Hi my names Matt and I am a year six this year. I got to Enrich every Wednesday. Enrich is a school for gifted children. Here are some of the things we do at Enrich: Affective domain - Learning about myself as a gifted kid. Mental edge - sharpens your brain with games. Talent development - learning about what interests us. I enjoy doing: chess, passion time and technology challenges.

The Adventure movie...
Today at Enrich we did leader board chess. Jackson challenged me and I won. For passion time Jayden, Blake and I made an iMovie about Blake trying to find a video camera. We have only just started to do the movie trailer. Blake is acting as an adventurer. Jayden is acting as a monster, interviewer and a riddle guy. We are just practicing at the moment. We read some facts about comparing the the last generation to our generation about being green. After Darryn read it to us we split into groups of three and discussed it further. I thought that I could start using material shopping bags, rather than the plastic ones.

Air pollution video
Today we watched a air pollution video about the top ten polluted cities in the world. The most polluted city was Ahvaz in Iran. The least polluted city in the world is Wellington!! My group finished their keynote for the environment project. We completed the draft and know where in the airport it is going to go. Once I have done my blog I'm going to do passion time, I'm going to make a movie in Alice. Blake challenged me in chess but I won.

The Water Pollution Video
Today we watched the water pollution video. It was annoying because people just dropped plastic bags then the animals that lived in the water breathed them in and died. Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YAoyTsyM7M
There was also a turtle that was shaped like an eight. I also played chess and moved up to sixth on the leader board. I also played capture the cone at lunch time. After this post I am going on to my passion time which is also going to be our environment project today.

Fibonacci Numbers
Today at enrich I learned what the Fibonacci numbers are. they are some numbers that if you add the two numbers before it, it will answer with it for example 0,1,1,2,3,5,8, ... We had to see how high we could go I got up to the 27th and then I ran out of time. It was hard because it got really high. but it was very fun and interesting. We did a Wilson game called pegasourus, my team won 73-50.

Light bulb
Today at Enrich I made a light bulb glow! The instructions told us to use 8 batteries but it didn't work because the lead kept on exploding! So we moved it down to six batteries and it worked. We tried with three batteries but there wasn't enough power to go so that meant that the lowest was four batteries but it was only dim. When we tried again with the eight batteries it worked. Then we tried with 13 batteries it glowed so bright all you could see on the camera was white. Six was the best because you could see the light.

Elephant tooth paste
Today at Enrich my group made elephant toothpaste. First a whole lot of liquid poured out then a lot of foam poured out. It looked really awesome. On some videos they were going 2 meters high. Some they did in a pumpkin and it poured out of it's mouth, nose and eyes. In chess I played Kavarn and won so now I am sixth.
