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!!!
