3 2 1 Action!

Stop stop cut - we're still planning our documentary people. We have the council's phone number but we need more phone numbers. Let's make this the best kids documentary ever.

 Hi its me again - our progress on our documentary is growing.  Neave, Natasha and I have planned it most of it already.  Right have to go - making a documentary. All right people 3 2 1 action!

Second last week of term...

Today at Enrich we did Talent Development. I am doing the MADE (Media and Digital Excellence) Awards with Neave and Natasha. We are going to do a Documentary! Next we played chess. I played Natasha. The game took for ever. In the end I won. We also did a perfectionism task today.  You have one minute and a sheet of paper with jumbled numbers on it.  You have to circle as many numbers as you can in 1 minute. The first time I got 15 numbers circles, but the second time I got 20/60!  We do these tasks to exercise our brains, and so that we have a go at it, and try not to panic!

The Pattern Park

Have you ever noticed all the patterns in Invercargill's Queens Park ?? Well today at Enrich we went to the park. We found about 7 patterns on the way there. But at the park my partner dropped our camera, I was annoyed because I didn't take any photos . Luckily Max and Daniel let us use their camera. 

In the end we took 79 photos, we found lots of patterns.  We found beautiful patterns, patterns with order, patterns with strength and survivability.

Another amazing day at Enrich

Hola! Today at Enrich I did what is giftedness? Darryn read out some scenarios and we had to choose whether they were intelligent or not. There was no wrong answers. Then we had two talent development tasters. I did music with Nicola. We sang a song and did a worksheet on notes (musical notes) and then my favourite sketching with Darryn. I sketched a Bishop and Darryn said 3 dimensions=3 directions.

Caine's arcade

Aloha ! Today we watched an amazing film on Caine's Arcade . The story is set in east LA. Caine's father owns an auto parts store and one day Caine won a mini basketball hoop so he made a CARDBOARD arcade. It was outstanding and the film maker raised over $100,000 for his scholar ship . He also made fun passes $2 for 500 turns on any game .

At the end they advertised the global cardboard challenge  to find out more visit www.cardboardchallenge.com and here is the link to the video www.cainesarcade.com 

Hoola Hoop Hell

Grrrr at Enrich the morning was cold but despite the weather, inside the building, the heat was on..... every group filled with frustration determined to beat the Hoola Hoop Hell !! It seemed so easy just to hop into a hoop, but no way could we make it. We tried every tactic we could think of then I paused and saw every other group doing the same thing....one person at the front, and two at the back. Aha! Eureka! Hallelujah! We gave it a go but man did we stuff that up. My whole group crashed and burned in a tired heap. Maybe we would never escape Hoola Hoop Hell.

Last day of the year

Wow last Enrich day of the year  where did the year go . Today I played Nathan W at chess and got a stale mate. I tried to take his rook but he tricked me into losing my Queen and finished 15 th on the leader board . We also played All or Nothing. At one point it was a three way tie in the end Darryn's team won 21 - 19 -19 . My year has been magnificent my favourite part was learning the meaning of what being gifted really means. This is my last post of the year.
