Art

Today I did art with Mel. We were doing painting. I used the colours blue, red, yellow and white. It is finished now. It looks great! It is of famous people like Shakespeare, Da Vinci and loads more. They are going on the wall. They all have one thing in common... they are all gifted!

Profiling

Last week I went to the Profiling workshop. It was about what you are like as a person for example you might want to right wrongs, or be eager for approval. I've shown you this picture to show you what I put.

P4C

Today I went to P4C. We talked about can you tell a lie to yourself. I think you can't tell a lie to yourself because if you were telling a lie to yourself you would know it was a lie so it can't happen and you would know that you know it but some people disagree. At the end we were all still disagreeing.

Chess strategy of the day

Chess strategy for today is the pin. It is when you could kill two things on the same line and if one moves out of the way the other one will get killed. It is a great strategy.

Chess strategy of the day

I found a new chess strategy. It is called the fork. If you look closely at the picture you will see that the Queen you will see that she is able to kill two pieces.

P4C

Today I went to P4C. It stands for philosophy for children. We talked about the things we value. It caused a huge conversation. P4C is to hear what other people have to say about their beliefs and to realize the consequences of our decisions. Here is a photo.

Teacher comment

Kate, the cook! There have been many skills that you have acquired along the journey of your project, that are aside from cooking! The way you have gained confidence in writing emails to a variety of recipients, and can make phone calls to gather information is a handy skill to have. You have very clear ideas of what you want to achieve, and have put a lot of hard work into achieving these goals. At the end of each cooking session, you have clearly articulated what you have learnt, and what you are still wondering. This shows that you are constantly reflecting on what you are doing, and thinking ahead to future food adventures. I loved the way you were extremely independent, and strived to do as much as you could on your own, with the guidance of others. I hope your family embrace your passion for food, Kate, you are becoming quite the cook!
