong you can have a disaster! But if done well it is a sight meant to see! Todays plastering had its bad parts and its good parts. Well, it was a very enjoyable experience and if you haven't done it I recommend you try it!

Paper Mache
Today at Enrich we got stuck into Talent Development. I went straight to get my lizard. I did a few touch ups then decided to papier maché it ( I was planning to plaster it last week but I came to the conclusion I would papier maché it first). I got some glue some paper and started. Then after break we had a game of chess (which I won... IN STYLE). After that we got back into Talent Development and I continued to paier maché my lizard. Then after lunch we had a game of octopus, then after that we got back into Talent Development. I am now doing the final touch ups with the glue and I think I am ready for the next stage.

Talent Development Progress
Another week at Enrich but this week there was no must dos / picks to do there was just talent development. This week I have put toes on my lizard and made him more life like. It won't be long until I plaster him!

Today at Enrich 7/9/11
Today at Enrich we started with a game of chess (or in my case three games as the person facing me kept wanting to have a rematch). Then we got stuck into Talent development. Today I was working on a lizard. I only have a few more things to do and then I will be able to paper mache it or plaster it. Then in the afternoon I did some sketching. You had to draw an animal then watch some videos to get some tips. Then after that you had to draw another animal again and it should be better. But mine seemed like it got worse! Then I did a where in the world and this time you had to find where in the world Steve O Stag is. Then we finished off with a challenging cooperative game!
