Reflection

Today is my last day of Enrich and we had to do a reflection where we had to answer some questions. This is my reflection.

Math talent development

Today at talent development we have started making a lego minifigure size band rotunda because the SIT building is getting demolished and they can't cut pieces for us for our puppet showed sized model. We are making our smaller ones in groups of 1, 2 or 3. I am in a group of three with Kieran and Wilson. As you can see we are not done.

 We are making them out of card, pipe-cleaners, straws and ice-block sticks. We made a huge mess!

We divided all of the real measurements by 70 to get our model measurements.

Maths talent development

Today at talent development we got our measurements from 2 weeks ago and we scaled them down to make our band rotunda (which is now going to be a puppet stage). The equations that we had to do were either divided by 8 or times 0.125.

Two stars and a wish

Today is the last day of Enrich for term three.
These are my two stars and a wish.

My first star is Story-telling talent development with Katie. It was AWESOME!

My second star is Where In The World. These are like the Henry Tuatara Challenge except different people like Bruce C Gull.

My wish is to have more ICT workshops next term.

Hi Jack.
I am so impressed with how well you have been working throughout the term on your writing.  Your narrative story has a clear beginning, middle and end and is full of action along the way!  It is great to see you incorporate your enjoyment of computers into your story.  I particularly like the way you have used a lot of computer jargon within your story.  Your effort using Garageband is fantastic - you have recorded your voice clearly, and used a variety of vocal changes and sound effects to add more depth to your story.  Well done Jack!
Katie.

Story-telling talent development

Today at Talent Development we started our real GarageBand/KidPix projects. I did mine on GarageBand. I had to record my voice for the whole thing which is 3 minutes and 5 seconds long. It was very hard to make because I did sound effects as well. It was very fun and I still have to finish it off and show Katie.

P4C

Today as one of my workshops I did P4C. At P4C our question was 'are impossible things possible?' We started by seeing each others answers with no talk. Darryn then asked if genies were real. I said yes because there could be another world that we don't know about. Another kid then started a HUGE argument about it but in the end Darryn won and we carried on. After asking some yes/no questions we learnt about contradictions. We then settled with the answer that everything is possible except contradictions. In the end this was a good P4C session
