Last day at Enrich

Today is my last day at Enrich for Term 2 2011, and I think I've had a pretty good term.  One star (good thing) is talent development, because I've had fun making mosaics and arranging and glueing the pieces. My other star would just be being here because I've made a lot of friends who like the same things as me and also because of being able to do things like choosing what we do at what time. My wish is that I plan my time better and do everything I'm supposed to ahead of time instead of just waiting till the end of the term.

Art Talent Development

We're all finished making our practice pieces and we're ready to start making our big design. We have to get a move on though, because we only have 2 days left to start and finish it. For our design we've decided to do a Kiwi with different sized ferns all around it, with grass on the bottom. We've been talking about donating it to the Invercargill's Children's Ward, which would cheer up the kids there.

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.

Last day at Enrich

Today is the last day at Enrich for the term.

The time has gone so quickly because it feels like it has only been a few days here.

I have learnt a lot of new things here and I have had lots of fun doing it.
My favorite thing I learnt about was Fibonacci Numbers because it was fun trying to figure out the pattern of the numbers.
I also enjoyed looking for the pattern in nature.

There are only a few workshops today because this afternoon Alana will have a technology challenge for us to do.

It is a surprise so no-one knows exactly what it is about.

I hope we find out soon because it is killing me not knowing.

Multiple Intelligences

These are my results for the Multiple Intelligences survey.

It shows that I am more logical smart than all the other smarts.

It seems that I am the least smart at music and I am more visual than word smart.

It also says that I am a little bit more myself smart than people smart.

This means I am very visual smart, which means that I can visualize things instead of seeing words.

For example, if I read the word elephant I would see a picture of one instead of a word.

NO BULLYING

When I was doing current affairs this morning I read a story about a girl and a boy, the girl had been bullied almost to the death, and the boy had stood up to an attacker.

I thought that it wasn't fair how (even though they were pretty big incidents) bullying is only being highlighted now when it has been going on for years.

I think it needs to be stopped NOW before another incident like the one that occurred to the girl happens again.
