Mandalas Art

Today at Enrich we had Talent development, we were singing "Deck the halls" for Singing 201.  I had a solo for it.  I mucked up a lot but then I got there, after that it was lunch my favourite part of the day. Then we had to go to the new Patterns workshops.  I joined Mandalas art, it was an Art and Maths workshop. I struggled but then Darryn helped me and I got it.  Bye see you next time .

No solo

Today at Enrich I did my Talent development.  I had  to sing but I didn't have to do a solo (PHEW!!!) and we sang " We wish you a Merry Christmas", and then we started to sing "Deck the Halls".  Today we learnt about Digital Citizenship and I learnt never give out your password to anyone or personal details.  Never say you are going on holiday on a website because someone could rob your house.

Gifted boy

Once upon a time there was a gifted boy who went to an awesome school for gifted people. Today at enrich I made an awesome garage band. It has bongo drums, piano and guitar and I overheard them talking about me in a princess costume.  I said I look pretty in pink in other stories. Tonight I am going to my club, its dress up as your favourite disney character. I am going to dress up as the hunchback because thats the only costume that Ihave. Later that day we had to do robotics and I was working with a boy named Josh and we had to make the robot follow the lines and we didn't get time to finish. Bye that was my blog see you next time.

Singing 201

Ello and welcome to my blog, today at Enrich we had a choice to chose another passion project. I was the only boy to choose singing 2 0 1 and I heard Nicola talking about me wearing a princess costume in singing. Singing 2 0 1 is were we learn Christmas songs and we go around the street singing them and we dress in Christmas outfits. I think sining 2 0 1 will be fun. After that we did a technology challenge we had to make a chair to hold a wooden frog, we lost because our chair broke before the frog was even on it. 

Lego animation

Hello today at Enrich we had to find our pirate names and my pirate name is Dead Man Spike Chum Bucket. Here is a picture to find your pirate name. After that we had to do passion time. I have changed my passion project to a lego animation with a boy named Josh, it is based on a prison break out. We have 2 prison cells ready right now because we started today and we have a helicopter. The helicopter is red and it is a fire helicopter. One prison cell has a door and white walls and the other one has bars and a roof with a plant outside it. That was my blog see you next time.

Flower babies

Hello and welcome back to my blog.
Today at Enrich was fun because we did a technology challenge where we had to make a stretcher out of 2 news papers 4 meters of string unlimited cellotape and scissors. We made a stretcher in 20 minutes we did not have enough time to make the handles stable. We did not lift the flower babies up to safety. Earlier  when Enrich started for the day we talked about gifted we had to choose a gifted person to study and I chose Dr Sues. 
Bye that's the end, see you next time. 

Maths Algebra

Today at Enrich I played a game of chess.  I played a boy named Josh, we played for forty minutes. At the end of the game it was a stale mate. After that we went onto Talent Development, we did a year eight algebra test. I got 17 out of 19 and 89 percent, here is a picture to prove I got 17 out of 19.  I learnt that by adding some numbers together you can make another algebra number.

See you next term   

Cumulonimbus

Today at Enrich in the morning while Nicola was saying the roll she changed the first letter of our last name to the first letter of our first name. I was normally Max Sievwright but she changed my name to Sax Mievwright. My friend Robert, his full name is Robert Reid so his name did not change. Well later in the day there were 3 new workshops, one was patterns of behaviour with-Katie, mapping with Jenni because Darryn was away and lucky last cloud patterns with Nicola. I learnt that there are different types of clouds and that they have names for them.  I saw Stratus,  a Cirrus and a Cumulonimbus.  It was fun. Thats the end, see you next time.

Simple Physics

Bonjour and welcome back!

Today I am going to talk about chess. I was at the bottom of the leaderboard and I went up 15 places!!. Next I went to the i pad work shop and we looked at the new apps. My favourite one was simple physics. You have to build a bridge and it had to be strong enough for a train to go over it. The bridge was my favourite structure to build.  

A human washing machine...

Aloha! Welcome back to my blog. Have you ever heard of an activity called '10 Second Objects'? Well, today we played '10 Second Object'. It's when you have a group and you have ten seconds to make a object that the teacher calls out and you have to make it using yourself and your group members. We had to make a washing machine, a sandwich, and a breakfast on a Saturday morning. Then we played another game called 'There Is Only One Liar'. We had to sit in a circle and close our eyes. Nicola went around, and tapped someone on the shoulder.  We then opened our eyes, and we had to point to the person we thought she tapped.  We played two rounds. The first round, Nicola didn't tap anyone, and the next round she tapped EVERYONE! The first round, Nicola was the liar, and the second round, we were all liars because everyone pointed at someone else, even though each of us had been tapped.

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.

the last week of the term

Aloha I'm back for another blog post. Before we started writing today,  Nicola told us to have some sentence starters hidden in our blogs.

Here are the ones i remembered.... i love..... if i had a magic wand. 

Now lets move on to something else. Today we did passion time and I was finishing my sketch. I am sad that we will not go to Enrich for two weeks. -_- goodbye.

Stone carving prep

Hello and welcome back to my blog. Today I starterd my sketch for me to make for my stone carving.   This is my passion project. I am going  to make a beaver chewing on a piece of wood! At first I was going to do a weasel but then I chose a beaver for my passion project. We got a long time to work on it this morning. When I finished my sketch, I told Katie it was morning tea because she had forgotten!  The sketch was quite tricky because you have to sketch it out in 3-D (3 directions!)  I am looking forward to getting out in the stone carving shed and getting started ._.

The trip to Queens Park

Bonjour and welcome to my blog. Have you ever dropped a camera at Queens Park.  I know I haven't. Today at Enrich we went on a trip to Queens Park. We went in two different groups. The groups were Katie and Jenni with Josh's Dad and Nicola Daniel's Mum. I was in Nicola's group. We had to pick a partner to work with before we left Enrich. In my group, I was partnered with Daniel. We had to look out for patterns in our local environment. The 4 types of patterns we had to find  beauty, order, strength and survivability. We found a lot of patterns! We went to the bird avery.  We found a lot of patterns there. The bird I liked best was the cockatoo.

Dance moves

Hi, I'm back for another blog post today. I learnt how to dance, Nicola told me to put on some glasses and called them the Elvis glasses.  I wore then a lot today,  I was scared at the start to dance because we were playing musical bumps. You dance then, when the music stops you fall on the ground as fast as you can.  I got out because I wasn't dancing.  Then when our group was at music we put on music and then people started dancing.  So I made up 3 moves,  they are called the Max 1,  the Max 2, the Max 3, then I asked if they would teach me how to dance so they showed me some moves.

the first post of the year

Bonjouri,  I'm back after a fast year. At lunch time my friend Josh asked me if i wanted to smash some boxes and  polysterene We went out side and smashed some boxes We even climbed inside the boxes because they were big and we pretended josh was the lion the witch and the wardrobe of Nania!

We had a lot of fun then we threw them on the ground. It was very loud! Afterwards we sat on it and iI even jumped on it a little We karate chopped it then we went inside. Ta ta .....
