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!

Juice
Today for passion time Daniel and I made some juice. We also tried doing some suggestions that our expert told us, that might help make our drink better. For chess first I versed Daniel, it was a stalemate. Next I versed Luca, he won 16 points to 15, it was so close. I don't think I tried my hardest because I was so chessed out after the weekend because it was the Dunedin chess tournament

Orange
Hello! Today at Enrich after the roll we played chess the top 10 went together to play a round-robin tournament. I played Luca and I lost! Then I versed Jackson and lost again! Then we went onto personal development. I went with Nicola we did brain games (to sharpen up your thinking, and to help strengthen different learning styles that you might not usually use). When we had to go to morning tea everyone went awwwww! But we went anyway. For passion time me and Daniel went round asking people what flavour they would like most for our sugar free energy drink: pineapple, grape, apple, orange and orange and apple mixed together. Orange and apple mixed was the most popular with 10 votes. See you next week!

Wuzzles n Hoops
Hi people out there! Today at Enrich we did some Wuzzles which are word puzzles .We did them with Nicola. They were pretty hard. Another activity was ... Hoop-A-Rooney. It is a game where you need to get 3 hoops around a circle formed by a group of people in the fastest time without letting go of the person beside's hand. It took us 1 min 39sec.
That is all for now so bye!

Aurasma is the best!
Hi people out there!
Today at Enrich we were placed into three groups and we rotated around three activities.
One of my favourites was Rotation 1. We watched an interview with the teen artist Lorde. We learned how gifted she was and how she had all 11 scholarly habits.
My highlight was rotation 3. It was the app Aurasma. It was the best. It makes a picture come to life with video clips. You need to get the app and place the device in front of an Aurasma picture. Then the app begins to work its magic and you can watch really cool video clips. We made our own clips using the app.
See you guys next week!

Interview
Today at Enrich we had to make up 10 open questions for our buddy to answer and Norton was my buddy so she had to answer my question.
After she had answered my questions, I had to answer her questions. We are learning about our classmates and what the difference between open and closed questions. A closed question needs a one word answer. Open questions gives more than one word answers.
Before morning tea, we played this game called hoop-a-roon-y. We linked hands and had to move a hoop around the circle in the fastest time.
That is all for now so...... bye!
