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.
