So far in Talent Development

Today we looked at what a good story needs to include. We listened to an interview with Road Dahl on how he writes his stories and makes them interesting for kids and how to know where the line is between funny and scary.

We changed our stories round with the help of these tips and interesting words for our stories.

We have one week left to finish writing our stories.

Hi Ruby.

You had a productive session during writing talent development today. It was great to see you working co-operatively with Pyper to complete as much of your writing as possible today. You were open to the discussion of how to add more detail to your writing and worked well during the second part of the session to incorporate this into your writing. Keep up the great work Ruby.

We also started a new must do can do sheet that lasts

2 weeks then we get a new sheet.

I also did drama, in drama we were doing acting as animals and owners

and we played a game where we had to try and make a person say yes

or no, if they did say yes or no they were out.

I have enjoyed today I think I got a lot out of it.

Teacher comment

Ruby during your time at Enrich this year, you have embraced the challenges that you have come up against. You are developing some great time management skills, and have worked hard to ensure that your must dos can dos are completed as much as you can. You have learnt a lot about balancing your must dos with your project, this is a hard thing to do!

Gifted week (what it means to me to be gifted)

Well this week is gifted week so I am posting this post to let you know what I think it is like to be gifted:

I think that gifted is a way of being good at one thing, good enough to teach others.

Also I think being gifted is being able to understand things that other people can't,

but I also think everybody is gifted in their own way. At enrich they don't just accept anyone you have to be gifted at basically school things like maths.
