Hello there. This is my Enrich@iLT blog. It shows my learning skills and how I think about different topics. Enrich is a place for gifted children in Invercargill to learn topics that they like, not just sitting at a desk doing maths, spelling, writing and all other topics at our home schools.

Current Affairs Week 7
This is my Current Affairs Week 7. It shows my answers that I did for my current affairs. I had to answer questions such as what do Japan, Samoa, New Zealand and so on have in common. The picture down the bottom is of the Pacific Ring of Fire. It shows where it stretches from and where it ends at. The Pacific Ring of Fire has been named that by scientists because it is a ring that has lots of tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions like the boxing day tsunami. The Japan quake is on the ring as well and New Zealand is at the start of the ring so we could have a tsunami one day too.
Current Affairs Week 8
This is my Current Affairs for week 8. It is an animation that some friends and I did about the Japan Earthquake. It shows a house being shaken in an aftershock and then two people being rescued by a helicopter. The current affairs was about two people being rescued from the wreckage of a building nine days after the quake.
We each edited them separately so none in the group had the same one.

Current Affairs
These are the answers that I wrote for my Current Affairs activity. We had to answer some questions like how would we feel like if we went to school in Christchurch and our school was badly damaged and we couldn't go back. The reason we do current affairs at Enrich is because we have to think both critically and creatively to answer questions and give our ideas of how it can be fixed or ways to get around it.

Week 2 Term 4
It's the second week back at Enrich and today my new Talent Development group (which is science, by the way) did some experiments with ice. We found out what type of ice melts fastest. There was normal ice, Raro ice, sugar water ice, ice with salt and ice with sugar. It turned out that normal ice melted fastest in the first experiment and ice with salt melted fastest in the second experiment. After lunch we started normal workshops and I did friendships and physics. After that, I did my where in the world and then the day was over.
