My time in GRI11 2.0

Dear future self,

My year in GRI11 2.0 has been the best year of my life! Hanging out with my great friends at camp, going to Tauranga with the jump jam team and all of the above. I've had the best teachers any child could ask for! (No lie).

I'm 11 now and I'm not quite sure how to get this across, I really want you to follow your dreams. Even if some people think it's not worth it because it is! Go to university, get a great job that you enjoy and stay healthy!
Let me remind you how great my year this year was!

2016 memories,

GRI11 2.0 has given me so many opportunities like,
Netball
Chorale
Touch
Kids for kids
Cross country
Athletics
And many more awesome activities!

I've tried to try tasks and sports that I would've never thought of doing. I've met my BFF Nadia Biel this year, she's obsessed with netball! Are you still best friends with Nadi? Camp was so cool this year, better than “Green pastures”! We went hiking in glow worm caves, water sliding,
Archery (shooting) and river walking! It was awesome!
Lara, Madeleine, Eilidh and I hopped on a kayak and rid into the middle of the river, we jumped of in the middle. We were freezing!

I'm glad I was a GRI11 kid this year! Thanks to
Miss Gordon
And
Mr Robertson for teaching me this year. You had to put up with this mess✨

Athletics day

On your marks, get set, BOOM! My heart was running as fast as Stievie on cross country day. My pams were num, my legs were pumping and they couldn't stop. I was determined to do the best time I could. Racing the clock isn't as easy as you think! The adrenalin I felt as I crossed the finish line felt awesome!

Junior jammers!

Today we taught the junior syndicate 3 cultural jump jam routines to represent what we were learning about this term. We are learning cultural diversity, we thought we would teach the juniors what we have been learning but in a fun manner! In... JUMP JAM ROUTINES!

It was super fun and we only had 5 days to plan it all. I'm super proud of our work and the team work. There was some arguments but we agreed and pushed through it. The juniors also burned some energy off!

We gave out "Go For Golds" to the juniors that went hard out and tried there best, I was sad when it was over because I loved seeing all the happy little smiles on there faces. Congratulations to...

1. Nadia
2. Ivy
3. Anneka
4. Tho
5. Lara
6. Holly V
7. Zahra K

Brisbane Gold Coast Australia.

22/3/16

Last week I found out I was going to Brisbane Gold Coast in Australia. I'm going on the16th of December and I'm so excited. I'll tell you some thing that we're going to do.

We're going to swim with dolphins,We're going shopping, we're going to go to the beach and we're going to go to every theme park we can plus many more! I'm most pumped for the plane ride because I haven't been on a planne since I was 4 years old.

I'm least happy about swimming at the beach. There are so many Maco Sharks! I don't want to be bitten on such a big trip. Even if I don't get bitten it's too risky.

What's interesting is at night Brisbane looks like New York. It's so flash and bright with all the city lights. Every building is huge!

Thank you for listening and I hope your as excited as I am.

Cheerleading Nationals

This was one of the best weekends of my life! I went to the coolest cheer competition of my life. Saturday morning my mum woke me up at 5:00 a clock in the morning, I had to get up, get dressed and leave to the airport. My mum and I were flying to Auckland. It was 1 hour flight and I loved it, my competition went for two days, that's why I had to leave so early. When we landed we got a cab to the hotel we were staying in.

It was cool because my best friend was staying with me. She is a cheerleader aswell so that's why she was there. We got our hair and makeup done. It hurt to do my hair because my mum had to put it up into a ponytail and tease my hair, the teasing part hurt really badly! Before we went to the arena we stopped and got some Mcdonald's, sooner we were at the arena ready to show those judges we we have.

The first day was fun, we got zero deductions and we were coming first place so far. After the competition ended we went shopping, we got clothes and then we got Starbucks! We headed back to the hotel and calmed down for the day. We had a HUGE day tomorrow.

I woke up on Sunday morning at 6:00 and had a shower. My mum did my hair and makeup again, then we were of with Ani and her mum to get some breakfast. We got Mcdonald's again! Then we were at the arena ready to go, we needed to beat the other teams for a 3rd time in a row! It meant so much to us. "Next up Zero Gravity J FORCE"! It's our Cue. We have finally finished the routine and we felt great! Fingers crossed we win...

It was finally prize giving and we were down to Praise, 2nd place is... Praise, FIRST PLACE IS JFORCE! Were so happy we won! As victory I got 2 knew bows and a jacket. Best day of my life!

Writing Explanation


Hi, this is one of my peices of writing I did at school! Sit back and relax (Enjoy)


What is the agency target?: The agency target is a target of all our focuses. E.G-The learning spaces, Collaboration and a lot more! There's three parts to the agency target, There's also three colours.
Red
Orange
Green
The red side is we're your guided, you need to be reminded of your goal by your teacher all the time!
Orange is we're your not guided but you might need help sometimes. You try your hardest to stick to your goal and successfully do it!
 Green is when you can be on task all the time and have the teacher never talk to you for the wrong reasons, you strive for excellence and you drive your on learning to your limit!

What is agency?: Agency is where you drive your learning. You need to look after your learning and make sure you know something new every single day.

I'm going to explain each symbol,
Learning pit, the learning pit is where there's something hard you're doing and you're stuck on it. You have two choices,
To not try
To try your hardest to work the question out

I'm going to explain managing and designing our own learning,
It's we're you know what's best for your learning and be the best you can be as a learner.

The next subject is knowing yourself as a learner. It's where you don't just know what's best for you, it's where you do what's best for you and your learning.

Of course you can't forget about collaboration,
Collaboration is we're you work with other people. Of course in collaboration you don't take all the work for yourself.

Next I'm going to explain striving for excellence, striving for excellence is we're you try your hardiest in everything you do.

Last but not least learning spaces! Learning spaces is about choice. You can choose,
Choose to sit with your friends and talk the whole time and not get any work done.
Or two you could sit with your friends and talk but still get work done.
Learning spaces is also how your feeling for your learning.

You could go into the silent room for no noise.
You can go into the hangout to work in a team.
You can go into the hall of fame and go on the Macbooks and focus and not just talk.
Or you can go into the hub and do anything your feeling for your learning!


I think our Agency target helps us learn 10x more than TTS and that we learn new things every day.
