Tooth fairy!!!

"From now on when I lose a tooth I am going to put some anti bacterial hand sanitizer under my pillow".............
That is a just a wee snippet of my monologue I am doing for performance. Everyone in the group is doing a monologue and my one is about a girl who has a tooth under a pillow and she keeps asking questions about how the tooth fairy works.  She is a curious person and asks lots of questions. I am really enjoying learning it and today I got to wear a long swishy skirt so I could pretend to be her.

A bit of fun.......

This morning at Enrich after morning tea, we had another session of performance.  We learnt a new warmup called 'Big Booty'. That is where everyone has a number and one person starts and says big booty big booty big booty rest, Big booty big booty big booty and then a number . And you say it to a clapping pattern. Then the person whose number got called out did it next and it just keeps going. We also ran over our songs don't stop me now, life on mars and like an eagle.

At the end of the session we had  bit of fun.......
Nicola bought can can skirts for the girls who are going to be doing the can can in our show. We put them all on Mia because she is the smallest and boy did she look funny. Then we got to try them on.

Week 2 Term 2

Hello blog readers,
Today at Enrich we started with a game of chess using the big chess board. We were in teams - black and white and then had a chess battle. My team (the black team) had six players on the team. We took turns each to make a move, and explain why we were moving the piece, so that we could make a game plan!  We also had another session of performance. This week we had a different teacher because Nicola was sick.I already knew Amanda because she taught at my school a few times. For performance we learnt a new song called "Like an Eagle" and we also sang our old songs too. We are doing well learning all these new lyrics to each song.

Busy morning...

Howdy partners. I'm just kidding.
Hello blog readers,
Today at Enrich we had a lesson on chess with Katie. We were learning different strategies to help us defeat our opponent. We learnt that when you move a player without thinking! You have to have a reason why you moved it there. We went into teams and used the big chess board.

Today we also talked about the Renzulli's model of giftedness. He believes that there are three things you need to make you gifted. They are task commitment, creativity and above average ability. But this model is only one person's opinion.
