Today I have been doing build a pyramid logic and problem solving. It involved some construction, here is a picture of it. We played a Wilson game called Pegosaurus. I played a game of chess I lost.
We did Scamper this is what scamper means- S= Substitute C=combine A= alter M= mega/mini P= put to other uses E= eliminate R= reverse.
Hi my name is Reid and I am a year 5. I come to Enrich every Monday. Enrich is a school for gifted kids. Here at Enrich we have Passion time. It is when you get to choose what you want to learn about. We play chess to help us think. We learn about what being gifted is. That is what we do here at Enrich!

Chess
In chess this morning I was at the top of the leader board and I played against Darryn. I lost. It made me sad! Now Darryn is at the top of the leader board!
This afternoon I did P4C, we talked about whether the word 'because' is an ok answer to a question. I don't think it is an OK answer because it is not very interesting.
For my picks today I have done science. It was an experiment about how far a toy car could go down a ramp with and without a chunk of blue tack on top. My hypothesis was that it would go further with blue tack, my prediction was correct!

Perspective field trip
At Enrich we are learning about perspectives. We have gone on a field trip to learn about different perspectives. The places we went to were: The water tower, a church and the art gallery. My highlight was climbing up the water tower. I have learnt that a perspective is the different views of things. Some photography perspectives are: worms eye view, birds eye view, mouse eye view and our view!
