Hi Katie,

Did you enjoy working on the ipad to create your mind map this week? You created a great looking map that included all the vital features of a mind map, it was very brain friendly! I hope you can use this app again in your learning because it is a great way to sort your ideas!

Documentary

Next week on the 15th Kate, Izzy and I are going to Oreti Beach and Sandy Point. Today I spent a good 15 minutes on writing a script for Izzy Kate and I. We are filming more sand dunes, the beach and walk paths, so when it comes time to start editing, we would hopefully have it basically done. We only have about 3 more sessions at Enrich to finish.

Documentary trip

Today Kate, Izzy and I went to the park and the museum to interview Lindsay Hazily and Robin Pagan. First up to do the interviewing was Kate. Kate was interviewing Lindsay at the Museum and I was interviewing Robin at Queens Park office. It took about five minutes to set up the camera. After we filmed Kate and Lindsay we jumped into the car and headed towards the Park office. As we were in the car my stomach was doing flips like a pancake. When we got there, Robin had a visitor so we had to wait for nearly 10 minutes, soon enough it was my turn. So I grabbed my book and off I went. When the Documentary is finished and we've sent it to the MADE awards I will put it on my blog.

Teacher Comment

Katie.

You have had a busy term at Enrich.  You have great friendships with a variety of children.  You have shown your creative side in both mosaic art, as well as stone carving in your own time.  You are learning to become more independent and seem more sure of yourself, which is great to see.  Your blog posts are always interesting and full of detail.  You have learned more about yourself as a gifted learner through exploring and unpacking different models of giftedness.  Keep up the positive attitude for next term.

Katie.

Enrich Term 2

Hello, it's me again. I'm doing this blog post about Term 2 at Enrich. This term has been fantastic for me. My two stars (good things)  would be: Getting to go into the art shed and doing my whale tail out of Oamaru stone, and finishing my mosaic. My wish would be to make sure Enrich never changes. I can't wait until next time I come, it's going to be wicked!

Mosaic Team!

Today we started on our Team mosaic and we're doing a kiwi and some ferns. I'm quite enjoying it but the only thing is that we've got to make sure that the most tiles are the same size and that they're spaced out evenly. The colours we are using for the kiwi are brown for the body and orange for the legs and the beck. For the ferns we're doing a black outline with a white middle. Hopefully we are going to be finished before the holidays. I'll put a picture of the mosaic on my blog when I'm done.

Stone sculpture

Every Thursday at lunch time Grace and I saw, cut and chisel out pieces of stone for our stone carving. We are carving out a whales tail. It all started about 7-8 weeks ago when Grace was talking to Darryn about a stone carving. I happened to be there at the right time and the right place because I got to start one too. This is what I've done so far.
