2 STARS & 1 WISH

Today is the last day of term 2 at Enrich. We had to do a blog post about 2 Stars & and 1 Wish for this term. So here it goes...My first star is having Katie as our teacher. My second star is getting to go out and collect loads of prizes for my passion project. My wish is that my Quiz Night will go well and we get enough money to get the family down from Christchurch and some accomodation and some spending money for them as well. So those are my stars and my wish.

Going out prize hunting!

Today Willson, Max and I went out to Windsor to find some sponsors for our Family Quiz Night. We went to United Video, First on Windsor, Take Note, Interior Girls, Windsor Phamarcy and much much more. We are starting to get a big pile of prizes. I hope it gets bigger!

Joining Passion Projects

My Passion Project is doing a Family Quiz Night. I am doing it with Willson and Max. Today we decided to join our Passion Project with Tabbitha and Nathan so we do the quiz night together.We are thinking of doing it on the 11th of August. It is going to be at the Bill Richardson Truck Muesum (It's my late Grandad's so my mum now owns it) We all hope it will go well...THE END

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.

Human Interactions

This is my mind map that I did with Grace. It is about 'Human Interactions'. It has some interactions that might happen in these places: Clubs, Enrich, School and Home (If you can't see it press on it to enlarge it). Interactions are like when people talk or if some does something to someone it effects that other person so that person does something back.

This is my prior knowledge about interactions.Interactions is this years Concept Curriculum.A Concept Curriculum is a theme that we learn about for the whole year(If you can't see the words just click on it to up size it).
