Writer's Studio

Hey blog readers,
Today at Enrich we started with our gifted person study and we basically just got information and facts on our person. I am doing mine on J.K. Rowling who is the author of the Harry Potter books.
We also had our last session of writers studio. Here is my mini story:

COPY STARTS

Hi!

I’m Emma. I’m 10 years old. I live in this run-down hotel thingy with my family who’s just about out of business. I have a tabby cat called Anna and she’s the cutest thing ever. My dog Poppy is a maltese powder puff and so cute too. Our family business, (as you probably guessed already) is the old run down hotel. It is basically out of business and my family is basically broke. If we don’t pay our bills we have to sell it and move on and that’s exactly what we did.

We now have a healthy and stable in the farming business. And guess what- I got a horse!!
COPY ENDS

The photo-shoot!!!

Hello everyone,
Today at Enrich we did a Multiple Intelligence survey. It is when you answer questions and at the end it tells you what parts of our brain you use. Musical came up as my best, then body movement,  and finally language which is reading and writing. It was cool to know which parts of your brain. We also had a session of Performance and we learnt a new song called "Some Things Are Meant To Be" from the musical "Little Women". We are going to be singing it at the Enrich sharing night. We also had a photo-shoot to go on the wall in the Performance corner. We took the pictures in a variety of different places using a brick wall as the background. It made me feel like a superstar.

Hi everyone,
Its been a while since I've had a chance to talk. 
Today at Enrich we started with a rotation to help us with our gifted person study. I got to do infographics with Katie. We looked at a website called Prezi.  It is website where you can present something in a cool way using different templates and tools. We got to have fiddle and make our own Prezi about any we liked. I used a desktop template and when I wrote it, it went in things on the desk like a notebook for example. 

We also had a session of talent development. For performance today we got to learn how to use garageband and make our own song using the different beats and instruments. Then we shared our song with the rest of the group. 

Enrich@ILT in the city

The Hunger Games review, Did you Knows?... and a warm winter recipe.

These are all my articles I am writing for the Enrich newspaper. I joined this newspaper a few weeks ago. We will be delivering the newspapers to the public at the end of the term.

I am really enjoying writing this paper. I hope that the public will like it too. It is called Enrich@ILT In The City. There are 27 people in total writing for our newspaper. Keep an eye out for it in your neighborhood. 

Spatial, Psychological and Monologues!!!!
These are all different types of drama. We had different activities for each of these types and they were really fun. We started with spatial. Spacial drama is about using the space around us. First we went in groups and when Nicola called out an object we had to mack it in our groups. My favourite one was the washing machine. We also did other activities.

In performance today we were rehearsing our monologues because we are performing them for the group next week. We got to wear costumes. I am going to be wearing pig tails and a big skirt because I am a little girl who likes to dress up. 

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.
