My highlight from term 2 in GRI11

GO FOR GOLD PROGRAMME DRAMA & MUSIC

For go for gold this year it was amazing. I loved it it was so fun because we got to perform in front of the whole drama and music group. Most people had to step out if there confit zone and on of those people were me. We did Miming,Improvisation,Plays and making up our own acts but most times Miss Gordon told us the bad thing that had happened to her that morning and we acted that out. Our teacher for music was Miss Gordon and the teacher for drama was Mrs Liddell and when we first started we decided that we were going to join both of them and make performing arts. today july the first 2015 performing arts ended and for the end we picked something that we wanted to do that we learned throughout the term and perform it in front of the whole group I picked to do a play it was so fun and i enjoined it. I’ll miss performing arts.

Dear Bob the alien,

Hi Bob today I will be your host on taking a trip to planet earth 

So let's get started.

First of all on planet earth there are these creatures called humans the basically just eat, sleep and drink and they are not harmful at all but they might try kill you if the see you.and there are animals but just pretend you can't see them they will be fine.

Secondly there are buildings that are very tall and nice house and islands,beaches and different countries with different Cultures.

You will be staying in a lovely little sand house very close to the beach but sometime it might get flooded sometimes.

Hope you enjoy your visit

GRI11 explanation

Today I will be explaining to you what we do and how we work in grill I will be telling you if you use books or not where we get to work and how we are learning and managing our own learning

Do we use books or computers?

At the start of the year we were using our books but now we do not we all use computers or iPads and it is really helping us to learn how to use them. Now we know how to use Google docs google drive google slides Google sheets and google classroom.

How we work in GRI11

We have Google drive where we put all our work in and we have lots of folders. Next we have Google classroom and we have to look on there to see what kind of work we have to do which is in fast track. Fast track is like this timetable where it has our name and we put a url code in there where the teachers can go onto to see our work.

Where we work?

We are allowed to work anywhere in the classroom. We are to classrooms combined and in the

two classrooms we have 3 awesome hideouts that we are also allowed to work in. The reason we are allowed to w like that is because the teachers trust us and also the want us to have a look at how it will work out do teaching.ork

Managing our own learning

We manage our own learning so that we can understand how it will be in the real world because in normal teaching you just get bossed around by the teacher and that's not how the real world works. We need to know how to manage our own learning because we are going to intermediate next year so we are growing up and we need to know stuff like that.

I like the way we are learning because know one else at our school is as lucky as us and I am also excited about learning how to use iPads and computers.

CROSS COUNTRY

Bang went the gun to start the race the grass was wet and the land smelt like it was a cold morning,it had just rained and the sun was

just rising up into the blue sky.

We started of slow so that we could sprint at the end. Me and my friends were talking and laughing and just having fun.

The wet squishy grass stuck to my shoes as I was

trying my hardest to run. My arms were getting tired from swinging my arms back and forwards.

Now finally the 3 km run was almost over my mouth was dry and desperate for water and finally we were at the finish line.

Now that I had finished I was so proud of myself and I had so much fun.
