I also played a chess game against a girl called Jonnie Lee. I won eventually !!! This year I have managed to get 5th on the chess leader board. I have also bet one of the best chess players at Enrich. But unfortunately it was not a leaderboard chess game. I CAN'T WAIT UNTILL I COME BACK NEXT YEAR !!!!!!!

CHESS
Today at Enrich I played a game of chess with my teacher Darryn. But sadly I lost. It was a very very long game. Darryn said he struggled lots during the game. Darryn has bet me 4 times before and we have had 3 stale-mates. Another word for stale-mate is a draw or a tie. Another word for winning in a chess game is checkmate. BUT ONE DAY I HOPE TO BEAT HIM !!!

chess
Week 5 at Enrich already having a good week again. This morning I bet Hyrram in chess in 2 minutes. I bet him so quickly because I used the scholar on him. A scholar is one of the best moves because it only takes 4 moves and your done. If your not sure how to do a scholar well here is how it goes. First you need your queen and bishop inline with the king. Then you take the pawn and it's check mate.

Week 2 at Enrich already having a fantastic day. Today at Enrich I saw Darryn making a really cool dragon out of newspaper which was papier mache. Darryn was making the dragon because he was showing us the possibilities for art. Since that looked really easy and cool I decided to make one. So I made a dragon out of newspaper. I can not wait until I make a dragon out of clay!!!!
Week 1, Term 3
FIRST WEEK OF THE TERM ALREADY. I'M SO EXITED. I think this will be another great term with my teachers Darryn, Alana and Katie. One thing different at Enrich is that we now have 10 I-pads. I cant wait to have an amazing term at Enrich. This term for talent development, I have chosen to do Art with Darryn. We are basing our art on dragons. We will get the chance to do sculptures and paintings. I am really looking forward to it.

Teacher comment
Luke you have worked hard to build relationships with a range of your Enrich peers while also working on your time management and self management skills. Your new learning in research and presentation is evident in your science talent development project, and this coupled with the improvement in your work output has helped you achieve success in a range of areas. There has also been a huge improvement in your chess playing and problem solving. You have definitely embraced the range of challenges and opportunities that Enrich offers.

2 stars and a wish
One of the best things I've improved on at Enrich is chess. When I first started I had no idea how to play chess but now I'm 6th on the leader board. Another thing I am really good at now is Othello. Othello is a very old game back in the 19th centuries. I got really good at it because we had it at our house and I did not know until now. I had 3 stalemates with Darryn but I have never won. So my wish is that in the holidays I must practice so I can beat him!
CHESS
Last week at Enrich finally accomplished my goal by beating the person highest on the leader board!!!!!!
I bet Andrew and that was quite exciting for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ADAPTIONS
For my Talent devilment I'm doing adaptions on deep sea fish. One of the facts I know on deep sea fish is the deepest fish ever found was a snail fish 5 miles or 6000 feet below the surface. I chose adaptions on deep sea fish because there is lots to learn about deep sea fish and I have an interest in deep sea fish.
CHESS
Today at Enrich I played a game of chess with Darryn. It was very close game until he got my he queen with his rook. In the first 7 goes I got his queen and he was not to psyched about it. The game ended in stale mate.

Gifted Week
To me being gifted means being talented in some way and you think differently from other people. This term at Enrich, we have been looking at different models of giftedness. My favourite on so far is Renzulli's model of giftedness. He believes that in order to be gifted, you need the following: Above Average Ability, Task Commitment, and Creativity. I have areas that I am talented in, for example: Nature Science, Rugby, and using the computer. I really enjoy coming to Enrich for all the opportunities we are given here.

nature science
Today at Enrich we learnt about adaptions on giraffes. These are two adaptions I know on giraffes ,giraffes black tongues because ................ if a giraffe did not have a black tongues he could not eat because he would have a some burnt tongue. Next won is if people need to reach up high do we grow long necks or long legs no but when giraffes have to reach up high they get long necks and legs.

CHESS
Today I played a game of chess but I lost because I just found out that
you can't castle out of check. Castling is when you have no soldiers in
front of your King and your rook, and you put the King on the knights
space and put the rook on the bishops space. I had a really good plan in
my head but it got ruined because you can't castle out of check. Check
is when your KING IS IN DANGER. And its checkmate if you cant
stop your KING FROM DYING. If it's checkmate that's what ends the
game. Next time I'll know that for sure.

Chess
Today I played a game of chess with the giant chess set. It was for a workshop with Darryn. I learnt how to get my knight out and use it in a game. I lost a game when someone used their rooks to beat me, so I am going to try to use my rooks in a game against someone else, so that I can win! I also learnt that you need to have lots of plans in your head, because your first plan doesn't always work.
