Enrich

I like going to Enrich because I can be with other kids my age who know the same things and share the  same interests. I also like the fact that at Enrich, the teachers have games and sessions where your brain actually thinks without knowing the answer straight away and you get challenged. My favourite thing about going to enrich is how we get to do everything on computers because it makes it easier to get your ideas down before you lose them. Another good thing is how we have different independent activities so people can do what they want to do for example, some people like to do current events and some like to do math challenges and Enrich lets you do either, as long as you are learning and filling up your must do can do sheet.

Art - Talent Development

Today is my 7th day at Enrich for this term and my 6th day at Art Talent Development. For Art Talent Development, (which teaches us how to do passion projects on our own) we are doing mosaics. For the past 5 weeks we have been researching mosaics on the Internet, designing patterns/pictures, arranging tiles, smashing them up, gluing them on and finally we are onto the final step, filling in the gaps with grout. I am really excited to see how to do it, because it sounds really interesting. I did a letter K with spiky bits of tiles round the edge and instead of filling in the whole background I'm going to fill it in with grout instead, which should be interesting. I chose to fill in the gaps with grout because I think it will give it a good effect and make it look different.
