Story Bird

Today at Enrich, Darryn showed me a website called Story Bird which 
is a programme with heaps of pictures which you can use to make a book. 
Because I love writing I think it is a great website.
I am looking forward to next week so I can make a 
story and add really cool illustrations in.

This is one of the pictures:


Also today we did thinkers keys.
The thinkers keys I did were variations, which was thinking of things
differently or changing something, one of the questions was ways to keep dry when it was raining. One of the things my group thought of was getting a giant plastic dome on wheels. The other key I did was,
the ridiculous key, which is having a ridiculous statement and thinking of positive outcomes.
One of the ones we got was if the driving limit changed to 6 years old. 
It was so fun!

Floor Planner - Passion Time

Today during passion time Kate R and I went onto www.floorplanner.com and did a house plan because when I'm older one of the jobs I would like to do is to be an architect. It was so fun I haven't finished it yet but I think it looks really cool!
This is what it looks like so far:
I have a master bedroom, bathroom, walk in closet, kitchen, lounge, hall way and a patio deck thing!
I made an account so I can save my work!
On I also so have a second floor but I haven't started it yet but it will hopefully be awesome.
