"Stalemate!" Was how I started the second week of the term. A 20 minute game of chess against Alex woke me up. After taking an early lead all I could get Alex down to was a stalemate. Once chess time had depleted it was time for some teacher lead workshops. I was went for Miss Nicola's survey workshop where we did a multiple intelligents test to find out what we are most gifted at. Once that was finished it was time for Passion time. During this space of time I got my voice overs completed and started organising an expert for next week. Once all this time was gone we started some patterns workshops. The opitions were time, migration and writing patterns. I choose Time with Katie. We all tried to guess how long a minute is, without a clock to help us. I guessed 1.06, which was pretty close. We discussed some of the ancient methods of timekeeping - candle clocks, hour glasses, and water clocks. We made lists of all the things we could think of that relate to patterns of time - day and night, seasons, tides, calendars. Your whole life revolves around time. Patterns in time repeat over and over. Next week we are going to design our own machine to measure time.
