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.

Chess

Here at Enrich, we play quite a bit of chess. We play it mostly because it gets your brain going. Chess is kind of like Enrich's version of maths. Chess can be played for different amounts of time. Some people think you can sit down and play one game for hours, and sometimes you can, but sometimes you can only play for a few minutes before somebody wins or loses. Chess is a fun game that involves new strategies, and skill.

Event Organisation

Today at Enrich has been awesome, just as usual. Our game this morning was called "Seaweed", where there are three people in the middle to start with and they are allowed to run anywhere. Then one of them calls out something like the colour of a top and if you are wearing that colour then you have to RUN and try not to get tagged before you get to the other side. If you do get tagged, then you have to stand with your feet not going anywhere and reach out your arms like seaweed to tag other people as they run past. The last person who was successful to get to the other side without getting tagged is the winner. The game involves quick thinking and quick movement. It was fun.

Interactions

We are learning about Interactions, at Enrich.  Interactions are when 2 or more things have an effect on each other.  To learn about Interactions we went on a field trip to see: a pre school to see how children interact with each other, a walk around the city to see the interactions in shops, cars on the street and people around town. We also went to the boardwalk by the estuary where we saw water and plants and insects and birds all interacting with each other.
