Today for the co-operative game we played sardines. Sardines is a game kind of like hide and seek except one person hides and the other people have to find that person. If someone finds him/her they have to hide with them without telling anyone and it carries on until one person is left and they get to hide for next time. Then I did current affairs. It was about foreign fishermen fishing in NZ waters and getting treated cruelly. The website of the week was national geographic KIDS. It is a good website and there are good games on it. After lunch I did P4C again. This time we were talking about 'can we lie to ourselves?'. I Always thought we could but Darryn kept putting up an argument. You can't lie to yourself because you know it isn't true but you can lie to other people and they know it is true. If you want to let me know what you think, just comment on this post. Then I did rebuses and went home.

Today we played seaweed for the co-operative game. It wasn't the best game but it was still fun. Today I did P4C and Interactions for my workshops. At P4C we were talking about why we get rewards throughout the year at school and a big reward at the end of the year whilst we only get a big reward at the end of the year at Enrich. At interactions we made a mind-map about people to people interactions. I also did Current affairs, it was about Casey Heynes, a boy who fought back against a bully and another girl who got bullied at school and ended up knocked out and was bleeding out her ears.

Today we played a co-operative game where we were in three teams and we had to do an obstacle course. It was fun.

The workshops I went to today were moments in history and multiple intelligences.In history we were talking about why New Zealand is nuclear free and we made a comic life about the things we had learnt.    In multiple intelligences we talked about our intelligences and habits of mind.

Current affairs was a story of two people being rescued from a ruined building in Japan where the tsunami was.

First post ever!10/3/11

Wow, my first post ever! Today we played a game of rob the nest. Rob the nest is a game where you have your own nest/hoop for your team.Then you have to steal objects from the opposing team's nests. After that we started our flexible timetable. We could do affective domain or current affairs. We could also do some workshops including blogging, emailing, hot writing, art-still life, P4C(philosophy 4 children) and questioning. Affective domain was a survey about yourself and current affairs was about the earthquake.
