STRESS

Do you ever wonder what to do when you are stressed? Perhaps you wondered whether you should cry, or tell someone,  or maybe even do nothing? Well, the first two were good, but you definitely shouldn't do nothing. There is lots of different things to do when you are stressed.

One of the best things to do when you are stressed is to take deep breaths. It is also good to do exercise or just go outside and get some fresh air. I learnt all of this in Nicola's stress lesson today. I think that it is good to know what to do when stressed, so that when you are actually REALLY stressed you will get over it quickly.

Last Week of School!

Hi guys, guess what....IT"S THE LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL ( for this term) and I'm really excited!

Today, I grouted and cleaned my mosaic. Which means I'm pretty much finished! Katie got some bottled grout which was really hard to get out but I guess that's a lot easier than making the grout. 

See you later :)

As you all know (or should know) I am not the best at chess. So, today I was pretty surprised when I got what must have my 3rd or 4th win in my life. It started when I challenged Grace to a game of chess. Then we set up.  I was white and she was black. When we got started I tried to do scholars but Grace stopped me. Scholars is when you do four moves to get the other person in checkmate. Anyway I just kind of had to get on with it and come up with a new plan. After 5 or so turns I got one. Kill all her pieces so it's a couple of pawns and the King. Unfortunately I lost some pieces along the way but I still got her in Checkmate.

What week is it???

Hi guys, guess what week it is this week........GIFTED AWARENESS WEEK! Gifted awareness week is a week to be aware of gifted individuals I guess. We watched a clip about different peoples perspectives on being gifted. One person was saying that you had to be born with a sort of "gift" to be gifted. Another person said that you could try really hard and do lots of practice in an area you're passionate about, and you could become gifted. So you see, it is kind of like a debate. I think you have to be born with it but as you can see nobody knows - at the moment.  We also discussed how gifted people stick out.

See ya' later! :)

Mosaic Time

What's up, people? I'm am really excited today because we did the first session of passion projects! I am doing mosaics. You should all know what mosaics are but just incase, mosaics are a type of art where you usually use tiles and make a picture, letter, number, shape and lots more. You use a special glue to glue the tiles down and then fill in the gaps with a thing called grout. I am going to be making a G and L ( I've already got a B ) and then I will have all my initials. 

Good-Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you a perfectionism?

Yes, it thought I would be with all those lists of what you would do if you were one. They all just sounded exactly like me! I had just taken a test on perfectionism and at the end of it I turned out to like everything to be perfect. We had looked at a slideshow that explained what a person that likes everything to be perfect ( like me! ) would do. It was things like if you had a project you would have to make it exactly as it says on a criteria you were given or if you were in a group you would always have to be the leader. I am not always perfect though.

After lunch I am going to do brainboosters and thinking on your feet. They are both with Jenni and so was perfectionism. 

Good-Bye!!!!!!!!!!! 

ONE MINUTE TO GO!

"Giddy up horsey!" I said as the horse moved." Now, if I move you I will be able to get their Queen but I will lose my bishop. Oh well,  a Queen's better than a bishop"I said to the pawn.

 I was playing chess (obviously). I hadn't played chess in a long time so I was quite excited. I was white and Neave was black. I killed her Queen and as I had predicted, she killed my bishop. We kept on playing. It was a bit different for me because for once I had a game plan. Then Katie yelled"One minute to go." My new game plan was kill as many of her people as possible because I knew we wouldn't get it finished. 30 seconds,  20 seconds, 15 seconds, 10 seconds, 5 seconds, 1 second... BOOM! The music started and we added up the points. I got 20 points and Neave got 19. It was really close.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

We do chess at Enrich because it gets our brains thinking and you have to make strategies and game plans (though I don't which is why I normally lose).
