The school Disco

 "Mum we are almost there" I said excitedly in the car, mum was taking me to my first ever school disco. At the school disco there is always a theme:

This time the theme was... 'Your Favorite Rock Star'. I don't have a favorite rock star, so I just dressed up as some crazy person. I dressed in a pinky orange sparkly dress, black shiny leggings and sparkly shoes. As mum pulled over to park, one of my best friends, Holly G, and her friend Alex L, were walking to the disco. Holly saw me and waited for me to get out of the car. Once we got to the hall I was ready for 1 hour of party rocking. I danced my socks off (even though I wasn't wearing any socks) and I sertanly blew of mr. R's socks because I won a bag of lollies. By the end of the disco I was so tired and I can't wait for the next school disco.

Over coming my fear of deep water.

I had made the inter school triathlon team for C.S.N.S. I was very nervous to compete as I am not confident at swimming. However, I can run and bike like the wind so with some encouragement I decided to give it a go.

BOOM! I splashed into the Freyberg pool, I was finally on the last stage of the triathlon. As my head went under the water, I got a bit of a shock. The water was so deep and I am kind of scared of really deep water.

By the third lap I was out of fuel but then I heard one of my best friends, Holly, yell "GO DOROTHY!!!". As soon as I heard this, I powered to the end of the race as fast as my legs could take me. 

When I left the pool I felt like I had let the team down, because by the end of the run I was in the top 10, by the end of the bike I was in 15th place and over all I came 35. 

Sad and unhappy I left the pool, I had never felt so bad in my life. Tears rolled down my rosey red cheeks.

Holly rushed over to see me. She  saw that I was sad so she comforted me. She gave me a big crunchy chocolate bar, and a piece of bubble gum. 

But no matter how hard everyone tried, nothing, and no one was going cheer me up, even Holly. 

Eventually, after a few weeks, I felt proud that I had done it. I now want to take more risks and do things that scare me.

My favorite space to learn in Gri11 2.0 is.......

In GRi11 2.0 my favorite spaces to learn are the hideout and the hub. The hideout is a silent room. If you need to catch up on some work, or you just can't concentrate with people around you then the hideout is the place for you! The hub is the main classroom it is like a mixture of a physical room, a relaxation room, a social room, and an inspiration room. There are two social rooms. They are called the hall of fame and the hangout.
