Cartooning

Today for one of the must do's I did cartooning and I learnt something about myself toady. I learnt that I really love to draw and here is a picture of what I drew.

As you can see it is a whale with people living inside and a guy using his telescope. Then suddenly a match has fallen from the sky and the whale is on fire now. We got a choice to draw something from a book or draw what we had in our mind and I drew what I had in my mind because I wanted to do something a little more out of my comfort zone. The hardest part of drawing mine was the people.

Drama!!!

Today for one of the Must Dos, I did drama with Olivia and we created an egg beater ( if you fast forward it while watching it is so much more life like.) The point of this activity was to learn not to be scared of doing things in front of other people. This exercise was really fun at the same time If you would like to view it just click play.

Documentary

For my documentary I am well on my way and it is coming along fantastically well.

Today Amelia and I interviewed her Grandad, Roger Price who is a very good trainer of horses and really knows a lot about them. Now we are going to get in contact with Wayne Adams and interview him too. We will be nearly but not quite be done all the filming.

What am I?

Today for one of the cool must do activities it was about making a What Am I ?and it was very funI would like to tell you what it was but that would spoil it so if you would like to view it click here it is.

Talent developement

For talent development I am making a documentary with Emilia for the MADE awards, for our documentary we are going to do it about the history of harness racing. As we get into this topic we are going to dig deeper into this and hopefully get a lot of new learning out of this. We are trying to interview Russell Freeman and ask him questions about the history about racing and great wins horses have had. We will be learning about how to get in touch with people and how to film , edit and learn to interview people and ask them great questions that will help us get further. Our next step is to learn how to video people with a video camera.

Teacher comment

Karen your passion project was not only full of new learning for you but assisted a large number of other students to succeed with their projects and so it really did make a difference in the lives of others. I was very impressed with how organized and self motivated you and Kate were, and how well you worked together. you have shown the same level of dedication to all your learning at Enrich and have made the most of all the opportunities you have been offered including representing Enrich at the Otago Southland chess competitions.

Welcome Back

This third term is here now and it is so amazing all the things we are going to be doing. Today I did a really cool keynote that I got sent that I had to have done and it was called "Where in the World. There were clues and we had to find out where to go and research places. It was really fun. We also now have new Must do Can do sheets. They are made of paper and have to be signed. This term for talent development I have chosen to do the documentary making for the MADE awards coming up. I will learn all about what it takes to make a good documentary and how to edit my film, cut slides, use garageband and all that kind of stuff. It is going to be lots of new learning for me. So I am really looking forward to getting into this term.
