The Weet-bix Tryathlon

On the 24th of March it was the day of the Weet-bix Tryathlon.  It was an icy cold day and I was cold in my clothes. All the tents had been set up at Ongley park the day before. I carefully wheeled my bike so that my stuff didn't fall off. I was really excited for the tryathlon because I had done it last year and nearly all my friends were competing.

Quickly, I wheeled my bike to the transition tent so I didn't get wet. All the 10 year old boys and girls got a light blue swimming cap and you got it once the people scanned the code. After I found a spot to put my bike and I greeted my friend Ivy on the way out. Finally I could relax and enjoy all the stands. 

Once it was race time the teachers explained what would happen. It was a gloomy day outside and we had to stand in the rain for 30 minutes until we were under the tent. I thought the pool was going to be cold but once I hopped into the pool it was as warm as a spa.

We had to swim 100 metres bike 4 km and run 1.5 km. Once we were off the nervous butterflies in my stomach flew away and I went really smoothly through the race. At the end of the race I crossed the line, very proud of myself. At the end I got a photo of me and my friends Lara, Stevie, Zara and myself. I got an apple and an ice block and of course a medal

I am so proud of myself and I am definitely coming back next year.

Being a cave explorer

Being a cave explorer

The black car wheels screeched on the gravel road as the big white car pulled up on the road. I hopped out of the car and as soon as I hopped out I felt free. W walked into the shop and ordered some food. The shop owner started to get really angry and flustered but he got to the end at last. All 7 of us enjoyed our frozen treat as we strolled over to the site. We said goodbye to my father who was going to have a rest before he drives us back home. 

It was a long ride to the cave but the scenery was beautiful. Once we entered the cave the guide had told us what would happen. It was amazing once we entered the cave. They warned it was going to be cold and they were right. The glow worms were amazing. They looked like little stars shinning bright in the night sky. 

After the crazy experience of seeing the cute little glow worms we went to a little hut to try some tea. the tea wasn't normal because it was made of some leaves that was in the entrance of the cave. I didn't really like it but my auntie and uncle loved it. 

I loved seeing the glow worms put on a little show as we travelled through the cave. I would like to say thank you to my dad because he was the one that drove us there and he made me do it and it was totally worth it. I love the glow worm cave and I hope next time my mum and dad can join us as we became little cave explorer.

Favourite space in GRi11 2.0

10/3/16


My favourite space in GRi11 2.0 is a quiet space. sometimes it is noisy. Most of the time it is a teaching space or a learning space for all the pupils in GRi11 2.0. It always has people in it. If your wondering what it looks like it is the biggest space in the classroom. The walls always have eyes staring at me. Sometimes the furry blue wall is pulling funny faces at me. There are rainbows everywhere. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink. It is always a happy place. Memories are placed everyday and everywhere.
Parties are celebrated happily. Music is playing loudly everyone is listening in my favourite space. A chilly piece of furniture is placed in the corner of the classroom.

Things are getting forgotten and rubbed out on the wall. Great opportunities are being given throughout all the students. Masterpieces are created and hung on the wall. People roam around and talk all the time. The worn out carpet isn't very soft but I still like how it feels. Noise is placed on the ground. Lots of mouths are being opened and closed. Hungry all day they eat stationary and books. Small televisions open and close and talk all day. Sometimes they need a little rest and charge. All spaces are different. 

Even though this space doesn't have stars it is my favourite space in GRi11 2.0.
The hub is my favourite space of all time.
