Documentary Completion.

Once chess was over this morning, I spent pretty much every single minute of my day working on my documentary! I've been working so hard on this, but it was all worth it. I've made the greatest five minute movie ever, in history!

I've been adding and editing all day long to get my documentary done and finally I've got the five minutes of footage (genius)! I've mixed my good ideas with some hard work and determination, I've put it all in the oven and produced one documentary! I also learnt that there is a university named after Justus Liebig, (the man who invented Marmite). Also did you know that Justus Liebig is known as the father of the fertiliser industry. Today we also had some guests from the ILT and the ILT Foundation come in to have a look at what we do here at Enrich@ILT.

A day @ circus Enrich

Where to put this one, where to put that one? "I know were that goes. These where some of the things I said during the patterns workshop today.  Today, we had to order important events from 2000 - 2006.  We were looking at similarities and differences in this timeframe, as well as any patterns we could see.

To start the day I had a game of chess against Madison and won holding onto 5th place on the leaderboard. Once chess was done it was time for infographics with Katie. Infographics, well the name really says it all. At infographics I learnt about a programme called Prezi which lets me make a presentation about whatever I want. It's sort of like Keynote, but more interactive. After that we had Miro's sister Lauren, come in from Circus Aoteroa to talk about what she does in the circus. Once Miro's sister had left we moved into passion time and I've almost finished my movie. All I have to do is add some voice overs and check everything and I will be done!!!!

Patterns in time

"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.
