Tipping the scales of fate

Intelligent or not intelligent is the question at hand , and I am on a  problem solving quest to get to the bottom of it.

The questions are hard, but to answer requires a lot of brains. but beware not to tip the scales of fate! Katie left us to ponder these questions and decide which side we think person should go on, if they are  intelligent or if they are not.There was one question that got me stumped. it was this 

''If a person who can read but struggles with writing does it mean that he is not gifted? What do you think?

Cain's Arcade

Cellotape, cardboard and your imagination are all you need to make an arcade as I was shown today with this inspiring documentary called ''Caine's Arcade''. In this movie I was shown that you don't have to have a lot of money to have a great time. 

Caine started out with one game and it just snowballed into about ten arcade games altogether. In LA where Caine lived no-one was interested in playing Caine's homemade arcade, but by a strange circumstances a film maker came to Caine's dads shop for a door handle for his car and he saw Caine's arcade. He got a fun pass which allowed him to play for 500 turns for only $2.00. this film maker decided to make a movie about Cain. He posted it on Youtube and within 24 hours it got 3,0000 page views.  I think that Cain's is a very gifted individual don't you?

Music to my ears

The tinkle of the piano, the  splash of the harp and the strum of the guitar  as it fills the room, this is music at it's best. I can hear a semibreve, shortly followed by two minims. Two bars later four crotchets and eight quavers.I can imagine Bark playing this melodic tune. I heard when he mourned and I mourned with him, when he was joyous I was joyous aswell. I knew that this was going to be something that would interest an individual like myself. Music makes me happy and something that I hopefully will keep up for a long time. 



Until next time, Joey.

The hoop of DEATH!

The sun was glistening down on the hopeful faces of the teams. The excitement was in the air and in the midst of it all stood the hoop of DEATH.  I thought I could conquer it as Goliath did with the giant. But boy was I wrong... I tried but always failed -  my hopes were dashed.  I looked at the bright blue hoop with wonderment and awe, and wondered how this simple task could be so hard, and then I realised that the hoop was laughing at me. I was now determined and focused but as soon as I got my mo-jo we were rushed inside.

Until next Wednesday,
Yours truly, Joey

I'm back at Enrich!

Hi, today at Enrich we did some pretty awesome things like....Picadilly Circus which is a Wilson game that makes you think and stratagise ways to get all of the balls around the circle. It was very hard but fun. I love playing wilson games because you get to get out and about, breathe in the fresh air and because I am a very energetic person. Wilson games are often the highlight of my day. Today was extra special because we some how managed to get the best score hopefully we will keep this title but it would be very hard to beat 28 seconds with three balls.

It is a great feeling to be back at Enrich, I love working with like minded people but most of all it's working with the awesome teachers.  I think it's fair to say..... I LOVE ENRICH!!!

See you next time, Joey

I can't believe it's the last day!

Today is the last at the awesome Enrich for the year. Unfortunately it is the last day EVER at Enrich for the year 6's, luckily I am a year 5 so I still have one more year at Enrich. Its the end of the year and you know what this means  its time for a little reflection.




The positives have to be passion time, the Wilson games, moving 20 spaces on the chess leader board, sea shepherd coming to visit,painting my beary cute money box (get it my money box is a bear, ha ha sometimes I make myself laugh.) and last but not least meeting new people and making great new friends.



The minuses are typing practice,Key competency, climbing up the water tower ( it's really high,) not being able to finish our environment project and that I am losing some great friends to high school.





What has been interesting this year was the science when we dissected a pigs eye ball.  

It's finish ...it's a miracle!

Hi guys,
How are my favorite followers doing? I am great, actually I am better that great, I am fantastic, because I Joey Sheppard have just finished my bear money box. I am extremely proud of myself because at first I didn't think I could do it but I did. It was very hard to choose what color  I wanted, then it was the painting, don't even get me started on that! But now that its finished I realized that no amount of staring is going to get it to paint itself, well unless its a magic money box but I think thats highly unlikely. And that my friends was the highlight of my day. I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog, see you next week. Bye Joey
