Feeling So Relieved!

Hello! 
Today at Enrich we have completed a lot of Affective study. So far three people have done Steve Irwin who is a animal lover. People have been doing their Affective study on Powerpoint, Prezi and Keynote. I did my presentation on Powerpoint.

Art Today!
Today I have finished my first layer on my orange Fox lino print. Next I need to carve all the parts that I want to stay orange. The next colours I am going to use are brown green and blue. That means I am going to do a quadruple coloured print. That's going to look cool.

Finally Finished!

Hello!

Affective Study

Today so far we have had the last day of working on are affective study. Luckily I have finished just in time. I have done my affective study in power point. The reason why I am doing power point is because I have taken a class to learn cool animations and work most of the features of the programme.

Lino print

Also today I did a wee bit on my lino print. Just to remind you it is a picture of a fox slash beever kind of thing.  Anyway I have done a few test prints and some of them were put into my good pile. First it was a bit shady. Second it was a little bit over painted and then it was pretty much perfect. The colour of my print is orange. My second colour will probably be brown.

BE AWARE WHAT YOU PUT ON THE INTERNET !!!!

BE CAREFUL!

Today we had an affective Digital Citizenship Teacher led workshop. Mostly it was a big talk about keeping yourself safe on the internet by not putting things on that are offensive to others or personal information. Sights that I'm talking about are Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and loads more.

PASSION TIME/ART

Today I started a new print because my old one went missing. It is a picture of a beaver or a squirrel. I don't know. Today I made my carving and having one test print. I thought it was pretty good for the first time.

Affective study

Hello!

Affective study

Today I have made huge progress with my affective study. I am now on to publishing. I am thinking about doing my study on power point. Today I have completed my three habits of mind which are striving for accuracy, persisting, taking responsible risks, thinking and communicating with clarity and precision and my Renzullis model of giftedness. They are creativity, above average ability and task commitment. 

Word art

Today in word art we worked in the little room. I did a little crossword since I wasn't here last week and I wouldn't get it done in time. 

Intense Chess Match!

Hello!

Today at first we started with chess. I am playing Lucy. She is black and I am white. We are still playing the match because we didn't finish the game during chess time. I think I'm feeling confident. At the moment I am first on the leader board and Lucy is fourth. 

Talent Development

Today in Talent Development I finished my single layers and now I am digging out the background. But I'm not quite done yet.

Blue Owl

Hello

Talent Development

Today in talent development I started my new lino print. It is a picture of an owl as you can see. For my first colour I'm doing is blue. Today I have done four practice prints and four good prints. My test prints weren't as good as my new prints because the printer was loose but then Darryn fixed it. 

Gifted Person

For my gifted person I am doing Buck Shelford. I am doing Buck Shelford because he is a former All Black captain and he has made significant contributions for New Zealand. 

Just staying Up

Hello!

Talent Development 

Today in Talent Development I carried on with my triple layer of my print. Just to remind you the three colours that I am using are green, orange and blue. My background is green, the middle of my boot was blue and the outside of the boot is orange.

Technology Challenge 

Today in my group there was Travis, Matt, Charlie and I. What we had to do was make a shelter that three people could fit in. It had two have no holes in it.  Luckily ours stayed up. Oh yeah I forgot to tell you who won. It was us.

Blue and orange boot.

Hello!Talent Development
Today in talent development  I started doing my over layers. My two colours were orange and blue. Blue was the background and orange was the inside of the boot. There is a wee bit of blue in the centre of the boot. I am still going to make the green in the background instead of the blue.

Mind Mapping
Today for the rotation I did mind mapping with Darryn. First he showed us all sorts of types of plans that we could do. Then he told us how it looks and what you need to do. After that he drew a mind map on a fish. He asked us what first came to your mind when I said fish. I thought of a fishing line. After we completed the fish mind map we had to do our own on are gifted person. I drew Peter Jackson and did three branches. They said Lord of the Rings, Hong Kong and movie director.

Goodbye!

Kinesthetic

Hello!

Multiple Intelligence Survey

Today first off we did the MIS test and it had 56 questions. The teacher that was helping us was Jenni and I think it was a little boring. You could either choose a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. One is that you don't like it at all or that is not like you. Two meant that it was you a little bit or you liked it a little a little bit. Three means that it is you sometimes or you like it depending on what is about. Four means that it is you most of the time or you like it most of he time. Five means that it is totally you and you love it all the time.

Talent Development.

Today in talent development I had to carve out all the lino that I was gong to use as orange and it was a bit of a struggle because I kept on missing some little bits so I had to go back and forth heaps of times.

See you next week!

Today was awesome!!

Hello!

Chess 

Today first thing we did was played chess.  I sadly lost against Rhylee but it had to go down to points. I am now third on the leader board. The remaining top three are Matt L, Rhylee and me.

Talent Development 

Today Amanda taught us in art. We just got some more printing done. I did six practice copies and one good copy. I kind of failed because only one worked and all the other ones were smudged or faded.  

Mapping

Today I also did mapping with Amanda and I think it was very interesting because I have never learnt about maps. If you found green on a map it would mean some sort of vegetion. Blue means water e.g. ocean, river, streams. White meant clear big areas. Black meant  man made things. Brown meant contour lines.

That was part of my day at Enrich. 

My Long Day

Hello 

Today I have had a awesome day and I'm about to tell you why.

I played a awesome game of chess against Matt. I bet him the first time but then he bet me in the next and the one after that. I am now second on the leader board.

After chess I went to Katie's  patterns of behaviour workshop part 2.  We learnt about how we can make normal things during the day be fun. One of the examples were putting on your seatbelt. There was a T.V screen and it went on when you put your seatbelt on.  This was a way to change behaviour.

Then I had morning tea.

After that we had talent development  and we carried on with our lino prints. I used purple, orange, white and yellow. I printed abut six of them today.

After we had lunch I had debating with Katie. We talked about  what were the positives and the negatives about how would adults behave in 100 years. Also which country did we think that was the most strict. I said Afghanistan because the president demands war.

Thanks for reading!!!

My Monstrous Morning

GOOD DAY

ART

Today the art group went to the art gallery. We had a look at some awesome paintings and drawings. Some of them look realistic.

When we got back Darryn  decided that we should do Lino prints. I am doing a rugby boot.

CHESS

In chess today I sadly lost to Luca. I am now second. I rematched Luca any way but I sadly lost again.

DRAMA

This morning we did spatial drama and psychological drama.  The Spatial drama activity we did today was when four or three people get ten seconds to make something (for example) a breakfast.  I was in Travis, Matt, and Matts group.

Then we did psychological drama. The activity was called Only One Liar. First we got into a circle. Then Nicolala said to close our eyes. She came around the circle and said that she would tap some one on the shoulder. (SPOILER ALERT) But she ended up not tapping anyone. Then she told us to open our eyes  and point at the person who got tapped on. No one pointed at Nicolala. Who was the dirty liar?

I beat Charlie!

Today we had an awesome day! We had chess and now I'm on the top because I beat Charlie, I beat Charlie, I beat Charlie! Then I played a wee game against Travis but we did not finish it. 


We also did ART. We had to draw  two onions, two zucchinis and a capsicum. Darryn helped me with the shadow and the shading a wee bit, and he taught me that the darkest thing that you are looking at needs to be shaded the darkest.

This Morning

Today so far its been great! We did something a little different today. Its called The Pit. You can fall into the pit if you let something get out of control. Then you feel sad about it if you don't tell your parents or a teacher. But then you get out of the pit by standing tall and telling your parent or teacher. You need to have strategies to help you out of the pit.

We also did Passion time and talent development. I sketched four drawings. One of them  was a non-nature object and three of them were nature objects. I learnt that the light and the shapes and the positions of the objects that we were drawing are very important to keep in view while you are sketching.

Goodbye!

The Monstrous Morning

Finally Wednesday! Today so far we have had an awesome day. After  we chatted about things and the roll, we started chess. At the start I was third but at the end of the session I was first even though I bet Reid. I check mated Reid but it took me awhile.

After chess we talked a little bit about Gagne's model of giftedness and also Ranzule,s model of giftedness. The three things that Ranzule thinks an adult should have is Task Commitment, Above Average Ability and also creativity.

Then we had morning  tea...

Then we did art! Yeah, I love art. First we sketched a funny looking clown kind of thing. Then we finished painting our apple on a plate. 

THAT WAS MY MORNING AT ENRICH!!!

Chess

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Today we played  chess. Sadly I lost to Charlie and Matt. That meant I went down to third place. Charlie is now first and Matt is now second.

 

Today we also had a little talk about Gagne,s model of giftednes. The three things that Gagne,s think you should at least have one of is creativity task commitment and above average ability.

That was some of my day at Enrich.

LAST DAY OF THE TERM!!!

 Today it  was AWESOME!!! We got to sketch an apple on a plate and then paint it. I'm not finished yet so I will have to finish it after the holidays. 

Just a quick refreshment. First we did blending with the primary coulors and then we made a colour sheet light to dark with the primary coulors.

The other thing I am going to talk about is our field trip in Queens Park. We had to edit all our photos and then make a keynote about it. I have not finished it yet either

This is my score for my before school pick. It is called letter bubbles.

Talent Development

WOO HOO!! Its Enrich today!

Finally after 7 days we are at Enrich again.

Today we did Talent Development. Once again I am in art. Today Jenni taught us because Darryn wasn't  here. Today we blended the primary colours, light to dark.  I did blue and red. Here is  a picture of it.  The hardest part about blending colours is when you have to put the right amount of paint on the painting.

My favourite is blue. 

Talent Development

This year I am with Darryn in art. Today we learnt the primary colours are red blue and yellow. Then we started blending them with cb' cy and cr. That means cool blue together with warm blue etc. We are doing painting at the moment.I am hoping to achieve a full painting.


          This is a painting of nature.

 

Our Awesome Trip

AHHHH theres a mad woman driving on the road !!! Today we went on a field trip. The purpose of the field trip is  patterns.  We went to Queens park.  My partner was Travis. My teacher in the group was Darryn. First we walked to the park. Then when we were crossing the road the old woman sped up to try run over us but we quickly went across safely.When we got to the park we started taking photos of patterns of beauty, strength, survivability and order. After a while we got to the playground and we played there for a little bit. It was a beautiful day for a play in the park.  It was really annoying because I had to wear three layers of clothing. When we came back Jennis group was first and then it was Katies and Darryns group at the same time. 

Amazing Drama

 YEAH ITS DRAMA!!! Today we had drama. It was awesome!!! We played Musical bumps, one word story, colour line and fortunately and unfortunately. 

First we played One Word story. Everyone said because, banana, and apple so Jenni made it so we were, not allowed to say those words.

Then we played colour line.  Jenni picked six people to go up on the stage and then Katie put a colour on our back and told us what our colour.  Then people were not allowed to look and we changed our order and then the people not up on the stage guessed the correct order. If they got it right they came up and Katie put a colour on your back.

After that we played fortunately and unfortunately and we got in to groups of 2 and played it. Someone had to be fortunately and the other person was unfortunately.  Then they started an argument and someone tried to stop the other person by saying you haven't got any petrol etc......

Finally we played musical bumps. THe song we were dancing to was forget you. Joey came first.

That was drama at Enrich.

Talent Development Tasters

Wow we had some cool talent development tasters on offer today! The three activities were music with Nicola, maths with Katie and art with Jenny. I went to music with Nicola. We learnt how to read musical notes as well as learning the words to a song.  We will keep going with this song next week. It is called 'My Life Would Suck Without You. We had to dance to it! I am excited because I think we will have to sing it to the class next week.

Goodbye!!!

Drama

 Yes!!! I'm fourth and I might come first ohhhhhh. This was a game Nicola taught us called Musical Bumps.I was in the looser side.

Dun Dun Dunnnnnnnnn  Today at Enrich we had drama. Nicola taught us the Holiday game, and also taught us a really hard game. Everybody had to hold hands in a circle and grab some hoola hoops and then we had to slide the hoola hoop down your arm and step out of it and not let it touch the ground. 

I felt rushed because all the hoola hoops were coming at me at once and I couldn't get them to Luca!

See you next week.

The Wilson game today

Today we played a Wilson game called the Hoop Game. It is when a group of three have to buddy up. Katie made us have one girl in the groups and at least one boy. I was in Charlie's and Katura's group. The rules were that we had to hold hands and then jumped and tried to get into the hoop and as a matter of fact our group c Katie said jump and then she would CLAP!!!  Weame first! I think Matt L, Samantha and Luca came second and Darryn, Brianna and Briana came third.

That was my Wilson game at Enrich.

The 2 day back at Enrich

Bonjour.

Today we had a Wilson game first. We played Piccadilly circus. The rules were that you have to pass the ball instead of throwing it and that you were not allowed to talk. You could not pass the ball to the person beside you.  We did  a sheet that you had to fill out that had I am, I wonder, I admire etc. Katie had a quick quiz and she asked what are the four corner stones. We said Concept curriculum, Affective domain, Talent development and Mental edge.

That was my day at Enrich. Goodbye!!!
