Thinking Keys

Well another weekly day has nearly past by at Enrich and today we learnt about the Thinkers Keys.
There are three types of Thinkers keys:


1. Brainstorming Key

2. Ridiculous Key

3. Variation Key


We only got to do two though. My group did the Brainstorming Key first and then we moved onto the Variation Key.

The Brainstorming key was about brainstorming your ideas for doing something like for example How to encourage people to skip, which was my one. We came up with the ideas of 

A Skipathon and every mile you skip you get $10

Where you have to learn to skip at school

A skip day so you can't use any kind of transport except skipping.

Give out free jump ropes.

Free rewards if you skip.

Every time you skip you get Fly buys points.

Ban transport (including walking and running).

Every time you skip in the supermarket you get free food.

Skipping Lane on footpaths.


And so we came up with some good ideas which I would never even think of doing. Talking about things I couldn't imagine doing, one of our Must Do's is with Darryn looking at a Pig's eye!!! Absolutely disgusting and I wish it was a pick not a Must Do!


Anyway I better get on to doing my Must Do's and Picks now (scary)

Until next time,

Goodbye

Scamper

Hi everyone,
Today for Must Do's and Picks I did a workshop which was called Scamper.
You might remember at the beginning of my blog that I talked about Scamper.
This time we did another workshop on Scamper but except we did it on the environment like the Library, Queens Park etc...

S is substitute

C is combine

A is alter

M is mini/mega

P is put to other uses

E is eliminate

R is reverse

Our group did the Scamper on Queens Park.
The best idea's are....

1. We chose to reverse the merry-go-round upside down so it could be monkey bars or to hang on and spin round.
2. To change the castle into a stage.
3. To make a treehouse village.

Pretty Cool!!!

P.S. Do you like my new backround for my blog?
