My Fathers day writing

For Father's day GRi11 2.0 have been writing different text types about our Dad's to give to them on Father's Day. This is my Father's day writing 

My Dad

My Dad likes to play lots of sports, he has coached rugby for 25 years, first in Scotland, then the Hurricanes in Wellington, and after that it was the Taranaki team in New Plymouth. My Dad stopped coaching for a while and went into business, no matter how many times he explained what his business was about I still don't know. Unfortunately the business didn't work out but just recently he found another job coaching a rugby club in Nelson.

My Dad lives in Nelson, I live in Palmerston North. I miss my Dad so much, I miss his hugs, his really bad jokes that only he thinks are funny, getting to talk about my day to him and every gross, funny, annoying and loving part of him. I love talking to my Dad but sometimes I don't have any time to talk with him.

My Dad always used to eat my chocolate, especially at Christmas. I would open up the wrapping paper to see it was chocolate, I was always really excited because I LOVE chocolate I would eat two rows and then on the next day I would come back and it just disappeared over night, but I mean that’s why I love him.

I am my Dad’s favorite child (well I’m pretty sure anyway.) I guess I’m the youngest and he was the youngest in his family so it’s just a younger sibling kind of bond.

My Dad is a cool Dad, he’s not too embarrassing, but when he starts dancing we are not related at all. I’m so lucky to have you as my Dad, I mean thanks to you i’m alive. Happy Fathers day Dad, youŕe the best!

Hungary

Hungary is a landlocked country in Europe. Their are 7 countries bordering Hungary Ukraine, Slovakia, Austria, Romania, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia

The capital of Hungary is Budapest and 9,821,973 million people live in Hungary.

The Hungarian flag looks similar to the Italian flag their are three lines that go horizontally the top one is red the middle line is white and the last line is green.

The highest point in Hungary is Kékes which is 1,014 m tall. It is Hungary's third most popular tourist attraction. Kékes in Hungarian means blue because Kékes is a blueish colour.

Air and water pollution are some of Hungary’s most serious environmental problems, because if their water is too dirty then they will be no clean water that the public can drink. Unfortunately Hungary aren’t doing anything to fix this problem, but if they did they should make a campaign on saving our environment.

Hungary are going to the Rio Olympics 2016. Over the years that Hungary have been to the Olympics they have won 482 medals all together. Hungary came 6th in the 2012 London Olympics.

I hope Hungary sort out their environmental problems otherwise no one will want to visit Hungary anymore. I also hope they do well in the Olympics!

My Haiku

   in class we have been doing Haiku's. A Haiku is poem that has 5 syllables for the first line, 7 syllables for the second line and 5 again for the last line. We made 4 about our holidays but only chose one to post on our blogs

I enjoyed making Haiku's!

     

Our Whole School Production

7/7/17

This year CSNS put on a whole school production called Cinderella and Rockerfella. I played the role of Cinderella. The night came so fast and went even quicker. I had so much fun with my friends joking about things in the production but also being serious about our roles in the production.

This is a photo of me and my friends in the interval at the production.

It was really fun and a good way to finish the term!

My Favorite Thing About Learning In GRi11 2.0!

2/06/16

My favourite thing about learning in GRi11 2.0 is how many devices we have and that we use them everyday for our learning. I really enjoy having a blog and following fast track.

Fast track is a document on a device that the teachers set us tasks on. We have our names in a list down the left hand side of the page. and the tasks up the top. we copy and paste our links from the task that we did under the task on fast track beside our name. It sounds confusing but it'sreally easy when you know what you're doing.
Here's a photo of Fast Track!

Computers are really fun to use because you don't have to lean on anything to write and you just press one button to delete instead of having to get a rubber then rubbing it out. We also have enough devices in our room for everyone to have one each and at my old school we only had 10 to share between 240 kids (4 classes.)

I really enjoy devices and hope we use them a lot in the future!

Sign language name - finger spelling video.

Last week for GRi11 2.0’s home learning, We had to spell our name in sign language. Sign language is the third language in New Zealand (Maori, English and sign language.) I really enjoy learning sign and I know almost the whole alphabet in sign language!

this is me signing my name.

The Last Cookie.

19/05/16

This is a story I made up! Kylie and Kendall as 12 or 13 year old's .

One day Kylie and Kendall Jenner both went to Kim's house and Khloe was there as well. The Jenner's got a plate of cookies placed in front of them and were both so excited to eat them! 

They scoffed them all up in seconds, until there was one left. The Jenner's fought over who gets the cookie for hours. Suddenly Kim and Khloe walk in, Kylie and Kendall both pause Kendall explains what's going on and Kim suggests to do a contest on who should win the last cookie! The Jenner's both agreed to do it and decided to have a boxing match, whoever wins the most rounds will get the last cookie.

They made a ring out of boxes and mattresses. Kendall had the blue boxing gloves and Kylie had the red boxing gloves from Toy world. ''ROUND 1'' said Khloe. Kendall and Kylie ran at each other pushing, punching, hitting and defending. Finally round 1 was over and the winner was Kendall! ''ROUND 2'' said Kim. They repeated everything they did in round 1 except this time Kylie won!

''ROUND 3'' said Khloe, Kendall won! ''ROUND 4'' said Kim, Kylie won!

''Looks like it's a tie'' said Kim. Kendall and Kylie both raced to the cookie to find that the cookie wasn't there! Their dog cookie monster was halfway through eating it! Kylie and Kendall both screamed.

''Don't worry we can just buy another packet at the super market'' said Khloe. ''O Yeaaaaaa'' said the Jenner's. So they all drove to the super market to buy cookies and they all lived happily ever after well for now anyway.

THE END.

Traditional Teaching Style🚶

17/05/16

It was a normal school day, until GRi11 2.0 all got to the classroom and that’s where it all started from there.

Signs saying do not enter until 8:50am and only half a class to work in. No technology, no mini fridge, no doors unlocked and nothing from this decade anyway.

“Sit down and be quiet” a voice screamed. We sat but my chair was only ⅓ of my table so all the person sitting across from me was from my chin up. Dictionary skills and dictation was “fun”.

Suddenly a ringing sound went off in my head I sighed with relief “do you think it’s over yet?” My friend asked me. We lined up and marched and marched and marched. I wasn’t very happy with my play group and what we played. Another bell rang “ugh”.

Sitting down in lines and sitting up tall and everything folded. “Hahahahahahaha” all of a sudden the teachers start bursting out in laughter it was all fake and we all guessed it!
