Second block well we got to look at our report and see if anything was wrong like spelt wrong and yeah stuff like that. After we did the report editing we got to finish our learning journey. We did P.E (Physical Education) straight after that at 11:45 well actually the people that had there sport uniform went to the bathrooms and got changed and then they did P.E and the group I was put into was group 1 which was soocer with 2 balls which wasn't the most fun but it wasn't boring either so it was just average though I have a sore foot and the soocer really didn't help it probably just made it worse. Last block was the most relaxed but messy block. The people that still didn't finish their learning journey well they were supposed to finish it and I hope everyone did. After that at about 1:45 we had to go onto out RLL (Real Life Learning) Documentary groups. Sadly the computer that my group needed for the music making which was where all the music was made, someone took it well logged onto it I mean. At the end of the day we shared reflections in class and then the bell rang and everyone simply all rushed while I stayed and got some wool for my french knitting.

28/6/11 Tuesday

Today in the first block our whole class worked on our RLL documentary which in my group we had to do our script and say where we were up to and what next and then send it to the teacher on our school email.

Last block we had Life Education where we learnt about friends and friendships and stuff like that and next time we are going to learn more about bulling and how alcohol can effect our bodies which well be fun, weird but interesting.

29/6/11 Wednesday

Well today in the first block we did math which for math I stayed down on the mat with the teacher and we did like converting cm in to mm and yeah stuff like that and we did it until about 10:00. At 10:00 the principal came in to talk to us about staying for years 7-8. Then the feed and read bell went at 10:20 so we got our food out and the teacher like showed us a movie, see it on our front page which is GHS room 28. Morning tea well My friends Amy and Jessie and I went to the library and did some french knitting which mine is as long as my living room. Then my other friends Bella, Josie and I think it was Breanna (I hope thats how I spell her name) came in and watched all of us, Surprisingly they seem to do that alot. The bell rung for all of us to go back class so we packed up and went back and I tried to run on my foot a bit well a jog at least but it just hurt to much so I just tried to walk slowly. So I got back to class and french knitted while I waited for the teacher to come. What we did in the second block was help Miss Mayall brainstorm ideas well at least think of ideas not necessarily brainstorm but ideas we just helped her out with some ideas on what would make year 6's now stay for at least year 7 and we came up with a billion ideas but one of my most favourites is having a year 7-8 lounge which would be so epic. When we got up to what we disliked about year 7-8 at this school well the people that didn't really want to stay and contribute just went and did some of their work like the newspaper. I left cause I thought I should go do my newpaper but it ended already completed and finished it which was good so I went and tried to pick the right moment to ask the teacher what I should do and she said that I should go and help someone so I helped Bree with hers. Lunch Bree And Rosie and I went to library and french knitted and the same friends came which were Bella and Josie and Breanna. Some younger kids came to and a teacher asked to see how long my french knitting was and she also taught me how to finger knit and hope I still do remember how. Last block I french knitted again when I wait for the teacher and then when she came she said go with a partner and read our learning journey to them for when we have the student led - conferences which mine is tomorrow and this is taking the place of the parent teacher conference I think it is. At around 2 o'clock We did a clean up for when the people that did the student led - conferences did it today so that the parents wouldn't was a mess. At 2:30 we went to room 14 to do a travel wise thing where a couple people at a time when up to the big map of gulf harbour and we had a special coloured sticker we would place on where we live and the special coloured sticker was compared to how you got to school and I get to school in a car so it was a red sticker I think and then we placed a monopoly house on it and we got a sticker that we put on ourself that said It's cool to walk to school and a blue bird was in the middle of the words but I forgot what the name for it was. We came back to class and had reflection like always which that was my day.

30/6/11 Thursday

Today at 5:30 is my Student Led conferences. ( I don't know if it is a good thing or bad thing.) Well today in the first block we did some shared writing about a mad scientist a dog and football. At around 10 minutes until 10:00 we went by ourselves and continued with the story. At 10:00 we tided our trays so we could find over due books either library or resource books. When we finished tiding our tray we would do this little booklet that we got from Life Education. Morning tea I updated my wiki. In the middle, well we had Mrs. Thorpe we had as a teacher for that block which she is like really good at set out. So anyway back to what we did: We did our RLL (Real Life Learning) documentary which i'm in the mystery detictives group which we are doing our documentary on crop circles. Well in my group we finished sending the teacher our notes and I sorted out all our music like what is the intro and all that. That took basically a whole block and we also had like a mini team meeting ( The reason we had like a mini one was because the animator Blake was away so the group wasn't complete.) At lunch well I was playing with Rosie, Jessie, Sophie, Keagan, Bree, Bella, Josie and Breana until Keagan and I went to get something from the class cause we were outside the library and then when we came back well Sophie went to see her mum and then all the others followed apart from Jessie, Keagan, Bella and I. So we went into the library and just french knitted and talked but Bella isn't in my class and she doesn't do french knitting so she just talked basically. Last block we went to library but Jessie and Keagan and I were already there so we just stayed their and knitted. We didn't do much at library and surprisingly it wasn't loud and noisey. After that we went back to class to finish oour newspaper but I finished so I helped the teacher. The people that finished helped the teacher do cutting our Id's for our mystery dectives theme and would laminate them.

1/7/11 Friday

A pinch and a punch for the first of the month. Today is the first day of July. Today in the first block of the day we did the spelling test which we did on tuesday but now was the final one and if you got a couple wrong you would have to go to my dad ( Todd ) and he would hold your book and would ask you how to spell the ones you got wrong which I got 5 wrong because I forgot to practice. ( He he he ) After I did that well I asked the teacher ( Miss Mayall) if I could go to another class and ask what time I should be back. She said yes so I went to another class and worked on my second comic life and had to be back by 10:15. Morning tea I finished my comic life the second and updated my wiki. Second block well everyone came back to class and then the teacher said we have to go to out buddy class to do buddy time which is room 20 and my buddy is so cute. She is a year 2. I had to do like a spelling test and have a word on this piece of paper and quickly flick it over to show her and she would have to say it that most fast she could. We had to make a sentence out of those words. We played a word game on the computer. Until finally we went outside and played on the playground.
