Today at Enrich 30/3/11
Today at Enrich we started of with a cooperative game then got to business. First of all I went to the second P4C workshop (P4C stands for philosophy for children) which was about 'should you be rewarded for your effort in school'. We had multiple answers of yes and no and to be honest by the end of the session I was on the fence. I then went to a workshop on Maths Art Tessellations and looked at the paintings of M.C. Escher. After a break outside I answered some questions about bullying and how we could stop it and sent them to my lead teacher. I then looked up a new chess strategy of when you are in trouble consider attacking as it may be your best form of defense. After this I am going to challenge somebody to a game of leader board chess. This picture of me is me persisting to get something done.

Today at Enrich 23/3/11
Today at Enrich I have done another report on the Japanese earthquake and sent it to my Enrich teacher. I have also explored an awesome website which you can go onto if you type in www.counton.org. I have also got a new strategy for chess which is try and keep your bishop, rook, queen to the end of the game because they make a good team. I have also emailed my Multiple Intelligence Quiz results to the Enrich teacher. If you want to know what multiple intelligences are look at the post below. After this I am going to a workshop on history, then to a workshop on the multiple intelligences and then after that I'm going to workshop on photography. Today is going to be quite busy!

Today at Enrich 16/3/11
Today at Enrich we started off with a cooperative game of candlesticks then we got to business.
I went to a workshop on philosophy for children that was about ideas and if they would work out well or badly. Then I found a chess strategy at www.mychessblog.com. After that I went to a comic life workshop where I discovered what button makes everything you need come up it's the 'details' button. Then to a workshop called moments in history that was about the space shuttle called Discovery that is retiring. I then did a quiz on Multiple Intelligences. Multiple Intelligences are how you like to work. My results are displayed beside this. That was all.

Today at Enrich 2/3/11
Hi guys
Today at Enrich we started off with a co operative game and then got to business. I wrote some things about the Christchurch earthquake then I found some new chess strategies. For example try and get your rook onto the 8th and 7th row(where the opponents pieces start). I also explored science kids which is a website. I went to a workshop on Fibonacci numbers and discovered there is Fibonacci numbers in nature and a workshop on questioning which was about open and closed questions.. That was all, but man it was tiring.
