My favourite thing to learn in grill 2.0 is…..

In our classroom this year, we have a fancy learning space that no one in our school has for example a list of things like:

Bean bags
Double/triple mini classrooms and big classrooms
54 Apple devices
Hammocks
Fooseball
10 Spinning chairs
and Leaners

Sometimes we don't even know how lucky we are to have this kind of learning space but now I'm going to explain all of you digital people of what my favourite thing to learn in Gri11 2.0 is.

Some of you digital people are probably thinking how do you learn like this in a fancy class like that, but it's our responsibility to get trusted of what we do in our spaces and when we learn, which also includes digital citizenship.

For our learning we have something called fast track, It's a google sheet where you put all your learning links on the google sheet with your names.

You get set tasks from your teacher on a digital device then you fill it out and then after you copy and paste your link onto fast track.

In the old days when you had assignments you filled it out on a piece of paper but since the technology has evolved, our teachers thought we can step forward in our learning and get to learn on devices, ladies and gentleman.

To be honest I think fast track is my favourite thing to learn in Gri11 2.0 because it's such an easy way to learn in Gri11 2.0 and that's what I call a short cut to learning, Ladies and Gentleman.

It's good to learn like that because the teachers can go and check what you have done because the google sheet is shared with the teachers which means they can see what you have done in your fast track instead of calling a student every two minutes to check their tasks.

We've got writing tasks, Maths tasks and even other stuff including integration.

I also do these activities in learning spaces like I wrote on my blog, learning spaces in Gri11 2.0. (go to older posts to check out  learning spaces in Gri11 2.0.)

It's really a pleasure to learn like this in Gri11 2.0 and hope the best in our
Learning.

My trip to france

On the day that I left to France on the 9th of December I knew some fun was going to be organised.

We head on the plane and wait patiently for the plane to take off and vanish away in the sky.

It took a long 1 hour and finally land at auckland airport ready to wait for the next flight which is Auckland to Hong Kong.

                                        7 hours later

We head onto the plane for hong kong and enter in the gates where the planes park themselves.

The plane does a fast smooth take off and disappears in the sky without a single trace. On the plane to hong kong their was some movies to entertain myself and have a great time.

I watched on the plane some movies like, despicable me 2,minions,and paper towns which were some great movies but I can't go through them I have to continue on.

                                                  14 hours later

We hope on our last plane from hong kong to paris which paris is our destination. We had arrived at hong kong 8 hours ago because we had a delay. 

                                                   13 hours later

I couldn't wait another millisecond to land this big plane and go put my first footsteps on french soil.

I finally got to touch the floor with excitement. We take the bullet train to a place called Angoûleme and whats exciting is my grandparents are their to pick me up and so they did.

Sports Rotation

In our school csns on tuesdays we always have something call sports rotation with a range sports like soccer,hockey,golf,circuits,basketball,badminton,tennis and touch

Well today Im going to tell you my favourite sport which is going to be "Drumroll please everyone" Oh yes yes it is circuits. Well now that we have had the drumroll which is curcuits now I'm going to explain what you do.

Well circuits is an easy type of sports which involves fitness and speed and agility which ranges over different ranges rotations in circuits like hurdles, ladders,hoola hoops,planks,push ups sit ups,baseball hitting and that's why I like circuits because there is a range of sports that you can do, and one thing you didn't know is that each rotation is 3 to 4 minutes of doing, which kind of means that you have to do them fast.

On a sunny day usually we all get tired and sweat at the same time which means we have put in a lot of effort which is what the teacher says.

Our teacher mr Robertson is incharge of sport rotations but there is also kids that coach sports rotation which is called a sports leader which kids from different classrooms around the school, coach sports rotation.

My favourite rotation is in circuits hurdles because it speeds your legs up and gives good muscles and then gets more challenging when you get to higher hurdles and that you can try to not hit the hurdle over.

it's a lot of hard work but it's also a lot fun when you first try it.

So this is my favourite rotation in sports rotation hope you guys have a try out.

TTS CSI Writing

On the 10/5/16 we got surprised from TTS which stands for traditional teaching style, and we went through a lot of torture and terror.We had all sorts of subjects in TTS like Maths, dictation, handwriting and dictionary skills. The teachers were strict but finally it was all over and all hopeful for surviving old school terror.

After we did a CSI which stands for colour symbol and image and said to write in what you felt like in those three boxes. For my colour I thought black and white because in old school you saw people on tv working in black and white. For symbol I put a pencil cause in old school you always wrote with a pencil feathers. Lucky last but not least was Image which I thought of people working hard to get a reward from their harsh teachers so like that they wouldn't be in trouble. Well I have been through some serious stuff but finally it's over for once.

The stag weekend

The morning I woke up I knew it would be a funny day ahead of me because I'm going to Stag Weekend at the Centre Point theatre in Palmerston north. Its a bit inappropriate but it was a funny play that hooked me.

It talks about these young boys that are stuck in a forest with a small house in a cave. Which is good for them because the house has food and other sorts of things that will help them survive the past days.

Well they think its good because they like hiking but there is bad news because they don't have a lot of food but since they live in the forest they're Stags Deers and that means they could go hiking and get down some stags and eat them with a good appetite.

They are four in the house and one of them or two say that they are starving and my throat is dry and I want to go hiking. They're going to hunt down a stag but earlier one of the two people decided to dress up one of their friends in a stag and put him roped up on a tree. I felt a butterfly twitching in my stomach cause I was scared he was going to get shot down. I had thought that probably it would be to easy to realize that he's a stag. I had a second that it wouldn't be easy because it's dark.

And finally I hear the people cheering saying "WE HAVE JUST CAUGHT A STAG!"

Well that was bad news because, you guessed it he shot the fake stag.

Then five seconds later they found out, that they shot the fake stag and that the person got shot in the arm.

Swimming sports

on a beautiful bright sunny day the wind howls slowly. Well today is a big day ahead of me today because it's swimming sports. It's where everyone in our school participates the challenging swimming sports but now it's time for me to shine bright today at swimming sports. In the swimming sports their a range of strokes that you can enter like freestyle,backstroke,breaststroke, and flutter board racing. Well I did freestyle and breaststroke which was a bit hard for me but I took a risk and went on. I took a long suckulent breakfast and went into the car vanished away on the road without a single trace. At school we get into our group and when we walk all the way to the bus I  have my heart in my throat. I think too myself what is going to happen, I think too myself what is going to happen then a range of things in my brain started flow around in circle.

We hop of the bus and head into the lido. I took a big deep breath and waited for my turn. I heard say the important words freestyle boys, and then it was time to shine. I hop on the diving board and took so many breaths until the teacher said the big word Go. I swam my hardest and so many breaths until it was over. It was the same with breaststroke.

We finish and go back on the bus. After school we leave to home we take a big warm shower and go to sleep and wait for the next day ahead of us.
