My Year In Grill 2.0

Dear Jaeziah

My 6th and final year at Primary School in Grill 2.0 was amazing. This year was a very good year and it was

very different to other years. I remember day 1 of grill 2.0 like it was yesterday. I was so nervous and shy. Now it’s very simple to walk in. I also remember camp. It was ok but I would say that the year before was better. Because the boomer trail was 3 hours but they ended it great with a water slide. I also remember our cultural festival with Klacs Crew and Lava. Plus I learned about agency and being agentic. I learned a lot. How about I tell you about the four things this year I learned about. Hauora, Performing, Environment and Cultural Diversity. I also learned how to 3d print. It is really fun. It took a while but I think that it was worth the wait. The classroom was huge. It was the biggest classroom in the school. There were 4 rooms. There was the Hideout, The Hangout, The Hub and the Hall of fame. I personally liked the hub the best. I also really improved in my maths getting 92% out of 100% on stage 8. I still can’t believe it. I also entered an animation into the digi awards. During the process I learned how to use a green screen.

Kind Regards

Athletics Day 2016

It’s finally here, Athletics day! I’ve been waiting for this moment from the start of the year. I said to myself before I went out”I’m going to try my hardest for my final athletics day (like every other athletics day)”.

The first events for y6’s was long distance. I would say that these events were in order of my least favourite to favourite (Long Distance,High Jump,Throw,Hurdles,Sprints,Long Jump) except hurdles and sprints I would switch them around, anyway. I am not bad but not good at long distance so I tried my best. I started out good but ended alright with 2 points out 4. Yay!?

The next event was high jump. I thought I sucked at high jump. But I tried my hardest the 1st jump, I made it. Then the 2nd jump came around. I nearly knocked the bar over but still made it. But then when the 3rd jump came I jumped way to early and landed on top of the bar and was eliminated on the final jump I was happy with my performance. After those 2 events it was morning tea.

Next event was throw. Every event I had to wait for ages especially throw so when it was my turn I tried so hard that I nearly hurt my hip. But my throw to me was a good throw. Then I did my second throw and it was basically the same so yeah. average performance.

The next event was hurdles and I would say that I did the best at this plus I got a 4 so anyway. I was in the last race in hurdles. I was up against Ruan, Kristian and Leevi. Wasn't a very tough race for me and that is why I came first and got 4 points.

The next event was sprints. I am ok at sprints. not the best but not the worst. Now once again I was in the last race with Ruan, Kristian and Leevi. But this event. No year 6 boy or girl got a 4. So the highest someone got was 3 and a lot of people got 3 Including me so I was proud.

The final event (Before Relays) was long jump. Now long jump was my favourite event. So I was happy that I finnaly got to do long jump. This was my final athletics event at CSNS. So I was going hard out when I had my attempts and on my last attempt I was pressured by my friends watching but I lept so far so I was happy with myself.

Now It's time. The relays. I was worried for when it was my teams turn (Weka) versing the other teams. Ready,Set,BANG! The relays had started. I was 2nd to last in the line so I had to wait quite a while. It was coming towards my turn so I started jogging forward and then, ZOOM! I was off. I ran as fast as I could and then I passed it to Stevie. She was the final runner for Weka and confirmed that Weka won the year 6 relays. YAY!

I went home from my last CSNS athletics very proud because My team won the relay. I will remember this for a long time

Cultural Festival

Hi Guys, On the 16th of November Grill 2.0 are going to have a cultural festival. This was a task set by our teachers. This will show how divers the world is. For all you guys and gals that don't know what "Diversity" means, it means difference. I picked the food group I'll be there selling traditional Italian pizza & gingerbread men. I am in the group with Ethan, Hugo,Ruan and Scott. We have made a poster about our pizza and now we are making one for the gingerbread men. There will be lots of other things than just food so I'm going to try and visit everything there. The food will all be free because we aren't doing it for the money. We are doing it to learn about cultural diversity and difference in the world.

Athletics Day Practice

Very soon it will be my final athletics day at my school College Street Normal School and I've been practising real hard for it. Also I am in the athletics team for my house Weka. Plus on that day I have to wear my house colour (Red). I want it to be a memorable one. So I will try my hardest. My best performance ever on athletics day was when I came 3rd= in the year 3 boys. I want to try and get the same if not better result than year 3. I hope that you hope me good luck.

Bike Safety

On Wednesday I did a bike safety program with all of the boys from Grill 2.0 (My Classroom). We all got taught the road rules for bikes and we even practised them on a coned out course. It was really fun but we had to do it in the rain. Which actually helped me because it tested more than if it was dry because I always slid when I tired to brake. Anyway we also did a challenge where we had to act if everyone their were strangers and we could not talk to each other for 5 minutes. If you talked you would have to stop riding for 30 seconds and at the end of the day I had to do road patrol because it was my duty day.

7 Day Blog Post Challenge Annoucment

Hi guys, I'm Jaeziah and this my 7 day blog post challenge. For the next week I will be posting daily starting today since this is a challenge from my teachers. So I hope you all enjoy this.

Hieroglyphic Narritive

One day Bob flew into India from New Zealand Bob was walking around and Bob saw vulture flying around with it holding something. It was holding a bleeding arm and Bob said ‘OMG did that vulture kill a person’. About 1 hour later Bob found the body of the dead person including the other arm. When the vulture came back for the other arm Bob fended it off away from the body with my door bolt that Bob had got from a dealer for free. It was real handy. When darkness came signalling night making shelter was the first priority. So Bob went around gathering random things in hope of making a decent shelter. So Bob did all he could and when he thought he had done enough he looked at it and thought ‘Wow, I’ve done a great job here. But what he didn’t know was that it was midnight and he really needed to go to sleep. But before he did that with his twisted flax wick that he got from the same trader that gave him a door bolt at the village. he started to make a fire but before he did that he need sticks and logs. It took him a while but he did it and made a fire. After that big day he went to sleep.  

                                             

The next day Bob woke up and outside waiting for Bob was a cobra. Bob didn’t know what to do. He saw a village near by. Bob thought if he could sneak around the cobra he could get to the village and ask the villagers for some directions. So Bob tried to go around the cobra but it bit him. What he didn’t know was that the cobra was poisonous but he was still hurrying. He didn’t know what to do. But then he looked outside and saw a reed leaf bush. He went towards it and luckily the cobra wasn't looking. So Bob grabbed a leaf and threw it away from the village and the cobra followed it

So when the cobra was out of sight Bob ran as fast as he could and when he got there he saw a hospital and ran towards it he told them what happened and got him in with a doctor. the doctor gave him the antidote for it and applied it every day for a month. He stayed in India for that month and when it was over he flew back to New Zealand and lived happily ever after.

My Role In The Production Is...

I'm in the boys dance in the production. All of the boys from rooms 9,10/11 and 20 are in it with me. We practice most days and the first time we practiced. We have a codename for it and it's volleyball. So every time we heard "Volleyball" from mr r (Our Coach) we knew we had dance practice. It was ok considering it was our first time but we needed to improve. From then on we practiced nearly every day.                                                                              

The first time we did the dance in front of a crowd was cool cause then we got to show our sweet moves. It was in front of the Grill 2.0 girls and they kept laughing but we all enjoyed doing it. Also Our dance comes in right at the start of act 2 scene 2 (I think I have no idea).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     After our dance we have the ballroom scene we we go to the back of the stage, Watch all the ball guest come through and then do another dance. 

That's my role in the production.

Jaeziah Finger Spelling

Here is my video of me signing my name in sign language. We did this because It was national sign language week. So we learned how to do it first and then we did it ourselves.

Hope you enjoy!

My Weekend

In the weekend my cousins came to my house. My cousins names are Jahvontye and Katarina. One day we all went outside and played a game. It was one that Jahvontye played at his school. It's were one person throws a disc at the other person and the other persons aim is to get it hooked on their foot. When we all played it we were all pretty close except for Kata who was throwing the disc over every body's head. But when Jahvontye threw the disc at me a couple times he was very close. After that we all went in the car to get BK (Burger King) for dinner because it was a Friday and on Fridays we get BK.                                                                                                                                                                                                              The next day we all stayed on our electronics till 12:30 and then all of the kids except Kata had a Nerf war. It was me vs Leevi and Jahvontye. I got shot three times and one of the shots I 

got shot in the eye they never got shot because I suck at aiming.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The last day Sunday was fun because Me and Jahvontye stayed home by our selves for 2 hours and did what ever we wanted. So we just played on the computer and played Roblox. The games we played the most were speed run 4 and giant smash. Speed run 4 was fun because we got up to the rainbow level (level 7) which was hard because we didn't get halfway for 30 mins so then we changed the game to giant smash where 1 person is the giant and every body gets a crossbow and you have to try and kill the giant. If you survive the whole round without getting killed you get 100 coins. If you get the final kill on the giant you get 100 coins and every time you level up you get more coins. After what I thought was 3 hours they came back with 2 donuts for all the kids and a frozen coke. After that big day we met Kata and her family went to countdown had some turns on the claw machine (No Luck) and then all went to our homes. Which Jahvontye lives in Patea and Kata and here family lives in Hawera and we went back to our house in Palmerston North which in our family is the biggest city

Traditional.Teaching.Style (T.T.S)

On Tuesday the 10th of May 2016 our teachers had surprised us with a traditional teaching style. There were rows and rows of chairs and we had name tags at our desks and it was boy/girl. We weren't allowed into the classroom until 8:50 and it was only room 11 not 10/11. Plus it had a sign on the window that said "Be Quiet It was a very unusual day and some very unusual stuff like marching and organised play.                                                                                                                                                                                      When we walked back into class we saw the teachers cracking up of laughter and I was trying to figure out what had happened and when they told us what had happened we all smiled and laughed and then they wrote TTS on the board and told us that they made us do a block of old school learning.                                                                                                                                                                                                             Then we all went away and did a CSI also known as a Colour, Symbol, Image. We all did one for TTS and one for Grill 2.0. So what you do for CSI is pick a colour, symbol and image that suits the chosen subject here are my 2.

Sport Rotation

Every Tuesday after lunch the entire Senior Syndicate has sport rotation. Every class does 2 different sports and it goes from 1:30 till 3:00 so you'll get 45 minutes a sport. There are sport coaches that help is with each rotation. My favourite thing to do isn't a sport but it's apart of sports rotation and it's circuits. The most exhausting thing that I've ever done is planking because you have to plank for 5 minutes non-stop. The most fun thing ever in circuits would be trying throwing animals filled with bean bag beans into a hoop. I don't know why it's so fun but it just is.

Inflatable World

In the holidays I went to Inflatable World and it was amazing. I went with my mum and a child that my mum looks after and his name is Nikolai. When we went in I saw the thing I wanted to do the most. The big balls just like on wipeout so I walked over to them and I waited my turn. When it was my turn I just ran across all four balls and landed on the end platform in 2 seconds. I only fell of the big balls 1 or 2 times at the end. Even Nikolai had a go at it. After that I went on the giant inflatable square. It was really slippery and hard to get up. The easiest way to get up was to climb up the corners so when I got up I jumped up and down hoping to bounce some people off. When I got bored of the giant yellow air cube I went to the duelling arena. I had a duel with a stranger but the problem was that we couldn't reach each other. So we tried to reach each other and it ended out to be who had the best balance. Most of the time it was a draw and rarely would there be a winner. It got boring after a while so I went to another activity that was right next to it. There was 3 wrecking balls filled with beanbag beans and 1 podium in the middle of them. The objective for the people throwing the wrecking balls is to knock the one person off the podium. For the 1 person on the podium the objective is to stay on the podium for as long as possible. It was a lot of fun with a lot of people. After that amazing day I thought "I am a very lucky boy" and walked out of Inflatable World with a grin on my face.  

Weet-Bix Triathlon

Hi, my name is Jaeziah and I did the Weet-Bix Triathlon. Even though the weather was holding us back and slowed plans down we persevered through and did it. When my partner Jordan started swimming I was nervous. I waited for Jordan to finish swimming so I could start biking but he was still in the pool for a while. But a minute later he finished his swim and I tagged him and then I started my biking.                                                                                                                                                                                                    When I started to bike it had all ready cleared up unlike the other races and I didn't end up biking in the rain so that was nice but anyway. I started to bike along and then I started to catch up to a big pack of triathletes. So I tried to go through them but it just didn't work so I just stayed in the back until a big, wide space so I could pass other people. Later on in the bike there was a big, wide space like I hoped so I started to pass people and then there was a point were we passed The Esplanade, went over a speed bump and then I hoped off my bike I was like "I'm nearly finished the bike"! Then I saw the transition and stood my bike up then ran to Jordan to start the run.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     When I started to run with Jordan we were enjoying the run very much it was nice and easy to start with but when we got to halfway I started to struggle but Jordan help me push through and then I saw my mother and my brother who had already finished the race and they were both following me around when I was running but at the end we runed as hard as we could and we finished.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       We got our medal and a cup of water and I said "Yay we finished the triathlon". So we waited in line to take our picture  and then got our ice blocks and went back to mum. She said to me that I could have some nachos and a hot chocolate with two marshmellows and they were very tasty. After that whole day their was the bike giveaway and I nearly won a bike twice but I like my old bike just how it is. Then when it was all finish I got my bike walked to the car, got a frozen coke from Burger King (cause we were good) and then went home.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Swimming Sports

On Tuesday the Senior Syndicate went to do some swimming sports we there would be races and relays. I entered the 25m freestyle and it went great because I got third and got a black rod. My brother got 2nd and a brown rod and Jordan came first and got an orange rod. A black rod was one point a brown rod was two points and a orange rod was three points. The fun relays were fun to you either got a donut or a surfboard but it depended which house you were in. I was in Weka and my team got a donut. We got 3rd out of 4 and I felt we could do better but I was still happy with the result because at least we didn't come last. After all that there was a adults/teachers vs students race and the adults/teachers won even though the students put up a good fight. Then we all wanted free time but didn't have the time for it so we got dressed, packed up all of the stuff and went back to school.

Zirka Circus

When I went to Zirka Circus I thought I was going to be bored and but when I left I didn't have any socks. It was the greatest 2 hours of my life.                                                                                                               The opening act was about a boy who lost is toy bike and then went out to try and find it. But then he meets with what looks like a water goddess who brings his toy bike back. He looked around in shock and wondered "How did this happen?" but still burst in joy that his toy bike was back.
The next act was one of my favourite acts out of the entire show. There were these people dressed up as pirates and they did the most amazing things on two poles. First they did some back flips on the ground but then they climbed up the poles did a trick and then hanging by just their legs upside down they let go dropped and then just before they hit the ground they gripped back on with their legs and then did half a back flip and landed on their feet. I went in my head "Wow that was amazing!"

My Favourite Space In GRi11 2.0

My favourite space in Grill 2.0 is the Hideout because you can relax and have peace and quiet. If you make a noise in there you'll ruin the other people that are in the learning space. If you're in the Hub, the Hangout or the Hall of fame and you think it's to noisy for you then come to the quiet room the Hideout. Every space has a name for a reason. The Hub is the main classroom, The Hangout is the social room for teamwork, The hall of fame is the room for mental stuff and the Hideout is the quiet room for people who like to work in silence. It's a great place to kick back and relax in this amazing class of Grill 2.0. So why don't you come and join us as we hideaway in the Hideout.

My Sixtus Lodge Experience In Apiti

This week GRi11 2.0 went to Sixtus Lodge in Apiti.

I was going to do a thing that my teachers made up and it was called the super challenge. There were five challenges and my favourite was the egg and spoon race. It was so challenging for some people because when people were running the speed made it harder to keep the egg on the spoon. My team the Spartans got first place but some people said we cheated and so we got disqualified and got zero. I personally thought that we didn't cheat and if we did, how did we cheat? I thought we had ten points.
