Learning In Gri11 2.0

Here In GRI11 2.0 we have many learning spaces in fact we have more than any class so we are very lucky. We have the Hangout, The Hideout, The Hall Of Fame and The Hub. My current favourite space is the hub in fact I am in the Hub right now. Anyway let me explain the spaces. Fist the Hangout, The hangout is a social room for group activities. Then we have the Hideout witch is the opposite, The hideout is a silent room for individual activity. Next is The Hall Of Fame witch is just a hallway with a desk and chairs to work in. Then we have the Hub my personal favourite, The Hub is the main part of the classroom with desks, chairs, leaners, whiteboard tables and the trays where we store our books and stationary.

Today the whole school went to the Anzac Assembly and book launch for the picture book Gladys Goes To War. This advent was in the hall and lots of parents joined. 2 children laid a wreath. 3 news and the mayor where there so we had to represent Collage Street Normal School. Some children read the book then the mayor officially launched it. I cant wait to read Gladys Goes To War myself!

2016 Swimming Sports

Yesterday all the seniors of the school went in a bus down to the lido so we could do swimming sports. We could participate 2 races each the choices where, 25 metre freestyle, 25 metre backstroke, 25 metre breaststroke, 25 metre butterfly and 25 metre flutter board. I entered backstroke and flutter board. I came 3rd in backstroke and 1st in flutter board. The non swimmers went to a different pool then the racing children. There was lots of noise and the wait was long but it was worth it once I got the feeling of a win. This was my last collage street swimming sports so I hope the intermediate I go to does it.
