The band rotunda.

Today at maths talent development at enrich we started to make our band rotunda model. That is not the real one but a model one, why? because we were going to get our equipment from SIT but their building is getting demolished and we have to wait for next year to get the equipment to build the puppet stage band rotunda. Our models have to fit a 4.1 cm lego mini figure. We increased it to fit the figure by 2cm. It takes a lots of a math brain to figure it out so the unlucky thing for me is I'm not much of a maths whizz!

Bullying

Today at enrich we did a bullying workshop. We talked about who are bullies , why do people bully and what is bullying? Some of the questions we were asked were can younger people bully you ,can adults bully you , can adults bully each other , can people smaller than you bully you . Another thing was do you have a nickname and can people bully you with nicknames.My answers are yes I have 2 nicknames and for the 2nd part of the question yes people can bully you with nicknames but I'm lucky I don't get bullied with nicknames but when I was a year two I was bullied but the next year the bully moved away never to be seen by me again.We also talked about what to do when you are being bullied we wrote these things down, they were stay with a group of friends ,ignore them ,say stop it and walk away and heaps more.

Week 3, Term 4.

Today at Enrich for maths talent development we started to make a band rotunda the size of a coffee table ornament. Then after morning tea we did P4C and the final habits of minds session. In P4C we had to write down these things: nice + relaxed, tense, nervous and get me out of here. These were the responses we could have to different social situations that Katie read out. In the final habits of minds session we were given a habit of mind each and were put into groups of two and we had to write a story or a poem or do a play on our habit of mind. Mine was "Thinking Independently."
