My year in Grill 2.0

Sup everyone I'm Tyler 

At the start of the year I thought I was up for a big year. I walked into class and most of my mates. The bell rang as I was talking to my teachers MR Robertson and Miss Gordon. I ran to the mat and sat down with my friends. 

In term one I had a hole lot of sport opportunity’s there was badminton,touch,tennis,hockey and ,any more. I was in the badminton reps for manawatu so I chose to do badminton for my summer sport at school. The day I went to sign up I got my friend Joonoh to be my partner. The first night I was quite nervous because I didn't know who would be there. The first night we played games to get into a division we won one game and lost the other so we got put into division two. We play for about 5 weeks then if you have won them all you play in the final sadly we lost by one point so we came runner up. Then in term four Joonoh and I won all our 

games and won the final in div one.

Learning in grill 2.0 is a lot different than any of The other classes. We do most of our learning is on a device. We use google apps called Google sheets, google classroom google docs and drive. 

The school production in 2016 was amazing the theme was Cinderella and Rockerfella. My part in the production was boys dance A.K.A boys volleyball. We danced to three different songs.

Being a sport coach was a big highlight for me. Coaching kids the same age as me. It's so cool that i have a chance to teach others my passion in badminton and all other sports. 

Your sincerely Tyler.b

earthquake recount

At midnight on Monday morning there was an earthquake. It was in hanmer springs down south where it first started. I live in Palmerston North in the north island. The magnitude was 7.5 in hanmer springs when it got to Palmerston North it was its magnitude was 6.5.

When the earthquake hit my house my bed was shaking side to side,and it woke me up. I screamed out to my mum she said it was an earthquake. “Get under the doorway in your room”.she yelled. My brother and I quickly ran to our bedroom doorway where our mum and stepdad was. It seemed like it went on for ages. But it was two earthquakes at once because the big earthquake caused another one to happen at the same time. Finally it stopped.

I'm terrified of earthquakes so afterwards i up for another hour then i went to bed. In that hour i just layed in bed. But it was really spooky because it was so quiet afterwards outside. After that big earthquake there has been over one thousand aftershocks. On monday afternoon i was at school and we had a big 6.6 magnitude aftershock. The lights in the classroom were swing hardout side to side. It happened during story time My teacher who was reading the book was Miss Gordon. Miss Gordon yelled out earthquake. The whole class got under the tables. We did drop, cover, hold. I was very scared and i started crying and getting upset. Luckily all my friends were taking care of me. Then my other teacher Mr Robertson took me outside to calm me down. He told me to go get some water and come back inside.

It has now been two days since the earthquake. But the whole country is still having aftershocks.

My new cap gun

 On the 8/11/16 in the morning I was bored and I still had half an hour left before we left to school. So I went and grabbed some gun powder and the gun and went outside to find something to shoot.
My neighbors had their cows across the road from my house. So I went to my gate and loaded my gun and aimed.

I shot the first bullet then another bang boom!! I keep shooting then all of a sudden. I put my face really close to the gun, and all of a sudden I pulled the trigger and smoke went into my mouth I lost my balance,then I acidently pulled the trigger again I flew backwards onto my back.

Then I dropped my gun,and it started throughing Sparks and smoke out then I heard a bang then it stopped. I thought it was broken or about to explod so I left it for a bit. Now it is back working but I will never put my face to close ever again.

Superman rap

I’m walking down the street.

With a book in my hand 

I say BOOOM little kid 

I’m superman.

I’m going to the Park.

And it seems really dark.

I use my laser eyes

 to keep it bright.

I can fly but I can't die

And if you ask me why? 

Here’s why.

Coz I’m a good guy.

 

I saved a baby in a fire.

From a lier.

And an old lady

 From tripping over a wire.

Should I save you now.

Or let you die?

Why... 

‘Cause i’m a GOOD guy

Global warming

Global warming

warming is a huge environmental issue caused by human actions and greenhouse gases. Global warming is when the overall temperature increases to a higher level. We need to stop global warming so all living things have a better life.

First, we need to knock down some wrecked houses that don't get used  and plant trees to suck up the greenhouse gases to stop global warming. We need to also stop deforestation because deforestation is becoming a big issue and with no trees there is nothing to suck up the gases.

Second, we need to stop smoke factories making smoke go straight into the atmosphere so that there won't be greenhouse gases affecting the ozone layer to stop global warming.

Third, Earth is the only planet we know of that can support life. The reason Earth is different than the rest relies on a number of factors. We get just the right amount of energy from the sun if we were any closer, we would burn up if we were any further, we’d freeze. Our atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the Earth that absorbs ultra violet radiation and prevents temperatures from rising too high or getting too cold. The greenhouse effect is the process that causes the surface of the Earth to be warmer than it would be if we had no atmosphere. Without these three factors, most like on Earth couldn’t exist.

According to nasa kids page:   Eleven of the last 12 years have been the warmest on record.2009 was the second hottest year and 2015 was the hottest year since record started.

As the temperature goes up, the amount of carbon dioxide, or CO2, in the air goes up. And as the carbon dioxide goes up, the temperature goes up even more. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. That means it traps heat from Earth's surface and holds the heat in the atmosphere. In Earth's history, temperature and CO2 levels in the air are closely tied.

The ozone layer surrounds the atmosphere that surrounds earth.

The sun beams heat raise to earth and some heat goes through the ozone layer into the earth but the rest of the heat reflects off the ozone layer and reflects back into space. But because of the greenhouse gas from earth is raising through our atmosphere and into the ozone layer but there is so much greenhouse gas it burnt a hole in the ozone layer,so now the sun is beaming heat through the hole in the ozone layer and into our atmosphere and the atmosphere isn't letting the heat out so the heat is just bouncing around earth getting hotter and more heat comes in every year. The greenhouse gases is making it twice as hot because the gas is just sitting around in our atmosphere.But now the ozone layer is rebuilding the hole so the next fourth years the temperature will go back down because the ozone layer is rebuilding itself.

remember one little change can. Make a big difference do what's right for our world.

Our trip to a school and a village

At one o'clock in the afternoon my family caught a van to a school called St Mary's Catholic school. The school ages went from five year olds to fourteen year olds. There are about 735 kids.The class I went into was filled of eleven to twelve year olds there are eighteen boys and twenty three girls which means there are about fourty kids in the class.Once we walked into the class we all stood up at the front of the class. The wallpaper was made of brown paper. There was only a black board and desks in the class. They had to wear a uniform. Then they sang a song and then we sang the national anthem. Then they gave us all a necklaces made of shell and fishing line.Then I told them a little about our school my class and how I learn in my class. Afterwards we handed out some little goody bags and three rugby balls. Then they had prepared a little snack and juice so we had a drink and some fruit, take some photos and talk to them. Then  they prayed. Said goodbye and thank you to the teacher. At the very end of school everyday they have a assembly. Then we went back to the front of the school and caught a van to a village.

When we got to the village. They had placed heaps of mats on the ground.We had to take our shoes off and sit on a the mat. Then everyone plus the kids had to have some kava. Kava tastes really bitter and like muddy water. Every time you had a cup of kava you have to clap three times and say Bula before you drink it.After that we gave them some snorkels,sixteen bags of stationary and three rugby balls.Then us kids played touch for an our and a half and then just were being silly and passing the ball around. One of the oldest took us for a walk through the village there was about fifty stray dogs and twenty stray chickens with two little chicks we weren't aloud to go the whole way because they are aggressive because of the theifs.Then we did the Fijian haka to say goodbye and then got in the van and went back to our resort.

Playing kaus

Every second day they bring out a game called kaus. It's when you put up five blocks at each end and there is six sticks you each get three each. You chooses whoever starts. Then the person that starts will through the first stick and if they hit the block they get a point. Once you have knocked them all down you have to hit the King it is really and tall. If you miss the King and then you put one back up.If you knock down the block that got put up you go for the King again if you get it you win but if you miss it again you have to put two blocks.

Going to Fiji

 On Saturday the 21st I am going to go to Fiji.I will get up at four o'clock in the morning.We have to be at the airport by five o'clock and our flight leaves at quarter to seven in the morning.Every year my family goes to Fiji for atleast two weeks.We stay at a hotel called the Wyndham it is one of the flashest.We do all sorts of stuff like scobber diving going to the inflatable waterpark, swim play ping pong and volleyball.My most favourite thing to do is swim with everyone.Everything in Fiji is made of flax and bush. Like umbrella and and the seats.

The big pool and the swim up bar at the hotel in Fiji

The kids pool in Fiji is almost twice the size of a rugby field and in some places it is really shallow another place is 1.4 and a big space is 1.7. With my snorcal swim from one end to the other end it takes me about 10 minutes. Over the top of the pool is two bridges and a swim up bar. The other day I  had a coke and a cocktail called the fire engine. In the fire engine there is pineapple juice lemonade and raspberry also they stick a cherry and orange on the side of the cup with an umbrella to make look tropical.

Traditional teaching style

On Tuesday 10th of May the class was locked until ten too nine.The tables were in rows and there was name tags on the desks.The name tags were your full last name and the first letter of your first name and you had to sit boy girl boy girl.The teachers were dressed in formal.I thought that it was a special day.Just before we went into the class all the boys tucked in.Half way through the day Mr Robertson started walking around with a baseball bat.

The subjects were education,dictation,dictionary skills,maths and handwriting.You also weren't aloud to smile talk or look at anyone while doing work.When you ate, Mr Robertson would say bite chew bite chew.Then for play time we did marching for half the time and then the teachers put us in to groups and we played air tennis,air netball,walking tag,passing a ball,line tag and rolling a hula hoop to each other.

Sports Rotation

Every Tuesday afternoon we do sports rotation for seniors.My favourite sport is badminton because I play under13 badminton for Manawatu.Badminton is a physical and mental sport.Before we start the session we have to do a warm up.We do sidesteps,shasay,jogging and running backwards.



To be a coach you had to fill in a application form.You had to write why you want to be a coach and why what a good coach needs and what sport you want to coach.i put in badminton so I could improve my skills at the Same time as coaching others.One day at assembly they called out who will be a sports coach and I was one of them.

what my favourite thing that I did In the holiday's

In the holidays my Nanna brought my brother and I the new star wars movie. I couldn't wait to watch It. Three days later I  watched It. It was amazing! Now my brother and I fight with our fake light sabers all the time my brother says he has to win by chopping my legs off and then stabing me. Then I get back up and keep fighting him.My brother goes flying back onto the couch when I push him and take his light sabrer off him.After a while my brother and I get tiered so we stop for a break.Then the next day we fight all over again.Then we watched it all over it wos'nt as good since I already watched it.

Swimming sports

On the 12th of Aprill it was senior swimming sports the strokes were Freestyle,backstroke,breath stroke,butterfly,and medoly which was all of them in 100 hundred meters. I was in backstroke because it is my favourite stroke and I am really good at it. When they called out my race I got really nervous I hopped in the pull mr smith said take your mark get set bam this bang went of and the race started. I was coming first until Scott and joonoh passed me and then I ended up coming third. After the race I felt so proud. Then we did the realay there were two boys and two girls in each team there was one called Tui weka takahe and kea I am cheating for tui because that is my house color it is the color yellow. Tui came third.Then we did a surfboard/donut race and we would race to one end of the 25 meter pool and then a girl would go on it back to the boy and then boy would take it back to the girls.At the end of the day we got changed ande got the bus back to school.

what i do at sport coaching for badminton

Before we do anything i introduce myself self then i will tell them what we will be learning.Then they will do a warm up then normally do serving and then a relay doing serving.Then sometimes half court singles and i would demonstrate to them then they would play and to end  i might play a little game with who ever who is helping me and then they go back to class.

My Favorite part in the class to learn

My favourite part of our class is the big area. It is called the 'Hub'. One of the reasons I like it is that you can talk but also stay on task.  You can sit on the floor, you can sit on a high chair or a low chair or a couch.You can also hear the teachers call their workshops. When I am in the hub I get heaps of tasks done. When people talk in the hub it helps me learn and sounds good with talking in the background.

Getting chosen to be a sports coach at assembly

I did an application to be a sport coach I chose the sport that I wanted to coach, it was badminton. I wrote one because I love playing badminton. At the assembly mr r got asked to go up to the front of the school and he got the chosen fifteen to go up infront of the school.  I was thinking to myself in my head please be me please be me. I was chosen and I was so happy so I stood up and walked up to the front it was so cool. Now on Tuesday,Wednesday and Friday I coach badminton and it is so cool.

Sixtus Lodge 2016

It was my turn to ride the horse. I was so nervous because I have never ridden a horse before, so they gave me the most experienced one. It was Les. He was really nice but he kept tripping over himself. The fun part was was when they wobbled when they went down a hill, but Les won't let you try to turn him. He was pulling his head back straight ahead so I let him turn himself. And he did it himself. It was so fun riding a horse!
