Weetbix Tryathlon

                                      The Weetbix Tryathlon


On the 24th of March I went to the Weetbix Tryathlon!!! I rolled my bike up to the transition zone and got my swimming cap. After I parked my bike into the 10 year olds line, I put all the gear I needed next to it. I did everything in this order, The swim then the bike and finally the run. The swim was 100m, the bike was 4km and the run was 1.5km. 

Unfortunately on the day It was all rainy. All of the girls my age were freezing before our race because we were just in our togs and nothing else! We were all huddled together trying to keep warm. Finally we walked up to the pool. 

When the 10 year old girls  got there we all sat on concrete steps, I waited long then it was finally my turn. I then swam the 100m. Afterward when ran to where we parked our bikes and biked the 4km, then went back in to where we park our bikes and left my bike there. Then finally we did the 1.5km run. when I got close to the end I use up the last of my energy and sprinted down the finish line. I then received my medal. I took a photo with my friends, Zara, Yutong and Stevie. I also got an apple and ice block afterwards.

Later that day there was prize giving at 2pm. Sadly I did not get anything. But the good thing is that my school got donated $300 because we had the most Weetbix kids at the Tryatlon. When everything was done I got my bike and went home. I had an awesome day and I am definitely coming back next year!!!

Swimming

This term in GRi11 2.0 we have our swimming sports and swimming safety!!! We have three swimming safety lessons and 1 big swimming sports, we also have one none competitive swimming sports as well. 

With swimming sports I entered 1 swimming stroke which was back stroke, the most I was aloud to enter was 2 strokes but I only wanted to enter 1. The strokes that there was, were back stroke, freestyle, breastroke, butterfly and meadley which is all 4 strokes. I am really looking forwards to to that!

There is also swimming safety sessions that I am looking forward to unfortunately I missed a session because I was sick  but I am still really looking forward to the other 2 sessions. One of my friends told me that I was in the top group for swimming! There is the yellow group ( the one I am in ) which is the top one, the green group which are people that can swim quite well but don't know how to  swim many strokes and red, which are people that need a bit more help than others.

I am really looking forward to swimming because I am really enjoy it!

My favourite place to work in GRi11 2.0!!!

This post is all about my favourite space to work in here in GRi11. This year in GRi11 2.0 we have 4 giant spaces!!! Every space is based on Hauora which means wellbeing. They are The hub which is the big main learning space that you see as soon as you walk in and that room has every colour so it is the blue, green, yellow and red, The hall of fame which is a little hallway where you can work and where we keep all of the laptops in the morning and that room is all of the colours as well, there is also the hide out where it is always silent and that one is the blue room and there is the hang out where you can talk and the last room is the hang out which is the green room. My favourite room would have to be the hang out because I am aloud to talk in there and there is a wall I like to go behind and some sliding shelves I work in between, I also like to work in the hide out because sometimes I just need some peace and quiet.  This picture is of My friends and I in my favourite learning space!!!
