Current affairs
Here at Enrich each week we get current affair tasks, you may be wondering what that is so I will tell you a current affairs task is when we get problems from all over the world like Christchurch or Japan and get to fill out questions on a document. Darryn sends us these and we get to be put in the position of what others are going through and we get to say what we would do if we were in their position and see what is going on in the world. I have found them most interesting and would like to share them with you so here are the links to them so you can come in the discussion.

Multiple Intelligences
I learnt at the Multiple Intelligences workshop that we have cells and neurons in our brains which need to make connections. There are no connections in our brains for reading. You probably don't know what I am on about so I will tell you.
Scientists have done lots of research on people's brains and have found that we have no neurons connected in order for us to be able to read. We have to make those connections our selves. Connections for things like talking and walking were already made in our brain. For some people it is hard to make those connections for reading because they may be more visual smart than word smart. It might be harder for them to remember what words look like.
These are the smarts Linguistic, Logical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Musical, Visual/Spacial, Naturalistic, Kinaesthetic .
We also learnt that the Multiple Intelligences test is not always correct because it depends on how you are feeling or how your interests and strengths change over time.
