Weetbixs TRYathlon

I was shivering in the icy cold rain, I felt like I was taking a cold shower and I had to stand their in my TOGS! I was chattering with my teeth and I was my goose bumps on my arms .All I could think about was how cold the pool was going to be . Soon I was seated on the concrete seats and was contsinly moving forwards onto the seat in front of us . Once I was in the front row I was chattering really loudly and really wanted to go to th bathroom.

SPLASH ! We took off ,I was do freestyle and until I got tired I swam Backstroke for the rest of the way. After 100m of swimming I hopped out of the pool and ran to my bike. On the way there I heard my Mum shout GO ANNEKA! I felt more ethsiastic to finishing the TRYathlon. I sprinted torwards my bike and ot changed in to weetbixs top and hopped on my bike and left off. I biked in front of a lot people and felt like I was in a race to WIN SOMETHING. When I finshed the 4km bike ride I took my helmet off and started to run.

Soon I finished the 2km run which was like 1000km!I saw the finish line and raced torwards it and when I got my medal the sun seemed to smile at me.  I was SO proud of myself!!!                

My favourite Place to Learn in GRi11 2.0

The Hub is my favourite space in the class

Sixtus Logde Camp!

The car drove over the rocky rode and dust blew on the car windows. I imagined all the entertaining activities we would be doing. When we got to Sixtus Lodge we got settled into our dorm rooms . Our teachers told us that we would be going onto a 1-2 hour tramping trip. When we started to walk for a while  I got tired and I definitely oozed out of my comfort zone. When the trip ended I felt proud of myself for reaching the end.

The next day I was juiced up when I heard that we went horse riding . I love horse riding because the horses a SO CUTE! But my heart still beat faster and faster when the thought of horse riding because we had to ride the horses ourselves. The horse I rode was Koko , Koko was a black , male horse . Koko seemed to behave for a while but when I went onto the challenge course Koko was really naughty . Finally after the challenge course I hope off the Koko and say bye bye and left.

A hour later we went to the river walk! I was so excited because we would be able to go into the water and see glow worms! I was a dog waging its tail . I was ready to dip my feet into the icey cold water, and I was still really tired from horse riding but I couldn't wait ! When we went down the slippery path I held tight onto the rope and went down deep into the forest. A little river was floing and i skipped over the tiny lake and into the cave. I took my torch out but it was no point because we were actually in a revine. I look up at the lime trees above us ......I was speechless it was something I've never seen before , beauty and nature was what my eyes were staring at. Sence it was the afternoon the glow worms in the cave were invisable but it kind of seeable because it looked like a wet spider web.

After the tramp I was so tired that I could eat a whole cow. It was the best tramp ever!

My favorite place to lean in GRi11 2.0

In GRi11 2.0 this Term we have been learning about the 4 elements of HAUORA . Green for Social , Blue for relaxation, Red for physical and Yellow for metal and emotion. We have 4 class spaces; the Hall of Fame is all of them. The Hideout is Blue for relaxation and a silent room. The Hangout is green like The Hub is the Social room where you can talk to your friends and also work at the same time. I like this area because I don't like being silent and I like sitting next to my friends.

My favourite place to learn in GRi11 2.0 is the hub ,under the foosball table or behind the book shelf . This area is a small hideout where me and my friends can hide and do work, in this area there is a table and beanbags and a foosball table so we can work. I also like this area because the girls tote trays are right next to it and it it easy to get to it . I also like the Hub because you can talk and ask questions because in the other rooms its mostly silent. But we can work and talk but in the end we finish a lot of work too.Sometimes we make jokes and have a crack up but after we get back to work immediately go back to work.

It's kind of a secret place. Sometimes the teachers don't even realise that we are here.These are the reasons I like the Hub.
