My Passion Project

At Enrich there is only three more weeks to go! Well make that three more days till the end of the term so I have to to get my passion project done... fast. Jack, Tom and I are ringing up library's from all over in Southland and South Otago to donate some books to us so we can donate some books to Discovery 1 in Christchurch who are also wrecked and in the red zone.

Gifted Week

This week is Gifted Awareness Week. To me, being gifted is cool and annoying because you are above average ability and people expect more in some things that you are not so strong at. People that aren't gifted think differently than people that are gifted. At Enrich you work with like minds so you think like them. I'm a year six at school and at Enrich I work with year fives, year four and even year three's. That doesn't matter because we think alike. The things that I enjoy the most at Enrich are: Co-operative games and the use of ICT throughout the day. Each day we come to Enrich, we are emailed the day plan. From here, we have to make sure that we plan our day - I am learning to self-manage my time much better. I really enjoy my time at Enrich.

Giftedness

Today at Enrich I did affective domain and we learnt about giftedness. Here are some models of giftedness. The top one on the left is Tannenbaum's, the one on the right is Renzulli's and the one on the bottom is Gagne's. I learnt that if you want to be something big you need chance like Tony Hawk was born in the right place where there were heaps of skate boarders that introduced him to skate boarding. You also need the right environment, money and support.
