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!!!!
Today at Enrich we had another session of talent development. Today the photography group started doing our manipulated photos for the MADE awards. The MADE awards are Movie and Digital excellence. For mine I am putting my face into chess pieces. Other people are sitting on animals and flowers.
Today at Enrich we started passion time. Passion time is when you do something that you are passionate about. I am writing a novel called ''The girl heroes''!!It is about a group of girls who become spies and go on their first mission because they won a maths test for their school. The spy agency is called sunshine and they foil lightning (the bad spy agency's) plans.
Today at Enrich we went to Queen's park for photography.We visited the band rotunda, the duck pond, theplay-ground and the castle. I took 141 photos of duck's, flowers, trees and water. My favourite photo is of a pink flower.Here is the photo of it.
At Enrich we have been doing chess each week. In fact leader board chess. I know I have written about chess before but this time I am going to tell you a little bit more about chess. Firstly there are16 players on each team on the board starting with rooks on each end, then knights, then bishops and finally the queen and king. Then a row of pawns in the front. We are learning to play the touch rule - which is when you touch a piece you have to move it. We are all are trying to get into the Enrich chess team so we can go to the chess tournament in Dunedin in June.
Today at Enrich we went to the wearable arts festival at the museum. They were made of wood, flax and lots of other materials. My favorite is a orange butterfly glow in the dark outfit.Also at enrich I did stack acups and my highest score is 7 seconds.
