First Game of Chess!!!

I have always thought chess is quite a scary game when I have seen people playing it or seen the pieces just sitting there! Turns out it's a really hard game for beginners. How would I know if I haven't played chess before? Well, actually, I have! Darryn taught Zatoya and I how to play chess with a 1 on 1 lesson! First of all Darryn played against Zatoya and I and then Zatoya and I played a game of chess against each other.

I never thought it would be so hard but I guess it would be for a beginner! I have played Draughts before and I thought they would be similar but they are totally different! I think I will really come to like it when I get going!!!

Last Day At Enrich

Today is the last day of the term at Enrich! Even though I am looking forward to the holidays I have enjoyed my time at Enrich. In reflection of my term here I think my time here has been fulfilling and full of excitement! I would like to thank the teachers for taking care of me.


One of the best things about Enrich is that there are no cannibals!! LOL! I know it's a pretty random thing isn't it!? But I have said this because I am learning about what they are and how they came to be, at home, and I'm pretty sure there aren't any here at Enrich! I can't wait till next term, it's going to be awesome! 


Today is only a half day today. Don't worry, it's just half a day for our must dos and can dos, not for Enrich! I am very interested in the technology lesson that Alana is taking because at school next term we are going to do technology as well and also technology is one of my favourite subjects!


I don't exactly know how to play chess but I would like to learn! I am also very interested in the huge chess set that is sitting at the end of the classroom and if I learn how to play chess it would be a fun thing to do at Enrich in my spare time!

Thursday-Party Time!

Tomorrow we are having a picnic at Waihopai school hall. I think that it is a very good topic to do with changing interactions and how people react with each other when they don't know anybody.

First of all I think that people will be quite hesitant as they won't know anybody at first. But I definitely know that there is only one thing that can bring confidence, laughter and energy all at the same time- humour!!!!

At the party I will be looking at all the different patterns and interactions that will be going on.

What will they do when they walk in to the hall and see people they've never seen before?

What will they do when it comes to meeting them?

I am very interested in all of this and I want to learn more!
I have a feeling that tomorrow night is going to be very enjoyable and full of intrigue!
