Today we started Talent Development. I chose to do art. We focused on abstract art today. It involves painting a plain background, then dabbing the canvas with different colours after the plain coat has dried. Then you paint certain types of flowers on the canvas. Then you are done.
Did you know the brain is faster than a supercomputer. We are studying about the Brain. We got two options to choose from... Maths or the Brain, unless you do the newspaper. The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body, and the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body.
My goal for this term is to stay in the top three placings on the Chess leaderboard.
Today during Discovery I finished my project. It was the last chance today for us to finish our Discovery projects. To celebrate the hard work we have put into our projects we are having a spring fling. If your wondering what this spring fling is, its a shared lunch and we bring a some food from your country of importance and you also have to dress up as something from your country.
Today at Enrich, during passion time, the most strangest thing happened..... For passion time I decided with the help from Bruno that I was going to make a pyramid/tower. If you were wondering what the strange thing was, I will tell you now. During passion time, the hot glue gun got jammed and started melting the glue witch got stuck to the sides of the glue gun and jammed it. And that was the story of the hot glue gun.
Today at Enrich@ILT for Garageband we created a song to burn to a CD or a track to your i tunes. I created two songs and uploaded them to my playlist. The call thing is that you can put made up songs in your playlist. My playlist has got 15 songs on it and altogether all of the songs take 51.3 minutes.
Today for passion time, I started a new passion project. If you are wondering what it is, I will tell you. My new passion project is..... Popsicle stick art. The reason I chose this project was because Paul showed me a video clip on youtube and thats where I got my inspiration. If you want to look at a sample video of popsicle art, here's the link.
First day back, YIPEE!!! I was so excited about the first day of the term. I was so excited because I have been looking foward to my passion time for TWO WEEKS!!! Those two weeks were for the school holidays. Have you ever heard of a game called Piccadilly Circus before, well we played that game this morning. Our record time for the day was 33 seconds with two ball's. My favourite part of the day was doing the three rotations we had in the day, instead of having the three rotations in three weeks we had all the three in the one day. The options today were Tannenbaum's model of giftedness, discussing our digital footprint, and stress-free techniques.
See you next week, bye.
Today at passion time I was making a list of all the games I could put on my website. I now have a variety of games that could go on to my website. I also have a variety of characters to put on the website. Next week I am going to finish off the amount of games and characters so I will be ready to make a sign up page. I am thinking of calling my website Agame 2.
Today at Enrich we did Chess. Katie asked for the top ten players to sit on one side of the room ( I was coming 1st ). The reason Katie asked for the top ten was that we were going to have a little competition. Katie also said that we had to play without are Queen. I played Reina first. We only got 5 minutes. I won on points. I got 20 points and Reina got 17. Next game, I had to play Samantha. I won on points again. I got 23 points and Samantha got 11. The top six on the leader board are Me, Thomas, Luca, Bruno, Jacob and Reina.
That is the end of my blog on the 26/5/14
Today at Enrich I did Brain Boosters with Katie. The Brain Booster Katie taught us was Chess. The purpose of the session was to be able to play a game without your Queen. Katie told us to find some one in our group to play. I challenged Bruno. Katie also said that we were playing for the chess leader board, so whoever we defeated, we would go higher up the leader board. Bruno got to be White. The game started normally then I attacked Bruno with my Rook's and my Knight's and I got him by achieving a Check-Mate. Bruno was on top of the leader board at the time. Now I got to move to the top.
That is the end of my blog on the 7/4/14.

Today at Enrich we did interviewing open question's. Open question's are more than one word answers. I interviewed Kyle. This is one of the Question's I asked him: If you had to make a meal for the prime minister what would it be? This is what Kyle responded I would make a three course meal because I think the prime minister would expect a three course meal. This is the end of my blog so I will see you next week.

During art today we were working on a style of art called abstract art. It was a type of art when you have masking tape and paint. First you put down the masking tape down in a pattern of your choice. Second you paint in the gaps with different colors. Last you carefully pull of the tape and it should look really cool.

During Talent Development/Passion time I was doing sewing. Today, I had Sharleen come in to help me with me sewing. I learnt all the basics and I made two pin cushions out of bright red fabric. I made the two pin cushions because I didn't have one and Enrich didn't have one.
Today at Enrich we did a technology challenge. The idea of this technology challenge was to make a structure to be able to fit three people inside without it collapsing. In my team we had me, Bruno, Matt L and Travis. Our group ended up winning by 1 point over Ali, Rhea and Emily. The structure we made was a teepee like thing. We managed to fit two people inside, but it was a bit of a squeeze!
