Chess at Enrich

Last week I did a chess workshop and we learnt about forks, pins and skewers.

A skewer is when when you put someone in check and they have a piece behind the king.

A pin is when you can kill a strong piece and the king is behind that piece and a fork is when you get someone in check and a strong piece is behind the king.

At Enrich we have a chess leader board and I have been at the top for 6 or 7 weeks.

Philosophy for children

Today at Enrich we did a workshop called P4C. It stands for Philosophy for children. In philosophy we look at things that people have been arguing for, for years. We got asked "Can you lie to yourself?" I think you can lie to yourself, even though you already know that your lying. In the past P4C's we looked at questions like "Would you choose wealth or friendship?"

P4C makes you think a lot, because you have to think about the answers, even when you think you've come to a decision, because the other kids in the group have lots of ideas that make you change your mind.
