Hi, my name is Isabella and I am a student at Enrich in Invercargill. I am in the Monday group, and I am 10 years old. I am a Year 6 at Waverley-Park school. Enrich is a school for gifted kids. Enrich doesn't do the normal school curriculum, e.g: reading, writing, maths. We use the four cornerstones which are Affective Domain, Mental Edge, Concept Curriculum, and Talent Development. My favorite subjects are writing and reading, which are also my strengths.

P4C
P4C is philosophy for children. Philosophy is questions that can have yes or no for an answer. So far, the questions that we have had to answer are: Would you choose wealth or friendship? Would you choose power or pleasure? Can you lie to yourself? These questions are hard to answer and different people think different things. If somebody asked you, then how would you answer these questions?

Can you lie to yourself?
A very interesting question. Can you lie to yourself? Yes or no? Perhaps, as you could tell yourself something that is not true. But you would still know that it is not true. Then again, don't you have to know the truth to tell a lie? I myself have no idea. But I really want to know what you people think. I would really like it if you posted some comments sharing your thoughts and ideas. It would be interesting to know. What is your opinion? The answer to this question can be yes or no. That is what makes it so interesting.
Today's game.
Today's game at Enrich this morning was called "Sardines". It is a game kind of like hide-and-seek but different. One person is "It". They go and hide. Once the person is hidden, everybody else goes and tries to find them. When somebody finds them, they have to hide with them and not say a word. Eventually, everybody will be hiding with the person who is It. The last person to join the hiding spot is It. The game turned out to be really funny because everybody got all squished in one spot. The game involved good searching skills. I liked it.
Profiling.
Today at Enrich the first workshop I did was called "profiling". It was a very interesting workshop. It was a chart in student shared with 4 rows. One told you which number profile it was. The next row was called "feelings and attitudes". The row after that was called "Behavior." The last one was called "Needs" but we did not do any of that one. In the rows, there were words and you had to change the colour of the text if those words described YOU. I liked doing that workshop. It helps you learn about yourself.
