THE PIT!!!!

Hello and welcome back to my blog today. I am going to talk about the pit. The pit is a pit that you can fall into if you are unorganised and tired. The pit is really bad to be in and it is hard to get out of. Darryn demonstrated how you can get in here. Some ways to get in can be from being tired, being unorganised.  Once you start feeling this way, you can fall deeper and deeper into the pit. We talked about how to get out of the pit - you need to tell someone what the problem is - that is often the hardest thing to do!

Renzulli and his model of giftedness.

Aloha and welcome to another blog post. Today I am going to talk about Renzulli's model of giftedness. Renzuill says you need 3 things to be gifted. He said you have to be creative, have task commitment (sticking to a task like sticky jam), and have above average ability (your working at a higher level than your age). They are the three things he says you have to have to be gifted. Okay, now lets move on to chess today. During chess Daniel challenged me to a game of chess and I won! I moved up no spaces because he was at the bottom of the leaderboard anyway!

Advanced Chess lessons with Darryn

Hello welcome back to my blog... I hope you all had great holidays. Today at Enrich we watched a quick video about a cat and a big box.  It is called Marus and the big box.  Then I played a game of chess as I went to Darryn's advanced chess. Lessons we learnt were something called Scholars,  checkmate - you can win a round of chess in four moves. I was going to challenge someone but everyone was playing.  Later we are going to do a technology chalange. BYE see you next time.
