Aloha everyone from the not so tropical

P.S this is not Enrich, sadly. :(

Enrich@ILT. Today we started passion projects, YAY. We are creating our own news show called the Enrich@ILT news, it is pretty ironic considering we are from Enrich@ILT. Today we typed up the script and created our own logo! In the news we interview students, we tell you the weather, we tell you the day plan and for the first episode we are giving the viewers a tour of Enrich. The purpose of this passion project is to entertain inform and most of all to interest you in coming to have a look at Enrich. My partner Olivia is the weather woman for this project and the camera woman and I am the camera woman some of the time and I am also the host of the show. Thats all from me today and now my famous line...

Hey I'm back again for Term 2 so bring on the Discovery. This term for discovery we are discovering our  family history! We are having a 'Spring Fling' to celebrate the different countries that we come from. For the 'Spring Fling' we have to make a presentation on our family history and dress up in traditional clothing from the country that we found out we are from. We also have to bring traditional food from that country, but if you are from Scotland do NOT bring along some Haggis! Blog ya Later and p.s don't

Wow, this term has gone fast. It is the last week of term one and I just can't believe it! Easter is just around the corner, multi-coloured chocolate easter eggs, YUM! Well as you may know this post is called 'Learning Styles' and 'Learning Styles' is a quiz that you can take this link will take you to the quiz that you can take to find out if your learning style is A) Visual, you like learning using pictures, B) Kinesthetic, you like learning by just getting into your project and finding out how things work as you go along or C) Auditory, you like learning by listening and when you listen you don't zone out. So take the quiz and find out which learning style you are most likely to use.  http://sunburst.usd.edu/~bwjames/tut/learning-style/stylest.html.

You'll never believe it, but today LORDE was here! Just kidding. Today I did a bio clip workshop with Nicola. We were looking at a gifted person which was Lorde (Ella Yelich O'Connor). We looked at a video which showed the scholarly habits she has used (see the bottom of this post) and we discovered that she has used all of them! In the video it showed Lorde's old music teacher from when Lorde was at intermediate. After the video we had to look at which scholarly habits we are currently using then we had to write on a sticky note which scholarly habits we need to work on. Take a look at the scholarly habits and think: do you do this regularly, do you use this scholarly habit? That is all from me today so...

The eleven scholarly habits

Ponder Ideas: Keep thinking about things don't just think about it once and then leave it.

Intellectual risk taking: Think outside the box and take some risks.

Preparation: Always be prepared for anything.

Excellence: Take pride in what you have achieved.

Academic humility: Always stay humble and do not boast.

Curiosity: Keep trying to find even more out, there is always more to learn.

Save ideas: Write down your ideas so you don't forget them.

Multiple perspectives: Look at things different ways.

Perseverance: Always stick to your task and never give up.

Varied resources: If you want to find something out don't just look at one website or one book.

Goal setting: Always set goals and try to achieve them.

Interviewer, did you just say we have to be  an interviewer. How did I get myself into this mess? Just kidding, being an interviewer is so much fun! 
Today we had to think of ten questions to ask a classmate to find out more about them. The questions had to be open questions, do you know what open questions are if you don't here is a short description of them: They are questions with detailed answers not just one word answers. My questions were
1. How are you like a lion?
2. How might your life be different if you didn't go to Enrich?
3. Who do you admire/ Who is your hero?
4. What do you want to be when you grow up and why?
5. What is your biggest wonder and why?
6. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time and why?
7. If you could only eat ten things for the rest of your life what would they be?
8. If you were stuck on an island and you could have five things with you what would they be?
9. What is your biggest fear and have you ever had an encounter with it?
10. Who is your favourite celebrity and why?

My buddy that I interviewed was Max and his answers were
1. I am Fast
2. I wouldn't get the right education
3. My mum and dad
4. An accountant because you get to do maths all day
5. What happens when you die?
6. I like playing video games because they are addictive
7. Chicken, wicked wings, chocolate mousse, ice cream sundaes, water, mountain dew live wire, seven up, snack burger, bread buns and triple cheeseburgers
8. A speed-boat, boat fuel, a jet, a helicopter, and helicopter fuel
9. It's a secret!
10. I don't really have one
 Those were the questions and answers of my interview with Max.
