Hey everybody!! As we close the book on this chapter it feels like the term has gone by to fast. Today we did our end of term self assessment. My favourite one was The tricky part was... paying attention in long talks. All together there were ten questions. It didn't take me long to think about what I was going to write. If you click on the picture it will enlarge. Also today we had to key competency assessmant which took a lot of listening.

Tapa cloth.

Today at enrich I finished my tapa cloth which is a Pacific island typed art and so pacific island was our theme. When we started we drew up a draft and then some stencils for some the harder shapes that we might not be able to draw free hand. Then we got a big brown piece of paper and then drew our designs in pencil then we went of it in vivid. Next we had to crumple it up for 10+ minutes until it was very soft. Almost finished. Then we had to dye it so that it was a nice brown that filled up all the creases. It was a really long and hard job but it was all worth it!

Currently I'm 14th on the Friday chess leaderboard so no chess tournament for me this year boo hoo!!! :( I also stated a new Must Do Can Do sheet.

And let the cooking start!

 Today at enrich we stated our passion time and started by sending an email to Graham Hawks the head chef at Paddington Arms asking for his help.Then I wrote a list of what I will need and what I will make. So far the only things I'm making are belgium biscuits and lollies. All my successful recipes will be posted so if you want diabetic recipes check this blog every friday at 5:00.

Yes, your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for... sister.

Passion Time.

Hey people! Today at Enrich we got to pick what we are going to do for passion time. Passion time is when we get some time from next week to do something that  we are passionate about. I'm doing for my passion time ............ Diabetic cooking because I'm a type 1 diabetic.I'm going to make my own diabetic foods with only diabetic stuff and then all my successful recipes I'm going to put on my blog and then type up and then print then and put them into a recipe book and I'm even going to try and make up my own diabetic flavors. The reason why I'm doing this is because I'm sick of going into food stores and coffee stores and seeing all that sugary goodness which is really bad and having to have miserable pastries while  my little brother eats sugary foods.So that is why I'm doing Diabetic cooking for my passion time.

The learning wheel

Hey people! Today at enrich we did our end of term reflection, the learning wheel. The titles for the learning wheel are I felt, I wondered, I tried, I learned and I used. It took me a few minutes to figure out what I was going to write then carefully wrote it down and then went and showed it to Katie and she thought it reached the criteria then I put in the pile for later. While every one was at lunch Katie scanned them and sent them away and you are probably wondering where it ended up the answer is right here. : )

Teacher comment

Wilson your enthusiasm for drama certainly shone through today in the drama talent development. Your group not only adapted a play but also successfully and enthusiastically performed it for everyone at enrich - a great effort.
It is also good to see that you are working on managing your time effectively to complete the must do’s and picks each week. Keep it up!
