Climbing Up The Ladder Of Learning

Once again I meet the Ladder of learning. I meet it but I just   climb up again to get to the top so here are places where I faced him.

Drumming
TAT TAT TAT, go the drumsticks hitting the rebounder pad as I practice a new beat. ''SWAP OVER'' says Mr. Painter so Kavarn jumps off the drum kit and I get on. I learnt two new beats on the kit, one was hard and I kept mucking up but that was because I wasn't used to kicking the Bass Drum right after the sneer! The drumsticks kept bouncing twice when they were only meant to bounce once but at the end I got it! Then most was smooth as a babies bottom.


Affective Study
As I tick off my sheet I wonder if Jenni will think it is good after I go get her and she reads it and watches the videos and eventually says "Yes'' which means I'm finished because I had checked off my AT stage so all I have to do now is proof read and then I'm done!


Patterns Workshop
Nicola wasn't here today so Jenni was here and she took the workshop we now have to do a BIG BIG crossword sheet but Sophia and I teamed up so it might be easier between us both!

Tapping to my Beats

Woo hooo! First week back at Enrich. It has been as great as it can get. I finished my Prezi I am at the AT stage for my Affective Project. I will be trying for ABOVE but for now I am at AT stage! My passion project has changed! And we had a technology challenge today!

Passion Project!
Today I started a new Passion Project. It is drumming. The reason I changed is because my astronomy project didn't work because I wasn't passionate about it, but we found the drumming teacher and asked if I could join his group. We learnt on a set of electronic drums that still make the sounds of normal drums. It is all triggered when you hit the pads, it goes very very quickly through cords and ends up in your headphones. Plus when you hit your hands with the drumsticks your reaction will be "OUCHIE". I learnt two new beats that I can practice at home as I have a set of drums at home I can practice on, but I may need to move them inside and out of the garage. I had a trial session today, which I passed (Yay!) so I can continue with the drumming teacher next week. We call him Mr. Painter. I look up to him cause he is teaching me my drumming and I love it!

Technology Challenge
For our technology challenge today we had to build a chair and we had 45 minutes to do this. My team was Sophia, Miro, Alex and Nathan we all worked well together, but Nathan kept mucking around but we finished in time so we made a table for decoration but we still had time so I made a glass of water, a mini newspaper that you can actually read and a sandwich but Miro kept stealing it. In the end another chair won but I think we won for the Prettiest Chair although it was not announced to the rest of the class!

But until next week Adios Amigos!
