Taking action

On Thursday the tenth of November Grill 2.0 got together and discussed how we can make this a cultural school. We broke off into 4 groups. Cultural food, cultural open day, language and cultural dance and a cultural sport group. I was in the sport one. Then we broke into smaller groups. Kabati,
T ball, hand ball and more. I am in T ball. 

In our T ball group we have me, Jack R-J and Leevi. So far we have come up with our plan and we have researched the history. All we need to do now is get our equipment. The other groups are doing there stuff on Wednesday the 16th but  the sports group are doing theres on the 22nd. We have made a kahoot to see how much they learnt at the end.

Breack out EDU

In our class we have been doing a breack out EDU. What you have to do is find Keys and clues to open a box that has locks in it. Every one has done one and we now get to run one. I got to do this on Friday the forth of november. I ran this with Baxter another kid in my class. We hid the two keys first one under a bin and one on a globe. The clues were hidden in a cobard that was locked and an unlocked one. One kid found it and dident know what it was and closed the cobard again. We told them that someone had found a clue. It was so much fun. The worst park was when when we needed to do a test and someone else took over.

Bond fire




on Saturday the fifth my dad took me to one of his frends houses for a party. When we arrived I made my way to the goat pen. I knew my way around the place. As I readched the top of the hill I spotted a older girl about 14 that lived of the propriety. She and some other children that had come were feeding them. We had lots of fun trying to sneak up of the goats without them noticing. The older girl had a sheep that followed her around. "What is his name?" I asked her. "Draco." She replied. We held  gunia pigs as chickens. I was exited. We were going to have a bond fire to night. I just couldn't wate. After dinner me, the 14 year old girl and the other children went on a walk down the drive to se where the bond fire was going to be.

The walkway long. As we reached the bottom we could se a giant pile of sticks. On our way back up I stoped at the top of the steepest part of the driveway to sit down. I was very close to siting on a huge thorn bush. 

Back at the house we were ready to go to the bond fire. I found out that they had made a Donald Trump scare crow and we were going to through him on the fire. We needed to wheelbarrow him down. I did this. It was hard to se in the dark and my arms got saw. When we reached the bottom I was nicknamed the wheelbarrow champion. 

We threw Donald Trump on the fire and lit it. It was funny to se him burn. Half way through a rabbit hopped out of the fire and stood there. My dad caught it and freed itAnd at the end the 
fire was just a pile of about 30 sticks.

My ponies



I have got two ponies. There names are AtuTahi and Libby. Libby is AtuTahi's foal. She Was born a strawberry roan and is now a chestnut. Atu Tahi is a dark dapple grey colour. Atu is 13 hands high and Libby is 10 hands high. Atu isn't broken in yet meaning she isn't rideable. I love my poines and I will get more in the future. 

Some interesting facts about horses. 
- poines grow up to thirteen and a half hands. Any thing bigger is a horse.
- there is a triangular shape at the bottom of the hoof called a frog.
- the smallest ponies are Shetland poines. They can grow up to six hands high.
- there are four speeds that a horse can do. They can walk, trot, canter and gallop. A trot is like a jog for a horse. A canter is a run for a horse. And a gallop is sprinting for a horse.

Dino Domonation

Dino Domination
Part one


Chapter 1
The rain thundered down from the dark sky onto the floor of the Earth as William pulled up at the laboratory on Birchwood Road at Winchester University. Little did he know that a project he had recently worked on actually worked. The doors slowly slid open with a loud screech. William set the lift up to go to level three. As he stepped out of the lift there in front of him stood… A time machine. “Is it ready?” Questioned William shakely. “Almost” answered David (William's boss). “We just need one more piece. I hope it's here soon!” Dave called after William as he backed away into the shadows.

The next few days William kept on waiting for the piece at the post shop. But nothing arrived. The sun was beating down. He thought it had gone to the wrong destination. He thought he should give up. He was tired and all he wanted to do was sleep. And he left.

William arrived at his house. The clock chimed 10:pm as he opened the oak door. Buster, a chocolate black labrador, jumped up barking, excited to see his master. William dragged himself up the stairs. The floorboards creaked as every lumbering step took him further up to his office. He sat down with his computer. Dave had sent him a message. William hovered his hand over the button not sure if he should press it. But he did.“The last piece is being shipped in tonight.” William paused.It will be here in the morning.” He slowly stood up pulled himself off his chair and into bed.

Chapter 2
Sun streamed through the windows as William yawned. He refused to get up. His limbs ached as he slowly pulled himself up thinking- or daydreaming more likely. Buster was scratching at the door of Williams bedroom waiting for food. “Shoosh Buster!” snapped William. “I’ll come out soon- William was interrupted as the ringing doorbell sounded. William rushed down towards the door. It creaked open. “Hello i'm Zane.” William was surprised. “I work at the post shop. I believe this is yours.” Zane handed him a box with a sticker that labeled, FRAGILE. Zane handed him the box. “Cheerio” Zane called as he walked down the driveway. William was excited he packed up and rushed to Winchester University.

“What's taking him so long?” Questioned Daved. As he stomped his foot repeatedly on the floor. William rushed through the door into the room where the time machine waited. “I’m here, i’m here” called William as he ran toward Daved. He placed the box firmly on the desk. “This is it. The last piece.” “Yes!” Engineer Mike attached the last piece to the computer generator. Suddenly the square time machine hovered one foot off the ground. Lights light up and a voice sounded. “Good day i'm Rover I will be your guide for today.” “It works!” Yelled dave. Everyone cheered. “It's a  scientific breakthrough.” William stopped. “ What exactly was that last piece?” “Nothing much” replied dave. But William didn't agree…

The next day William rushed through the door. “I'm late again.” And then as the elevator took him up… There, in front of him was four people and the fully kitted up time machine activated! “you're here!” Called david. “We have tested it and now we are sending people.” William stood. Affrad. “Ok and who are these?” “Here we have Bob, Gareth, Gordon and Tom who is our paleontologist. And you.” “ Me?” “Yes now come on!” William and the gang hoped in. Gareth flicked the switch suddenly the time machine juddered. William lost sight the room he once was in in a blinding ball of light and they disappear…

Chapter 3
The wind howled and the grass blew wildly. Dense forests surrounded them… “You have arrived at your destination” said the computer generated voice (or Rover) on the time machine. Everyone cheered. “The time machine worked!” The commotion continued as the sun lay his head on the horizon. But william didn't cheer. Deep down he felt like this was a bad idea.

“Do we have food.” Groand Gordon. “Yes.” Answered Tom. “We have a whole cupboard full.”(The time machine had big cupboards.) William started writing a novel of his time so far. “ where are we?” Said William. “North america. Exactly where the lab should be. Just 64 million years earlier.”

The next day the sun beamed. The time machine was hovering above the ground. “Hop in” called Gareth. “Are we going back?” Questioned William, puzzled. “No-” interrupted Tom. “It flies.” Williams mouth dropped. As everyone got in and made themselves comfy William had one question. “Where exactly are we going?” “Africa” replied Bob. “How come i'm always the last to know?” Said william gripping his hands on his head. “Rover take us to North Africa.” Gareth told Rover the computer. “ Right away!” Rover said cheerfully. The time machine zoomed up and the door slammed. Everyone looked out the window and there the forest disappeared into the distance.

Chapter 4
As the northern plains of africa came into view William yawned. A deserted desert land lay in front of them. “Be careful, some of the biggest dinos that have ever existed.” Tom said shivering. “Like what?” Asked William. “Well let's see. Um.” Tom stood there for a while. “Carcharodontosaurus. (Car- car- donto- saurus.) and Spinosaurus.”

William saned the surrounding. Of in the distance lay some sort of oasis. Of to the left was a river and on the other side a forest. There was a lush grassy clearing. It was surrounded by forest and the river. Suddenly Tom, William, Bob, Gareth and Gordon’s heart skipped a beat as a distant roar echoed around. Off in the distance was the shadowy figure of a Spinosaurus. “The biggest dino to exist.” Muttered Tom. The Spino flung a large fish out of the water and dragged it onto the shore. A Rugops dinosaur appeared. A Rugops was a skavenger. It didn't like getting into fights. The crew watched in amaze as it snuck up behind the Spino and snached some meat of it.

That night William pulled out of his pocket a diary. His diary was old. It had been past down from his father. He wrote about that day. He had one thing stuck in his mind. The Rugops must be very Light on its feet. He worried that it just might sneak up on them… Soon.

Chapter 5

The sun beams shone down on the desert. The heat increased fast. Wind howled it blew sand in every direction. They sealed the door on the time machine. The wind howled viciously. “Hey look!” Called William. He pointed toward a herd of dinosaurs that were grazing in the clearing. Then a loud echoing roar burst out followed by a Carcharodontosaurus. William saw Gordon running out of the woods. His bag swinging. Carcharodontosaurus was herding the herbivores out near the river. Suddenly a large pointed spine appeared out of the river. A Spinosaurus emerged out of the wavy river. It leaped out and took hold of one of the herbivores. The creachechor disappeared under the water.

The sand storm slowly died down. William wanted to know what Gordon was doing out in the woods. “I was looking for some food. But I came across this.” Gordon said puffing. He pulled out a skull of some sort. Tom picked it up. “Spino.” Tom said. “But it's so big.” William replied. “That's only a third of it.” Tom muttered. “How big is it?” Gareth questioned. Bob leaned over to have a quick look.

Bew,bew,bew.William woke up quickly. “Wake up wake up!” “What is it?” Questioned Tom. Suddenly the time machine was bowled over by a large object. William looked up. A Carcharodontosaurus was clawing at the wall. Tom, Gareth and Gordon crawled out. The wall was ripped off.  William hoped over the wall. Bob cried out for help. William couldn't look back as a loud crunch sound rang in his ears. And then another creature came. It was a Spinosaurus.

Chapter 6

William turned around. A Spino face to face with Carcharodontosaurus. The Spinosaurus reared up and clawed at the muzzle of the Carcharodontosaurus. Blood trickled down. It stomped backward. As the Spino ran forward. The Carcharodontosaurus moved out of the way. It bit at the spine part. Blood was splattering on the ground. William rushed into the woods after Tom, Gareth and Gordon.

“Why have you stopped?” William asked. He followed there eyes. A stampede of herbivores were ruining their way. “Run!” Called Gareth. William sprinted hard out. “Why are they running?” Puffed William. “There probably running from the carnivores.” Replied Tom. “Down here.” Gordon called. They slid onto the other side of the log. The stamped kept on going. Williams arm stretched out. He was trying to reach his diary, that had fallen out. Then a loud crack came from Williams rist as a herbivore stood on it. William wailed as his wrist twisted back. The stamped continued off into the distance. Gareth picked up Williams diary and handed it to him.

“They have been gone for three dayes!” Dave said to his employes. I hope nothing bad has happened.

Chapter 7

William was limping with the others back to the location of the time machine. There lay the body of the Carcharodontosaurus. “Where is the the Spino?” Questioned Gordon. “And where is Bob?” Tom said. “The Carcharodontosaurus got him.” William replied. His hand was held up by a thin layer of bark. A light wind blew. William found a massive claw stuck into the broken wall of the time machine. “Look!” He called to the others. “What is it?” Tom called back. “A claw.” William said staring at it. “Spino claw.” Tom muttered. He pulled it out. “Where is the Spinosaurus?” William said. Tom shrugged. “We need to fix this. Or were done for.”

Dave walked up and down the lab. “We need them back.”

Spelling my name in sign language


Hi this is my name in sign language 


My favourite thing about grill is...



My favourite thing about grill is... 

In my amazing class Grill 2.0 i have lots of great things that I like about Grill 2.0 are the learning spaces. The four great learning spaces are the hub, the hall of fame, the hide out and the hang out. 

The hub is the main part of the room. This is where we have most of our tables. You can work in what ever room you want. In the hub we don't just have tables, we can work on couches! 

 The hall of fame is a passage like room of to the side of our class. In there is where we charge and put the computers at the beginning of the day. Our class is lucky because we have four tipes of computers. We have Crome books, I-Macs I-pads and more. In the hall of fame we have these office chairs. The hall of fame is my favourite room.

The hide out or the silent room is at the end of our class. It is where you can work if you want it to be quiet. That room has our computer safe. 

And Last we have the hang out. The hang out is off to the side like the hall of fame. The hang out is the brightest room. There are cobards that you can hide and work in. So that is my favourite thing in my class.

Colour simble image Writting about tts.

traditional teaching style.


On Tuesday the 10 of May I was involved in a traditional teaching style. My most vivid memory was the organised play, marching and maths. I hated organised play the most because I had to watch some kids play line tag and you couldent play what you want.  A few minits later the people I was with watching finally I got to play a game. We lined up three on one side and another tree on the other. And we past it to one another. 

Marching. I hated marching bcause the hole school was waching us.
Maths was bad to. I had to shear a book with another person. The table I was working on  was too high and I had to neal. That day was bad until the teachers burst up lafing. All of that work we did for nothing.

I got in the pool and held onto the juping ramp for lane one. 3,2,1 go! I let go and prepeld myself forward from the wall. This race is freestyle. I came last and in backstroke I came 4 out of 6 people.



Sports at C.S.N.S school.


Sports at c.s.n.s
At c.s.n.s. The senior syndicate has sports every Tuesday. Our school sports are: ️Soccer, tennis, badminton, basket ball, hokey, golf and rotations. My favirot one is badminton because you have this long racket that you hit the shuttle cok over the net. You have a few ways you can hit the shuttle. There is  look at you wach. When you do that you hold the racket across your body in you right hand. And hold the shuttle cok by the feathers in your left hand. when you have done that swing the racket forward and hit the shuttle. I also like more sports that we do but that is my favirot. Hope you like it.

Camping trip

Camping trip

"We're there!" I call as I see the beutifull river and our camp site below. As were arive big black and 
white cows emerge from the other side of the gate and run off along with the sheep. With the cows and sheep out of the way we sett up our tent and that night I stay up and wach the millions of stars in the sky twinkling far above. 

As I got up the next day I relise that my dad and I were going fishing today. later on I was raising to the car, I was eager to go. As we arive at the river my dad got my rod and his ready. We head down to the river. The water was deep and cold. My dad helps to get me across. The water rushed past. Two years ago we had a great swimming hole but after a flood the river changed and our swimming hole disappeared. We started fishing and soon my dad called I've got one, I've got one. I race over. Suddenly a big trout jumpes up. Then then we loose it the trout. It got away. But we didn't go home empty handed we had one trout its skin was slimey. It's body was covers in mucus. And then we set of home.

The learning pit

learning pit.
The learning pit is a pit where at the bottom is when you do and try your best and you slowly make your way out and it gets easier. When you start in the year, you are at the top of the learning pit but then when you start going down you are starting to learn and it gets harder at the bottom. As you go up the other side all you learned gets easier. If you go straight over it you don't learn anything and it is too easy.s

Sixtus Loge Grill 2.0 Camp.

We had left the camp ground toward the glow-worm caves. The moonlight lit the way. The walk was long but we got there. Sand flys swamed us tring to bite, they couldent, bug repelent for the win! As we lumber down the tiring steps that I sliped on we found our selfs at a stream. The stream was freezing and the tracks were muddy. Soon we saw the caves mouth with lichen haning down. 

We all walked in and there I saw nothining."Turn your lights off " said the teacher. Finally, I saw thousands of glow-worms on the roof high above, they shone like stars. There was one close to our reach someone shone there light at it and there it was a tiny wight string." Glow-worm" lots of people were looking at it. It was tiny! The walls had crackes and little places that looked like shelfs. The cave had formed over thousands mabe millions of years created by the stream wich mabe was a river long ago. We were there for five minutes waching the glowing worms. It was amazing.

Then it was time to go. As we left we saw some on the walls surrounding us, hanging on the shiny stone. That was the best memory at camp.

The Hang Out

My favourite place to work in GRi11 this year is the Hang Out. The hang out is the social place in our class. In the hang out we have one table, a couch and sliding cobords that you can work in.
The hang out is in the left coner of our class.
