Term 2

This Term the returning students of Enrich (I am one,)

get to start their Passion Projects and the others are doing Talent Development, I am still not to sure on what I want to do for my Passion Project.

At Enrich we have a new teacher Katie because Sarah has gone to have her baby Katie is very nice.

Nature

I made a slide show with the photos that I took in Alana's photography workshop, we were learning how to use the camera properly and find out what each button means like the flower means that you would like to take a picture of nature or a close up picture of something, or the button with the person on it means that you want to take a picture of a person, the button with the lightning strike on it means that you wan't to turn the flash on or off:

current affairs

Today I filled out a current affairs sheet here it is

The point of filling out this sheet is to find out what is happening in the world, because it can have an affect on us as well as them.

Sharing Night

On April the 7th we are having a sharing night, but this time it will be different.

We are having a picnic at Andersons park if it is a nice day and if it is raining we are having it at Waihopai school hall.

I am so excited and can't wait, we will have the opportunity to share what we have learnt at Enrich and we will have the chance to meet others that go to Enrich, our parents and sisters and brothers also get to meet the other people that go to Enrich!!!

P4C

Hi, I would love to tell you about P4C.

P4C is a great way to take time to think about things.

Today we were talking about if we should be rewarded for our efforts?

After a really big debate I finally decided that it depends on the effort and what the reward meant it doesn't have to be a physical prize.

I love P4C and I would really recommend it for those who haven't tried it.

Ruby

My new learning 15.3.11

Hi, today went great! I have done the P4C (philosophy for children,) we had to answer questions like would we rather have $25 million or friendship? It sounded easy at the start but once we found out what the words really meant, it was so difficult. I chose friendship because I wouldn't like it that much if I was rich because I think that you would be all stuck up.

I also did art with Darryn. We used indian ink and we drew cats(mine was running. I finally got it right after QUITE a few tries, (the way that I wanted it).

Thanks I really can't wait until next week (-;

Bye for now!

Flexible timetabling

At Enrich we have started flexible timetabling, I find it really good because I am learning how to manage my own time, instead of doing one thing all day we have a list of things we can do or we have to do today. I am going to finish off my still life painting.
