My busy day!!

Today at Enrich I finished my final chess workshop that I was running. I had five people attending the workshop. I talked about sacrifices in a game of chess and ending moves. I think everyone learnt something new and had a good time.

Remember that the chess tournament in Dunedin is coming up on the 6th of July and at the moment I am first on the chess leader board.

This week is a special week because it is gifted awareness week which helps people out there to understand what giftedness really is.

Today I attended a workshop with Darryn. It was about i-Pads. One app on the i-Pad that really caught my attention was one called Simple Physics. On that app you have to create structures and see if it will withstand certain weights, for example:  tree house, stairs, a roof to hold snow, and a dam barrier. If it breaks you have failed. That is only one of the new apps that Darryn showed us today.

It has been an amazing day at Enrich. See-ya!!!

Eddie and the Bad Move

''Boy that was close,'' I exclaimed to myself!!! 

 To get you on the right page..... I decided to challenge a friend called Eddie to play chess against me.  In the middle of the game I made a terrible mistake, as I moved the wrong piece somewhere and I lost two very good players. 

It wasn't looking very good for me until Eddie did a bad move and it ended up with a stalemate (draw).

 I was thrilled because I'm number one on the leader board and Eddie is second, which means if I had lost, he would be number one at the chess competition. It has been a great day at Enrich. See-Ya!!
