Talent Development

Today the Enrich students did Talent development. Talent development  is when we get to do either Photography, Mathematics or Drama. I am doing Photography and we have been doing manipulated photos. 

I really enjoy doing it so far. I have done 4 manipulated photos, one is when I am doing a stunt! (I just cut my head out and pasted it on a stunt guys head).

Chess Tournament

Today I did three games of chess two with AJ and one with Miro. The games went well the first game I did which was with AJ I won then we did a rematch and it was a draw. After that I did a game with Miro which he won! The game went well at first it seemed I would win but then I made a mistake which lost me my Queen. Since I lost my Queen I started to lose quicker.

Talent Development

Today the Enrich students and I did another talent development.Talent development is when we do the subject we choose out of Photography, Maths (Can construction) and drama. I do photography and today we had an expert photographer in to help us take photos.
The photos taken were photos of ourselves.
It was lots of fun and I enjoyed it.

The learning wheel

Today all the Enrich students had to fill in a learning wheel, going over what we had tried, used, learnt, felt and had wondered at Enrich during term 1.


A few people found it hard to write those five things because there was not much room on the learning wheel.

Others however found it easy because they probably had learnt many things this term.

SCAMPER

This week we did a scamper. S = Subsitute C = Combine A = Alter M = Mega P = Put to other uses E = Eliminate R = Reverse.

The Group I was in did well we used a noodle and most of the pictures we took were good. One we took was Substitute we used the noodle as a super long straw!

SCAMPER Is used for creativity and to make you think of using items different ways.

We also did the same Wilson Games as last time we did the peg one. Its called Pegasaurus I think.

Wilson game

For a couple of weeks the enrich students and I have been playing Wilson games. One of the games we played was one when 3 people had pegs on them. Another team had them to. The teams had to get pegs off each other. They only had one minute to do it. If a player had gotten one peg off another player that was 1 points if a person managed to have a peg all the game that was two points. For the people who were short I think it was easier because tall people have to bend down to grab the peg.

Kiaora John,

You were on fire during debating this week! I was impressed with the way you had thought out your discussion points, with further thought going into rebuttals.  Your team worked very well together, you showed great leadership here, finding a great balance of listening and contributing.

See you next week
