I am very special

I am a very special person. At school people asked me a lot of questions, maths questions actually. I was called a lot of maths names. One day my class and I were walking down the hallway to the classroom when suddenly the school principal, Mrs Baird came walking down the hallway in a very happy mood.
Mrs Baird said "Destiny can you come here for a second please?"
I said to myself okay, very weirdly then out loud I said "Yes Mrs Baird".
Then I walked up to her and she said " Would you like to go to Enrich?"
I said " I would love to''
She said "Great''
I went through a lot of tests and workshops, then one year later I received the privilege to be able to go to Enrich every Wednesday.
Now I don't want to leave this WONDERFUL place ever because it is amazing!!! It is the most talented place I have ever been.

Why am I gifted and talented?

Hi there my name is Destiny and I am ten today! 
I'm learning why I come to this special school and why I'm so special &gifted. 
Special and gifted kids like me go to Enrich.  Enrich teaches me about my strengths and my weaknesses. Some people might say what does Enrich have to offer? Well Enrich has a lot of things like the four corner stones which are mental edge, concept curriculum, affective domain and passion projects. Mental Edge is training your brain and getting it working - we have games, P4C and play chess to develop these skills amongst other things. Concept Curriculum this year is Interactions. This is our overall idea or theme for learning for the year. Affective Domain is learning about others and also your own giftedness and talents. Passion Projects are where you can learn about something that interests you. I am new this year so have not done this yet but I think it sounds interesting. The teachers are the terrific Alana, the delightful Sarah and last but not less the amazing Darryn.

Enrich

Hi I'm Destiny & I am one of the many talented kids that go to Enrich. 
Here at Enrich us kids always have a lot to do. We do a lot of things like Chess,  explore Multiple Intelligences, P4C, Internet searches and research and so much more. 
It's very exciting and busy but it's all worth it and it's fun.  
Personally I think Enrich is fun with a serious side.

P4C

P4C is a discussion where we say what we think is better than the other. For  example if someone said would you choose  passion over hatred I would choose passion over hatred. I wouldn't  hate any one because I am a nice person and because I show more passion than hatred. So I said what I'd choose and why. Now you have an example of what P4C.
