Goodbye everyone. This is my last blog post forever. It is breaking my heart writing this. I have had so many memories at Enrich@ilt like the time in my first year we went possum hunting and caught a big male possum.

Here is my second best memory : Talent Development with Nicola last year when the performance group went busking.

The third memory just happened today singing ''I See Fire " by Ed Sheeran. I was very nervous but I did it and was very proud .

Thank-you all my followers for 3 years and this is my final good bye.

GOOD-BYE :(.

Guess what the teachers at Enrich@ILT decided to do? Talent development which is so awesome and one of the options was Performance and that's what I chose because I like singing and acting because it is so much fun and I am working with 8 girls & 1  boy which is Josh with the amazing shining star Miss Ginny .

We sang "Santa Claus is coming to town " cover  by Mahriah Carey and we even made our on dance  
moves which are really sweet and really easy to
dance to.

Did you know that a person stole Albert's Einsteins brain and kept it in a jar for 20 years, now that's gross.

Today at Enrich I learnt about the brain with  Ginny. She is filling in for Katie May because Katie is leaving Enrich for maternity leave. I am really sad.

Now lets get on topic. The brain is really big and there are two sides of the brain, the left hemisphere and the right hemipshere. The two sides of the brain work together . 

Now you know about the brain.

More abstract art

 Hello today we did another abstract art today the artist Miss Artsy Katie may the artist today was the famous Russian abstract artist Kandinsky who was famous for his abstract art ring's which reflected the mood of the jazz music which is very cool but the art work is hard but I got there in the end

Oh no

Oh no. This is bad... I haven't even chosen my costume for the Spring Fling. Ahh but this not the worst thing I have not finished my discovery report and I am really worried and I have not chosen the recipe for my traditional food yet but wait there is more I need to finish my singing passion project.

My mum's family history is really interesting because the Barrett clan actually came from Cornwall England but moved to Ireland and married Irish men and women and they actually became more Irish instead of English. For next week I am wearing something purple for my costume.

Mister Paul's in the house!!!

Hello my fellow people.
Today I did GarageBand making funky Latin/hip hop beats which make you feel like you at a lively carnival in Rio, Brazil. It took me a while to get the hang of the GarageBand way, but I got there in the end. We worked with famous GarageBand music producer Maestro Paul who is at Enrich@ILT peeps. He is the best GarageBand music producer in the world. He made a funky beat called Monday Sample. It was full of of passion which many beats lack, just joking right. My track is called Athena which is named after my dog. The instrument I used was funky Latin drums. It was oarsome (ha ha). We even got to listen to NZ famous singer Lorde who is the best singer in NZ and Stan Walker
Bye.

I'm worried

Hi everyone its fellow dog lover Violet.  Guess what I'm worried because there's one problem people have been stealing people beloved dog's for dog fighting which is barbaric .

Yes am nearly finished Reina' s Picasso portrait which is bright and colourful. Also Reina did my portrait which is  neat and tidy the complete opposite of  mine which is messy and very bright, they even had scented  felts  which makes my portrait smell nice.  I'm so happy happy happy  because the bus driver dropped  me at the correct place this time so thanks for looking at my blog bye.

PICASSO ROCKS

Hola my friends! Guess what we did at Enrich@ILT today? You don't know? Well, let me tell you. We did Abstract art with Madame Katie where we learnt how to do a Pablo Picasso portrait which is a painting of someone's face.

I did a portrait of Reina and she did a portrait of  me. It was hard because we had to draw a figure eight inside of the face, a rectangle also inside the face, then once we finished that we outlined the pencil lines in black vivid.  Then we had to rub out the pencil lines with rubbers that did not rub out.
Next week we get to colour the portrait in with felt tip pens instead of paint.

Bye 

PS. Abstract means bright and colourful and it doesn't have to make any sense.

Stressed out

OK do you want to learn about how to deal with STRESS? Well I'm here with "Dr" Nicola who talked to some pupils at Enrich@ILT about the word stress and how to deal with it.
First of all,  take a deep breath about ten times - it actually helps your chest muscles.

Second of all it's all right to cry! There is nothing bad about crying, Nicola said - just let it all out and go to your peaceful place. For example hide out in your bedroom. My peaceful place is the Elles road dog park

I hope you have learnt something about how to deal with STRESS.

Brain Games

Welcome to tonights Brain games where you have to play a series of  games that stretch your isty bitsy brain, taking it to the extreme brain training.

Hi it's me again telling the world what I'm doing in the heart of Don street Invercargill.  Today we learnt about brain training, first Katie-May showed us a video explaining about the brain training program then we went onto kids brain training games they were AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!.

Blog ya later people.

The party at Paul's place

Hello fellow dog lovers!
I am at the best place in the world - Enrich - it is so peaceful (not really)
First we had thinker's keys - they were brilliant.

I was at Party Paul's group where we wrote down what we do at school, and we had to put a tick if it was a subject we liked,  then explain why we liked that subject

See ya later, Alligators!

It's the best day ever....

This is one of the greatest blog post I've ever done.... do you know why? Because I had the best day in my life because I had Singing 201! It is so awesome - we are doing christmas busking outside New World.  It will be so much fun

singing to others - what a great opportunity to show off our talents in a good way (I mean not in a show off type of  "I'm better then you" way)
 That's all folks - see you next time on the "daily Violet" 

hello

Hello fellow people I had the best time at Enrich today. My mum said that I look like the Queen of hearts. I am very sad because my favourite teacher at Enrich was at home conquering her illness. I hope we do singing 201 soon. I had chess, Samaria aka world famous singer she beat me the Queen of hearts!!! I shall feed her to my baby Jabberwockey.

After that I had writing group you are  may be thinking writing well you are wrong I had the best time ever bye.

I'm the boss

I'm in a good mood  because the bus driver dropped me off where I wanted  to then I said hello to the grumpy old troll who lives under the bridge Darryn , the lovely lady in black Katie and who can forget Nicola who loves my new outfit which suits me really well! Then we did technology challenge where we all had to make a chair using newspaper and sticky tape.

I was in a group with two boys - the elegant Hamish and the not so elegant Robert. I was the boss of the group.... when I wanted to check how strong the paper was, I rolled the paper up and hit them on the head with it. We used a whole lot of masking tape but we lost. Blog you later
Violet.

Meany Weeny

I am not going to say thank-you Mr Meany Weeny bus driver because on Christmas day you're going to be in jail because I might sue you because I wanted to be dropped off right out side EnrichILT THE HEART OF DON STREET!

Well that was the grumpy part of my day. I had a chat about my sweet outfit to Miss I'm the high Queen of fashion and performance ... Nicola (Darn Darn Darn) then we had chess. Tara beat me two times in a row!!! that's really steaming my prawns and steak and every other food that you cook on a BBQ. Curses everyone who does not listen to me.

Well after that and morning tea we all got to watch the the performance video! Bye bye fellow fans of my awesome blog.

Popcorn party

Yes, today I walked through the door and I took my warm coat off, said hello to the Lady of the Hour, Nicola. I smelt something corny! I walked to the table by the front smartboard and then I saw people eating popcorn! So I declared, 'We should do nothing today at Enrich, and instead we should have a popcorn party! How does that sound?' Pretty good to me !!!.

Then the Lady of the Hour spolied our fun, but I don't care because I had a popcorn party with world famous singer, Samaria, not so famous hunter Josh, and all things Eygpt freak Jacob! We had a popcorn party at morning tea with who? The host with the most! The most famous vet known to animal kind and of course humans, (ME!) Bye. Next time I will throw a popcorn party at Enrich, I will invite you so you better read this post.

The Gorgeous Singer.

Well  I have had a better time since my break down last week when I didn't get the solo. Samaria is a gorgeous singer and she deserves that solo. 45 people entered the auditions but she was the person Nicola thought was the best out of the whole week's performance students.

We practised Don't Stop Me Now dance moves - it was hard and we practised like 10 billion times to get all the moves right. We also had to sing and dance at the same time.... I was one of the best singers and dancers.... it was really hard! Bye fellow bloggers.

My heart is broken

I can't believe it.... I practiced my heart out and I didn't get the solo for the Little Women song Some Things Are Meant To Be.... Samaria and Mickey got it. I am happy for them but I am very upset as I have been praticing for a long time, and Samaria just got into performance.

I have been in performance from the start of the year so I was hoping I would win,  but those were the people Nicola chose. Bye 

I hope i get it please

I hope I get to do the solo for sharing night for Little Woman for Beth the sister who is dying. I hope Nicola rings my Mum to tell her I got the solo but Nicola still has to choose out of Tuesday and Friday. If I don't get the part I will cry for the rest of the week. I have been practising for the solo since I got the music sheet. Even Mum thinks I should get the part but life is not fair! I hope, hope, hope I get the part! But sometimes I think I am the best that I am too good to lose.

I not afraid to die Joe

''Joe I am not afraid to die '' said the sister  Beth who is dying .

I learnt a new song called 'Some things are meant to be' from the musical 'Little Woman'. It is very sad song. I started to cry hard out because it's the most saddest song in the whole world. Would you be able to sing it? Well I  proved them all wrong and did.
