Gidday matey!
No I am not in Australia but I would like to be....
Today at Enrich we did another session of talent development. This week for performance we learnt new body and vocal warm-ups and a new song. The song was called River Deep, Mountain High performed by the Glee cast. We sang it three times to learn it, then we started dancing to it. At Enrich today we also did a keynote refresher and we learnt how to use keynote. Keynote is a program on a apple computer where you can do presentations and things like that. I learnt how to add in build ins and outs and transitions.
Bye!!:)
Hello blog readers, my name is Tessa and I'm back and in my final year at Enrich. Enrich is a school for gifted kids and this year I'm on a Monday as I'm a year six this year. We have three wonderful teachers called Nicola, Katie and Paul. My favourite things to do at Enrich are: Passion time, Talent development and one of my favs blogging to all you guys. My passion and talents are music and drama. I love Enrich because we get to do things we wouldn't get to usually do at our home schools!!!!

Talent development!!
Hey blog readers,
We started our talent development sessions today. I chose performance with Nicola. The aim of this group is to go out and perform in public. We had ten minutes to prepare a one minute performance to show to the performance group. We could sing, dance, act, say a poem and do anything you wanted. I chose to sing with Mia and we sang 'Not Over You by David Guetta.

Patterns field trip!!
Aloha blog readers,
Today at Enrich we went on a trip to queen's park. We went looking for patterns in our surroundings or environment. We were looking for patterns of beauty, order, strength and survivability or the way I remember it B.O.S.S. On the way on the park we were also looking for patterns. Some of the patterns Katura and I found were bricks-bricks are a pattern of strength, survivability and order. We also went to the rose gardens and took pictures of flowers because flowers are a pattern of beauty and survivability. At the playground there is a basket swing and it is a pattern of strength, order and beauty. It is a pattern of strength because the strong metal poles holding it up and the chains letting it hang and it is a pattern of order because of rows of black rubber. I really enjoyed this trip.

Hey blog readers,
Three word stories, colour lines, unfortunately and fortunately and musical bumps. These are the names of the drama games that we played at Enrich today. I enjoyed playing these games. They were hilarious, enjoyable and fun.
In the game three word stories you have to sit beside two people and each person has to say one word and the story has to make sense.
Unfortunately and fortunately is when you get in pairs and one person says a sentence and the other person says but fortunately blah blah blah and then the other person says but unfortunately blah blah and so then it goes on.
My favourite game was musical bumps. It is like musical statues but when the music stops you have to sit on the floor with your legs and arms crossed.
The last game was colour line. It was like a memory game. Six people stand in a line and they each have a colour and they have to say their colour out loud. Then the audience has to close their eyes while the people with colours change their order. Then someone from the audience has to try say the order and if they get it correct they get a colour and then it goes from there.
Bye everyone, have a great week:)

Caine's Arcade!!!
Hey blog readers,
Today at enrich we watched a video about this 9 year old boy called Caine and he made an arcade out of cardboard boxes. It all stared when he had to go to his dad's work for the summer holidays. He had won a small basketball hoop at a real arcade and just started making them from there. A man came to Caine's dad's shop to buy a door handle and he bought one of Caine's fun passes (which gives you 5 hundred turns) he thought this is really cool. He made a video about Caine and his arcade and posted it on YouTube and he also organised a flashmob for Caine! There was a 4 hour wait to have a turn on the games! To find out more, watch the video on YouTube. Search up Caine's Arcade.

Today we had another action-packed day here at Enrich. We started off with a Wilson game called the hoop game. I really enjoyed playing it.These are the instructions:
- you have 3 or 4 people in a team
- you need a hoop per team and put that hoop about three meters in front of the team
- the teams have to jump with their feet together and hold hands the hole time
- the teams start at the same time and when the referee claps and says 'jump' they all have jump at he same time
- the referee might trick you and say jump or they might just clap so be careful and if you fall for it your team has to go back to the start
The aim is to be the first team to get into the hoop!!!

Second day of Enrich!!
Hi everyone,
Today was the second day of Enrich for the year. We started the day off with a Wilson game called Piccadilly circus. We made a high score of 28 seconds with three balls. We also started our concept curriculum which by the way is patterns. We did a 1, 3, 6, group task where we wrote down our ideas and what we knew about patterns, then went into threes and joined our ideas together and then went into groups of six and wrote all of our ideas on a big piece of paper. Another thing we did was a, I am poem. You had to finish the sentences that were on the paper. We did this activity so that the teachers at Enrich get to know us.
