2 Stars and a Wish

Today is the last day of term two at Enrich.
2 Stars and a Wish is 2 things that you enjoyed and 1 wish that might be spending time more wisely, getting things finished or what you want to do better.

My two stars are 1) Talent Development, I did ICT for my Talent Development.
                           2) Doing workshops like P4C that get you thinking. 


My wish is I want to learn more ICT skills like how to use activinspire.

Perfectionism Task

Today the whole class did a perfectionism task. A perfectionism task helps us not to 

expect our selves to be good at everything!

Today we did acting. We had to get into groups of three, I went with Jemma and Sophie.

The play we did was Little Red Riding Hood.

We only had five minutes to do it with NO  props. It was so hard.

I think we did pretty good and it was still really fun.

REM Robot

Last week we made the most simple robot to make but it was NOT simple. We had to find all the pieces to make it!

Today we programmed it to move. We had to go onto MINDSTORMZ to get them to move and it was harder than having to find all the pieces.

In the end we got it moving and I was so excited!!!

Gifted Week!

This week is Gifted week, I'm writing

what giftedness means to me.

Giftedness to me is thinking creatively and working at a higher level than other kids my age.

Enrich isn't like normal school because we have a flexible time table, that's why I am

lucky to go.

Giftedness is having good task commitment to the things that you are passionate about.
I am passionate about writing and art.

Leader-board Chess

This morning the whole class had to do a game of leader-board chess.  I played Jemma.


It was so fun and challenging like a puzzle.


It involves strategy and maths.


I won because I put Jemma in checkmate.


Checkmate is when you make a move and then there is no way your challenger can move his/her king to get away and be safe.

Talent Development!

This term we are doing talent development.
I'm doing ICT/Robots. It is so fun.I have learnt how to use Alice 2.2 and it is amazing.

One thing I have learnt on Alice is now I know how to make things move around and talk.

Now we are going to learn Scratch it is going to be fun as well.
At the end of the term we are going to make a tutorial about one of the things we have learnt!

Joseph Renzulli

Joseph Renzulli is a man that studies giftedness.
He made this three ring model of giftedness.
These three sentences "Above Average Ability, Task commitment and Creativity"  are what Renzulli thought you needed to have to be gifted!
Above Average Ability means you work higher than what you need to so your higher than the rest of your people in your age group.
Creativity means thinking out side of the box.
Task commitment means if you say your going to do something you actually do it.
If you are all of these things Renzulli would think you were gifted!
