Term one

The learning wheel is part of my learning at Enrich.  It is about some of my feelings, things that I'm feeling, and things that I've learnt.  Here is my learning wheel:

Teacher comment

Drama talent development was definitely a great choice Tara you really embraced the chance to get into character and perform. It is also good to see you willingly trying all the other opportunities and challenges that enrich has to offer, as well as making some new friends.
A great start keep it up!

Drama

Today we had to pick our talent development.  We could choose from drama, photography and maths.  I chose drama.  We looked at some videos of people dressing up in clothes and pretending to be fairy tale characters.  They told the stories mainly with their voices and a little bit of acting.  We had to pretend to be a troll under the bridge in the Billy Goats Gruff story.  I got to be the troll, and a wicked witch, I sounded like a chipmunk!  It was fun getting to be a little pig in the Three Little Pigs!

How to make a tornado

It has been so much fun at Enrich so far. I can make a tornado out of  two big plastic bottles. You fill it one bottle with water and glitter. Next you put the other bottle on the top of the filled bottle and tape it together.  Next. you have to turn it upside down quickly, and swirled it.  The water from the top, drains to the bottom like a tornado.  The water moving downwards, is like the cold air inside a real tornado.  The air from the empty bottle, moves up to the top bottle just like the hot air moves upwards in a real tornado.  Katie asked up to find out what a vortex is.  It can be fast, spinning air or water (fluid).

enrich

I have had so much fun at enrich this week. I have learned lots about perspective from last week.
I have written a biopoem which is a poem about me and we had a chess lesson then we played leaderboard chess and I won my game. We also did some more theatre sports and we played a game called props where you work in pairs to use ordinary things in different and unusual ways and we also had a co operative game called pagasaurus where we had to get pegs off the other teams backs.

Starting at Enrich

This year I have been learning about perspective.  Perspective is the different ways of looking at the same thing.  One Thursday we went on a field trip to learn perspective.  We went to the water tower and that was so high! It was scary up the top.  The art gallery's paintings were so beautiful! The last place we went to was the Basilica.  The pictures on the glass in the windows were about Jesus and his friends.  We got to see the old organ and Bible.  My favourite part of the trip was seeing the city from way up high - a birds eye view.
