Complete!

Today I finished doing my discovery project for next week! I finished off printing everything out and I have put a background on my poster board. My background is newspaper, but without the colourful pictures. We tried to cut out only white and black pieces to try and make it look as historical as we could. To add some colour I put my pieces of information, questions etc, on to colourful pieces of paper and put it onto my poster board.

Fun, Challenging, Learning

My favourite thing I did today was doing my art and finishing it. The most challenging thing I did today was doing clay on my own without Marie being there. The part I learned the most in today was in my discovery about my countries of importance (Germany and Australia).  In Australia, they use to have a different language.

CD Creator

Today at Enrich@ILT the Garageband group put some music on i tunes. When Paul comes back we will put all the music we created and some we downloaded from youtube on to a blank disc we can play at home with our own music. What challenged me was trying to put the music onto i tunes that was really difficult for me. What I learnt to do today was how to download the music on to i tunes even though it was a bit hard.

Special Pottery Present

Today at Enrich@ILT I did some more pottery. And what I did was I put some glazing on my fired up pottery and then I made a cup. Next week I'm going to paint my cup and going to add it to my present for my Mum. What I'm doing is making a cup, a bowl and a plate for each member of my family. If I haven't finished it all them by the end of the year I'm going to do it next year as well.

Attack!

Neigh! My third in command leaps over my servant. Servant go protect him now. Yes sir I will go right   away my servant replies. Ahhhhh! My knight screams in pain as he gets a stab straight in the stomach. This isn't looking good I say, charlie is really good but I'm not going to surrender I can prevail I say. Our five minute battle seemed like it lasted forever. Ohh! It's stalemate at least I haven't been captured, me, the king of the black.

Today I also made a goal for the term. My goal was to finish all my five bowls, cups and plates made out of pottery. I've got the exact height and length that I want to make my pottery.

GarageBand

Today at Enrich, I did a session on garageband. What we did was we got two songs and we added some music off garageband to change the way it sounded. It was up to us to make a beat of our own with a Lorde song and a Beatles song and thats how we made one new song. The second piece of music we made was all on our own. We used different samples of instruments and combined them however we want. Now you know what garageband is you can go on it yourself and one little thing, it only works on apple computers.

3 In One Day!

Today at Enrich I did three sessions based on personal development. The first rotation I did was Abraham Tanaumbams model of giftedness with Katie.  One of the five abillities you have to have is Environmental Supports. Environmental Supports is like the support networks in your environment, such as school, my family supporting you to do things like Enrich@ILT and sports.

The second session I did today was with Paul. We carried on with Digital Footprint. Paul showed us a website that you can look at to keep you safe. There is also a website that you can download a dolphin that you can click on if there's something inappropriate. Then you can go and get an adult and they will exit out of the site for you.

The last but certainly not the least was a session with Nicola on how to deal with stress. We watched a video that taught us how to deal with stress and then we did some doodling to calm us down so we wouldn't get stressed.
