John @ Enrich

Hi! My name is John and I'm a year 6 and I go to Enrich every Wednesday. Enrich is a school for gifted kids. We do a lot of different things that we don't do at school. This is something we do at Enrich. Concept Curriculum which is perspective (the way you look at something). Mental Edge that is games that makes us think, games like Chess. We also do Passion time. Passion Time is when we do something that we wanna learn or do like writing a novel, making animations , clay making , etc.

Digital Animations

Today at Enrich I did a digital animation, although it seemed very hard and complicated to achieve.

First the program I used was called Blender. Blender is 3D software that can make and model 3D objects. Examples are heads, people, lego, plus millions more.

Since this was my second time ever using the awesome programme Blender, I didn't get very far although I have managed to make a small animation.The animation is a couple of shapes that glide around, sadly it would appear that it is impossible to post it on this blog....

Chess Master Vs Master!

Today At Enrich I played an exciting and fierce game with AJ, one of the students at Enrich.

First I lost my Queen, then I decided I would not be beaten so I then did a couple of very tricky moves with my two knights that managed to knock his queen right off the chess board.

After that, the loud music came on so we decided to cancel the game since it was looking as it would end up as a stale mate.I had My king, two pawns and a knight left and AJ had his king and 3 pawns.

Also today at Enrich we had a garden expert come in and talk with the people who are doing the garden for their environment project at Wachner Place. The garden expert's name is Bruce. Together we planned out what plants we are going to use, and how we are going to arrange them. We are planning to plant roses, dwarf yellow and purple flax bushes too.
