Talent Development

 I am doing robotics for talent development. Last week we filled in this sheet to make us think about what we already know about programming and what we want to learn. One of them is a game on Scratch. Someone made a game that we had to try and get the ghost.  Today we learnt how to use Alice. Alice is a programme that you can use to make worlds on. One of the tutorials on there was about making an ice skater move. There are tutorials that tell you how to use the different parts of Alice. We have planned the things we are going to be learning about this term for our programming.

P4C

P4C means Philosophy For Children. We do P4C every week. Last week we were asked questions about  friendship. We talked about somethings like what is friendship and how do you know who your friends are and had to answer if it was friendship or not. Some of them were really hard to answer because it sounded a bit like friendship but it might not have been.

Scamper

Last week at Enrich we did Scamper.Each letter has a thing that you have to do
we used shoes to do each of the things with.
S means substitute.We used it as a rugby ball.
C means combine. We combine the shoe and felts and made a penholder.
A means adjust. We adjusted the shoe to make a swing.
M means modify/magnify/ minify. We made the shoe tiny.
P means put to other uses. We used the shoe as a telephone.
E means eliminate. We took away the shoe and it was just a shoelace.
R means reverse/rearrange. We put the shoelace on backwards.
After that we had to use keynote to make something about what we did. Each group did one.

Chess

This term I learnt how to play chess. Darryn taught us how to set up a chess board around the start of the term .Darryn also taught us some ways to finish the game really fast. One of them you could finish the game in three moves. It was called scholars checkmate. Darryn taught us pins, skewers and forks as well. 

Tessellations

I did tessellations with Darryn. I did cats.Tessellations is like a pattern.The rule is no gaps and no overlaps.They all need to be the same size or else it won't work. It took me a while but I still finished it.I thought it went quite well.We used a piece of paper with squares to make it a bit more easy.This was an interactions workshop.

Multiple Intelligences survey

This is my multiple intelligences survey.When I did the survey it gave me heaps of questions.After I answered all of them it came up with a graph.My highest is nature smart.My lowest is music smart.

Internet Searches

Alana talked to us about using key words when we use google and putting speech marks in helps too.So that there aren't as many sites to choose from because we searched something and it had more than One hundred million results. It helped us because if we need to use things on the computer and we don't know how to use it would be really hard.
