Wuzzles

Words and puzzles - in short terms - Wuzzles. As a brain-booster today I got to do Wuzzles.  The way a Wuzzle works is that you get letters then turn them into a brain-racking puzzle. Nicola's puzzles were.... you have a sheet with 1 - 20 on it,  then there was a box with 20 different shape types. We had to put the shapes in alphabetical order - oh,  and this was just the warm-up. The second sheet was horizontal alphabetical order. There were 15 puzzles with random letters scattered in a line. EXAMPLE: 
1.cgumnti  
2.hloweqaz 
3.jiygeas

Lordes giftedness

"You need to memorise this sheet". 
These were the worst words I'd ever heard out of Nicola's mouth. 7 other people and I had to memorise the 11 scholarly habits. I found it Extremely Treacherous. Eventually, the good stuff came. We got a sheet that had the 11 scholarly habits listed. Then we got to watch a video where Lorde's teacher was talking about Lorde. 
I found that Lorde is very gifted.

My final rotation was Aurasma. Aurasma is an app  where you can go to images that have videos in them. I got paired up with Daniel. Daniel and I made a video , named it then finally put it in a picture.  We could then watch the video using the app.  

Stay tuned for next weeks blog.

Curly questions

Hi everyone, This is my second blog of the year. We learned the difference between open questions and closed questions. Open questions require a long descriptive answer while closed questions require one word answer. 
About an hour ago I had to think of 10 curly questions for Daniel. It made me think hard about what I wanted to know about Daniel. E.g Who inspires you? What do they do to inspire you? He said Steve Irwin. Another question was What do you have a passion for and why? Daniel said he would like to do science because then he could do chemistry.

Bye for today.
