Brain training

Earlier today I did a bunch of brain training activities, there were spot the differences , logical games like Chess , Sudoku and Checkers and a game where you move your mouse to hit these colourful balls, when you get 3 of the same colour beside each other they disappear.  The game was called "The game you can't stop".  My score was 140 and in spot the difference I got 7 spot the differences completed. The rebuses today are....TMC                           King Garfeild , Queen FelixAUO                           King Scooby , Queen Lassie HSM

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. 

Personal Thinker's Key

Today I have learned about the personal thinker's key with Nicola. In this session we got a sheet with 15 questions about ourselves.... I will give you 3 examples. No.1 was I wish to go to australia this year.  No.6 was I love cats and No.4 was I'm worried about snakes. Then we did something funny we put the answer to number 6 where 4 was and 4 were 6. That meant that I said I love snakes and that I was worried about cats! Then finally, we were told that we had won $1'000'000, and had to choose what would be the first thing we would do on our Personal list. I picked that I would buy a trip to Australia.

It's gone loco!!

Hello out there!!! When I say loco I mean that My Robot went psycho!!!. It all started as an ordinary Enrich day when Nicola was pulling names out of a hat of the people who had to do their presentations of their gifted study. The seven today, that have presented so far are: Josh, Daniel, Robert, Neave, Me, Olivia and Alex. Out of all we had three about J.K Rowling, one on Steve Irwin, one on Albert Einstein, one on Thomas Edison and my one was none other than J.R.R Tolkien. You would of loved to have seen all of the studies but they were only played at Erich. My favourite slideshow was Daniel's because he said thanks to all of the teachers, Josh and his parents for helping him with his study. Now onto the story about the Crazy Robot. Daniel and I were programming a robot to follow lines on the special mat that we always use. We had downloaded a programme that would make it follow the lines, but all it would do was roam around like a lost dog. 

I Am Albert Einstein!

Today I was learning science.  We had to put litmus paper in 15 items and see if they were acidic,  alkaline,  or neutral.... most of them were neutral.... baking soda was a neutral. Then we had to make our own potions. Mine was made out of vinegar, baking soda, jelly crystals,  lemonade , soy sauce and quick-eze.
