You learn something new everyday!

Howdy folks,
It is nearly the end of the day here at Enrich ILT and we have been working on our discovering your past projects. I found out that one of my Nana's cousin won a gold at the 1972 Olympics. Well they do say you learn something new every day and I did.
 We also carried on with passion projects. Anna and I created 3 more of our original songs and one remix. We are really coming along with our songs. We are learning how to use Garageband and how to make songs. It's also my last blog post for the term:(

See ya after the holidays,
Tessa

Aurasma, Google, Wordle!!!

      Kia ora everyone,

Today was another busy day at Enrich. We are well under way with our passion project and just recently started our discovering your past project. I attended all of the research and presentation tool workshops with all three teachers. With paul we were looking at Aurasma, which is an app for apple and android. With Nicola we were doing quick and easy tips on researching things on google. Finally, with Katie we were learning to use wordle. I have learnt some great new research and presentation. We also had to write a mid year reflection. But least it was only 4 questions and not 4 pages like last year.

See ya next week,

Tessa:) 

A little bit Stressful!!

Hey Blog Readers,
Today at Enrich@ILT, it was a little stressful as we were started our passion project.
Anna and I were calling Djs and music makers for our project. That was the stressful part as all of them either didn't make their own music or they loaned their music gear out to people to use. But......
Paul gave us an awesome idea to call the audio production students at the S.I.T to see if we could have a visit there to see how they make their music.
We rang them but there was no answer so we are going to try again at lunchtime.
We can tell you what happens in two weeks when we're back here at Enrich@ILT.
Bye,
Tessa

Dj Tessa in the house!!

Howdy ya'll,
This week has been another jam packed day at Enrich. We have started our passion project. DJ Ann and I are going to make a cd of very our original garageband songs and design the cover. Hopefully we will be able to put it on itunes and become world famous-maybe!!.

 Katie revealed the next project we are going to do in Discovery. We are going to be doing a project on discovering our past and what and how our family arrived in New Zealand. We also have to make a family tree and learn about our families culture and what we celebrate. I'm really looking forward to it!!
See Ya All Next week,
Tessa!!!

Busy as beavers!!

Hello Blog readers.
This is my first blog post for the term. I've missed you all.
So far today we've been as busy as beavers. Starting with a brief around passion projects, a quick fast game of chess and personal development rotations.

For personal development (formaly known as affective domain), I did Gayne and Renzulli's models of giftedness and just recapping on what they mean.

Passion Project planning started today. Anna and I are going to do a cd full of songs that we will make on garage band. Then we are going to design and make the cd cover. We are hoping that when we finish it, we can put it on itunes so you guys can listen to it!!

See ya next week!!

Brain Workout!!!

Howdy Y'all!!!!!
Today is the last day of Enrich for the term:(
So that also means its the last blogpost for the term.
Today we were mainly just finishing up some Discovery tasks. But............. 

My favourite thing we did was brain training, that means to sharpen up our brains. Or as I call it a brain workout. We had this website that we got to explore, that had brain training exercises on it. I was doing an exercise called Dragger. There are puzzle pieces and you have to make a detailed puzzle. It gets very frustrating when you keep trying and you just can't quite get it.
From Enrich, that's it from me.

Hi, we're from Enrich!, We shouted into the Aurasma camera as Paul took the video.

Aurasma is an app for Apple and other android products. It is when you take a video then a picture of something. When you are on the Aurasma app, you focus the camera over the object that you took a photo of and it should play the video that you took. My group did one where we focused the camera over good behaviour picture and it played the video that was us saying, "Hi, we're from Enrich!".

We also went round the room finding Aurasmas. There was one that was One Direction on an Oreo packet and the video was about them loving Oreos and another one was Spiderman that played a video of Spiderman going around the town.

When I get home I am so going to get Aurasma on my iPod!
