Disco Dancing🎤

Disco Dancing

On the 31st of march the school had a disco. I had to be picked up by Kristy's Mum. It was such an exciting disco, with lime green disco lights and completely of the earth music! I had a blast with all my friends, Kristy, Lola, Sophie and Shawny.

The theme was Rock star so I dressed up in snake skin pants(fake snake skin pants!) ,a blingy blue top, a black and white necklace and a wicked charm bracelet. I got some Sprite and took lots of rock star photos and danced through the night.

 Half-way through the chaotic night Lola fond a five dollar note on the floor and bought me two crunchy bars and her-self two moro bars. She got a sugar high because her favorite chocolate bar is a moro bar and she had a can of coke. 

We did the limbo and Lola won a prize because she didn't fall over, Sophie got a prize for the complete opisite ( she fell over.)Lola's Dad picked me, Lola and Kristy up from the mad disco. On the way back to the car we all started going on a sugar high! We started talking really fast and saying the most random things!

learning with Gri11 2.0📖

This year in Gri11 2.0 we have 4 learning spaces. The spaces have some pretty cool names that are to do with Hauora. This year we have been learning about Hauora which means 'well being 'in Maori. We have colours to remind us of the 4 aspects, Blue is Spiritual, Green is Social, Red is Physical and Yellow is Mental and Emotional Well being.


The Hide-Out which is the silent room where no one is allowed to talk which is targeted at the blue element of Hauora (spiritual.) The Hub is the main environment where everyone can targets all learning styles and all of the colours of Hauora. The Hang-Out is where you can hang with your friends and talk and do your work, it targets the Green (Social) element of Hauora. And last but not least The Hall of Fame which is sort of a mixture of both talking and working quietly, again targeting all the colours.

My favourite place to work is The Hide-Out because I find myself able to work better in quiet spaces. But I don't always like to work in silence.  Sometimes it's not fun working by yourself in silence.  So I can go to The Hang-Out were I can talk with my friends and do my work.

We have the best learning spaces and the best teachers!  By Sarah! :)

Grill 2.0 at sixtus lodge🏇🏻

On Monday Grill 2.0 went to camp at Sixtus lodge in Apiti. When we got to Sixtus lodge we got to set up our beds.

When we went horse riding on the second day, that was the best thing that I did on camp. My horse was a chestnut with the name Ollie. I think Ollie was the best horse there, but then, I didn't ride all the horses. At the start of the horse riding you had to trot around a paddock then come back to the confidence course. 

The confidence course had blue barrels that you had to weave in and out of on your horse then you had to go down a path. the hardest part on the confidence course and the most fun was the part when you had to ride up to a pole and take a can off then put it on another pole. My group was the last group to horse ride. When my group left the horse riding, I asked the lady in charge if I could help her pack up so I got to lead some of the horses into the paddock and take their bridles off then put the bridles in the barn.  I LOVE HORSES!!   By Sarah :)
