Curly Questions for Katura

Have you ever interviewed someone?

Today I finished my interview. It was actually quite interesting to find out about Katura (who I interviewed).
I cannot get my proper interview paper up, so I will copy it out.

Curly Questions Interview

 Olivia: How would you describe yourself? 

Katura: “Smart, but not cheeky smart, smart up here ( points to head ), friendly, and weird.”

Olivia: What are your hopes, beliefs, and dreams? 

Katura: “ I hope that I actually live to one hundred, I believe that my sister is an alien, and I dream that one day I will be famous.”

Olivia: What qualities would you say you possess?

Katura: “ The same as my first question.”

Olivia: What are your fears and worries, and is there a difference between them?  

 Katura:  “My fears are spiders, and I actually love snakes, and I am worried that I will not live to one hundred. And there is a difference

Olivia: Who do admire, and why?

Katura:  “My Grandma, she’s an amazing person.  She’s awesome.”

Olivia: What do you want to do later in life?

Katura: “Bungee jump. I don’t know why, I just really want to bungee jump.  Or skydive.”

Olivia: Do you have any wonderings, and if yes, what are they?

Katura:  “No, I do not have any wonderings.”

Olivia:  What do you value in a person and why?

Katura: “I value people that are trustworthy, because I don’t particularly like people who lie.”

Olivia: What do you want to do before you leave primary school?

Katura:  “Go to camp”

Olivia: Do you pretend about anything?

Katura: “NO! But I do play dress-up with my little cousin.”

Do you like it? It took two Enrich sessions to finish, and I am rather happy with the outcome. 
(And rather happy that I am finished!)

Questions, questions and more questions!

"So, Katura, do you have any wonderings and if you do, what are they?" I asked.
"Well," Said Katura, thoughtfully.  " I do not have any wonderings, so let's move on."

Today we had to do an interview on someone that we did not know very well, and I chose Katura. 
What? You're confused? OK,  let me explain everything.  Today we were looking at open and closed questions, and we were told that we had to do an interview on someone we did not know very well. We had to come up with ten OPEN questions, and interview someone with them. I ended up with Katura, (YAY), and proceeded to ask her these questions;

1. How would you describe yourself?

2. What are you hopes, beliefs, and dreams.

3. What qualities would you say you possess?

4. What are your fears and worries, and is there any difference between them?

5. Who do you admire, and why?

6. What do you want to do later in life?

7. Do you have any wonderings, and if you do, what are they?

8.  What do you value in a person, and why?

9.  What do you want to try before you leave primary school?

10.  Do you pretend anything?

Why don't you set up your own interview?

Buckets

Hello hello hello, and welcome to my blog for this year.
Today, I am going to be writing about the Thinkers Key I did.  It is the Brainstorming key, and first we had to write down a bucket list. A bucket list is something you want to do or achieve in your life.
Here are my ideas:

I want to go to New York.
I want to be an author or a journalist.
I want to open a business: Olivia's Odds and Ends.
I want to be rich and famous.
I want to adopt a child at 15.
I want to learn to play the saxophone.

Then we had to come up with a Paradox for one. A Paradox is a sentence with two opposites.

I got this one:  Going to New York would be nerve-rackingly fun.

Blog ya later!

Background colours

Today at Enrich... no no NO.... I will NOT start with boring old "Today at Enrich."  This time, I will start with... Hmm. I know, I know!  I was sooo nervous...

I was sooo nervous as Thomas called out my name to present my affective study.  It is on J.K Rowling aka Joanne Rowling.  

10 minutes later...

"I liked how you had all the colours for the backgrounds." said Katie

Whew, I thought as I walked off the stage. That didn't go too bad.

Talk to you next week,

BYE

P.S If you are in Invercargill you MUST come and see the beautiful tree that Nicola put up at Enrich at 7:00 am yesterday morning!

201- advanced

Today we had the choice of a three week workshop. I chose Writers Studio 201.
Here is my work I did today: (Nicola is going to edit them for us at the weekend, so it is in its raw form)

Back in 1936, it must have been so romantic to meet your lover under the moonlight then sweep of to the orchard and just sit together under delicate blossom trees. I almost fell off of the branch I was perched on in the plantation. Just imagine it, receiving a beautifully wrapped something a few days later, with red roses.   Aaahhh, just the thought of it.

I suddenly felt a small poke on my right rib bone.  “ Amelia, dad has fallen out of the tree again”.  It was Pearl. Grumbling to myself, I climbed down from my special spot,(a hole in the tree) to make sure dad was OK.  I don’t know why we always had to do this, dad had never wanted us, most of the day he just sat in his armchair, on his computer, working. 

Do you think daughters should be treated like this? I love it when mum is home, she is so nice and when we hurt ourselves, or anything like that, she takes us out for a Peneloles ice cream, which is almost every day, because if we do not do as he says, dad beats us black ‘n’ blue. I don’t know why mum married him in the first place. I s’pose its because when she’s around she never sees him doing things like that and she doesn’t like us talking about him (when she’s around) nastily.

We had to have a sentence starter, and mine  is the start of my story until the first comma.

Talk to you next time, 

Olivia

Where's My Solo Nicola?

Nicola is back after ages being sick in bed. I am glad because in three weeks we are going out onto the street to do some christmas song busking.  We are doing (so far learnt) Jingle Bells, Joy to the World and Deck the Halls. I have not gotten my solo piece yet, but I hope I will get it next week

BYE!

That's right, I'm BACK and bloggin'.  Today we had to choose between a Passion Project or Singing 201 with, (the one and only), Nicola Lynch! Of course, I chose Singing 201 Since singing 101 is beginner, I wonder why advanced is called 201 and not 102? Anyway, that's a question for later.
I am so excited to be back at Enrich that I am nearly jumping out of my undies.

Blog ya later!
