tts csi

On Monday the 2nd of May we had T.T.S. (traditional teaching style). We couldn't enter the classroom until 8.50am. At the start of school everyone on the deck was confused. When we got inside Mr R said we weren't allowed to smile. It was very hard to not smile that was the longest time I've ever not smiled for.

Next we had to do maths with a pencil and a textbook. That was the dumbest part of all because I am used to working with computers, not textbooks. Then we did dictionary skills but the teachers were too fast and I couldn't keep up with them. That made me feel guilty and I was worried that they would tell me off.  If we had to do this everyday, I would not want to come to school.

At morning tea we had to march across the school. It was really embarrassing because the little kids were staring at us.  After that we had to play a game of walking tag. Walking tag is when you have to walk around the the boundaries and try to tag people. It was fun and I might want to do it again.  It is probably the only thing from our TTS experience that I would want to do again!

After morning tea we had to sit down and the teachers started to laugh in front of us. They told us they had been using TTS so we would appreciate what we have in our class and how it helps us learn. I felt relieved that we wouldn't have to do that again!

My Favourite Thing in GRi11 is ...

My favourite thing in GRi11 2.0 is Fast Track.

Fast Track is a grid made in Google Sheets that has our learning listed in it. It lists the tasks and where the tasks can be found. Once we finish the tasks we copy the link, shorten the URL, then we put the link into Fast Track and highlight it green.

There are Maths, Integration, Writing, Reading and other tasks. My favourite task is Maths because it has fun tasks. If you don’t know where the tasks are, it has it under the tasks that are on the top of the page. And that is my favourite thing to do in learning.
