AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
Did you know that this week is Gifted Awareness Week?  Well you do now!
Kady and I worked further on our passion project. We are very behind, which is my fault because I was sick last week and did not come.  We started filming and were almost finished until the camera ran out of juice (battery) on us. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!  I am really panicking now so I am going to do a small blog.
Reflection: If I had a magic wand I would make us have MORE TIME!
Remember it is:

Blog ya later!

Britain's Got Talent

Today I went to a friendship and bullying workshop, hosted by Paul. We talked about what kinds of bullying there is, and how to stop it. We also talked about what qualities we want to see in a friend, and what a bully is. We also saw a video about two boys on Britain's Got Talent who added a rap to a song.  The rap was about anti - bullying.  Here it is.

Conceptual development - discovery

GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!

For our Conceptual development aspect this term we are going to be researching into our ancestry and our family tree! AND on top of all of that, in Term 3 we are going to have a Spring Fling, where we are going to dress up in our ancestors clothes.  Since my Mums Mum is from England and my Dads Dad is from Scotland, I do not know what to dress up in. I know that it is crazy planning something that far away, but I am really really really really really excited about this. Light bulb! I know what I could do, I could bring foods from BOTH countries.  My Nana makes really good short bread!
We are doing a presentation on our family history, like how they ended up in New Zealand, and our family tree

I have talked enough, time for me to go.

DO NOT FORGET TO COMMENT!!!

Brains, Colours and Muscles

Have you ever tried to train your brain?

We did today.  Katie showed us a video about how your brain is like your muscles.

Confused?  Watch the video.

Seen it? Good. Now you will know what I am talking about. Did you find saying the word which was a different colour easy or hard?  What about saying the colour that the word was?  Easy or hard?  If you  have no idea what I am talking about, have a look at the puzzle below. If you do know what I am talking about, have a look anyway.

Say all the words. Not the colours that they are in.  Easy or hard?

Now say all of the words again, but this time say the colour that it is in. So, if the word was black, but it was in blue ink, you would say blue. Not black. Easy?  Hard?

Here is the website that has quite a few brain training games.

Give it a go.  

So long fellow bloggers,  and have a good holiday!

A Quiz

Hi,

Today we had to do a quiz to find out our Multiple Intelligences. That means we have to find out how we learn best.
My results are...


Linguistic: 83%
Logical/Mathematical: 63%
Visual/spatial: 58%
Intrapersonal: 56%
Interpersonal: 44%
Musical: 69%
Bodily/Kinisthetic: 58%
Naturalistic: 67%

I am happy with all of my results except for the maths one.  I  absolutely DO NOT like maths.  I do not mind thinking with logic and I like thinking with logic, but I just don't like maths. End of.  On the other hand, I am over the moon about my Linguistic score because that is words, and I LOVE words!

Why don't you give it a try? The explanation about the types of intelligences is below the results of your score, so just scroll down! Here is the link.  

Bye!


Multiple Intelligences Quiz

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?
