Hailing Music

"Ahhhhhhhhhh it's hailing with music!" I screamed.

"No it isn't!" said Nicola.

"Yes it is Nicola!"

"Don't be silly, there's no music falling from the sky!" Nicola said angrily.

"Nicola, I'm telling you the truth! Garage Band is full of music and it just keeps filling my ears!"

"Well that's different!" explained Nicola.

"OK I admit I was telling a lie. But I better get on with Garage Band."

"Good idea."

Performance was out OF THIS WORLD! 
We got to watch our performance from the sharing night and then we got to go onto the awesome GARAGE BAND! Garage Band is a music app where you can write your own music and make really cool songs using the different instruments. The selection includes; drums, piano, acoustic, beats and lots more. I have made a beat which I think sounds pretty awesome but other people might not agree.
Well it's time to say goodbye to Garage Band so,

Byebye!

Star Teacher Nicola

Pop, pop, pop, it's popcorn time! Yes, the lovely, kind, Nicola let us go to the movies and eat loads of popcorn! She did, I'm not lying! She let us eat loads of popcorn! Now I did say that she took us to the movies, well she did. We watched the America's Cup and ate loads of popcorn at the Enrich movie theatre. Not at the real movie theatre - would you seriously think that Nicola would take us to the movies? Well actually, I can because Nicola is one of my most favourite teachers and I will always remember her as one of my star primary teachers! So thank-you so much Nicola for being such a good tutor to me for performance and everything else. I never want to leave Enrich because you have made my time here so amazing! 

Beep, beep, beep, the alarm is going off telling me I need to go on with my actual day, not how amazing and wonderful Nicola is, even though I would love to. 

In chess I versed Jemmimah and won as she only had a king and a pawn that she couldn't move, so she just gave up, but we still gave each other a handshake and said "Good game" like always.
After chess we drifted off into our gifted study for Affective Domain. I think I am going well with my gifted study on Leonardo da Vinci and can't wait to carry on next week. 
Nicola, Olivia and I were looking at rebuses on the internet and trying hard to work them out. All our thinking skills worked well because we joined all our ideas together and found the answer. I found that fun,  and hope I can work out the rebuses and riddles for today when we work them out at the end of the day. 
After that we had morning tea and then did Talent Development and Passion time where the performance kids got to go on Garage Band and www.sfskids.org to create our own music and learn more about music.
After lunch we hopefully get to play a Wilson Game and do teacher-led workshops, rebuses/riddles then HOME! 

'Til next time,
Bye!

Newspaper Girls Strike Again!

I'm an atom bomb!

Oh no, we need to run or else it will explode!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, explode!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Performance time!

Hello, hello, welcome to performance at Enrich. Performance at Enrich is the most exciting, amazing, stupendous thing that you could do. You get to perform, dance, sing, act, do anything! I LOVE performance. So today we practised Don't Stop Me Now by Queen and Let Me Entertain You by Robbie Williams. I think that the Friday Vienna Girls Choir (Nicola calls us that for a joke) did quite well but we need to practise remembering the actions and what to do next, but overall we did a good job (I thought!). 


Newspaper Girls Strike Again!

Ella-Rose and I were dressed up by Nicola in fabulous theatre outfits that were bouncing around the room being centre of attention. Sparkly hats, bright yellow and green skirts, Hawaii necklaces, we were definitely newspaper girls!
You're probably thinking, why would be wearing all those things?  (we are only girls handing out newspapers!)  Well I have the answer! We need to be centre of attention so that people will buy our fabulous newspapers because if no one buys them, what's the point in writing all that wonderful stuff, putting all our effort into it and then no one buys it, how dreadful. But that WON'T happen, we will be selling mistresses and be the best sellers in town!

Well I better go practise swishing around in my dress,
Bye!

"It's A Crime Scene, Call The Police!"

111, I call the police as I have a crime scene to report. 

"Hi, I have a very important thing to tell you. I can't decide whether to use Prezi or Keynote to present my project and I really need your help!" I said.

"Well, I think you should use, um, um, um, Keynote. You have waisted my time so now I am going to waist yours!" yelled the police.
I waited and waited until the police said that he had given up. I knew I would win because no one can ever stop Clara the lucky superhero! 
I walked over to my computer and chose to use Keynote. Clicked on a theme and started writing.


I know you can't read the writing, but that's the idea right? You keep people in suspense so they can moan to there parents. It's not that nice for the parents or people reading this blog, but it's nice for me because then I get to sit back, relax and keep writing, so lets get on with the MAIN point.

For Affective Domain we had to choose a gifted person to study and I chose the one and only~

Leonardo da Vinci

I chose him because I thought he did a lot of amazing things and his quotes are very inspiring. I have started getting information at home and then just sending all that I've done to Enrich since we only come here once a week which is on Friday. I am now onto his Inventions/Paintings and have already finished the introduction, childhood and Verrocchio's workshop. I think I am going pretty well with this project and can't wait 'til it's finished as it will look awesome!

Anyway,
Blog ya next week!
