Reflection for 2011

Kiaora Josh,

It was great to see you giving Darryn a challenge in chess this week! I hope you continue playing once you get to high school. You will have to see if they have a team and get them to the tournament in Dunedin!

You are stepping up to the challenge in maths, with our scale model of the band rotunda. Do you think we have scaled it correctly, and the puppets will fit?

Enjoy your last couple of days!

Today @ Enrich 15-11-11

Today at Enrich we started by doing Talent Development, I do maths. We were using measurement that we already made when when we measured the band rotunda and we were converting measurements. We made every 10 metres into 1 metre (10:1). Then after we had a chess break and I had to face Darryn because I didn't get challenged by anyone else. I was losing until he touched the Knight and had to move it, allowing me to take his Queen.Then we split into 2 groups, one group did Habits of mind and the other did debating and then we would switch over after 20 minutes or so.Then it was lunch and after we continued with our must do and picks for the afternoon.

Today @ Enrich 8-11-11

Today Enrich we started by doing our Talent Development. I do Maths as mine. We we converting sizes using metres, centremetres, and millimeters. For example 1 metre would be 5 centremetres. Then we got split into 2 groups and my group did P4C which was about if we felt weird in different situations with people around us. Then we did a habits of mind workshop. We learnt about thinking interdependently which is thinking in a group or team, and another one was striving for accuracy which is always trying to get better.

Today at Enrich 25-10-2011

Today at Enrich we got to choose our Talent Development. We got to choose out of Maths or Science. I chose Maths. For Maths we went to Queens Park to measure the band rotunder to make a scale model of it. We also had to draw a sketch of it in our workbooks. When we got back it was morning tea. Then we started our Must-do can-dos. They are a list of learning activities we can do. We have to do a certain amount of work over the fortnight.
