Gifted Awareness Week




This week it is Gifted Awareness week. Gifted Awareness week is the week the gifted people think about what is it like to be gifted. We think about the good things and the bad things.The bad things for me are :Everyone thinks you should know everything so when you get something wrong they say you are not gifted and why do you go to enrich?I think the good things are you get to come to Enrich@ILT and learn with the people that are also gifted.At Enrich@ILT there are lots of Macbooks so we can do all our work on them and it makes work FUN!!!I think Tannebaums model of giftedness suits me best because:I think I have a natural ability for academics so I think I was born with a good brain,I think the enviroment around me is good for learning because in Invercargill we have good schools and we have Enrich@ILT,I think I am motivated to learning because I really love learning,I think I have chance because my Mum and Dad are smart so I am smart and I had the chance to go to Enrich@ILT and I took the chance,I think that my teachers think I am good enough to go to Enrich@ILT because your teacher has to think you are good enough to go to Enrich that how you get to go to the workshop and then it's up to the people at Enrich@ILT to say if you go here. So thats what I think about being gifted.

The Battle Of The Chess Leaderboard!!!

This is the top of the chess leaderboard. I am coming third. Everytime I beat someone at chess that is above me, I move up to them and they move 1 space below me. Everyone else moves down one. So if someone never plays they will gradually drift down and end up at the bottom of the leaderboard. So that is how the chess leaderboard works at Enrich.
