Dear Future Self

! Dear Future self !


Gri11 2.0 has been the best year I have ever had! We learn on computers all the time. Which is a good thing and a bad thing because I love learning in books but we never do but i also love learning on computers because Its faster but not so easy for the teachers to mark if we don’t put our links into fastrack.


A very memorable moment that I have In Gri11 2.0 is saying to Liam “I’m more of a man than you’ll ever be!” from then on my name was Nathaniel and Liam’s was Lisa. I am proud of lots of things some of them are sports, kids 4 kids, athletics and the digi awards.


I have been involved in quite a lot of things like tennis, netball, touch rugby, girls cricket, Rippa rugby, kids 4 kids, Richoh and lucky last the digi awards. I love to take some responsible risks and I like to think i’m a happy and healthy college street kid but next year i want exactly be a college street kid anymore.

Athletics Day !!!

Finally the day of sports and not learning ATHLETICS DAY!!! I was in the Takahe house their are three others their Weka, Kea and Tui they all have their own colours Takahe is blue, Weka is red, Kea is green and Tui is yellow.


My favourite athletic sport is the relays, even though we didn't win but we came second which is better than nothing. I also love high jump and thankfully I got a high score of 4 points! I love being in the Takahe house because my favourite colour is blue and its sad that I have to leave it next year because I'm a year six at my school.


I'm glad my mum came because it was my last athletics day at College Street, next year I'll be at PNINS and their long distant track is really long. There was shot put, long distance,  high jump, long jump, hurdles, sprints and the lucky last relays!


Well thats all I have to say about Athletics, and its THE BEST !!!

Cultrual Junior Jammers !

We have been learning about cultural diversity this term and today our group decided to take some action!!! We invited the junior syndicate to do some cultural jump jam with us to show them that even though we are all different that everyone should be treated the same as everyone.

It was really fun, we taught them three different jump jams the names of the jump jams were Kotahitanga, Kung Fu Fighting & Chori Chori. I loved seeing all the smiles on their little faces! It was so cute and we loved it as well!!!

Fathers Day !

! Just Dad and i !

My dad is funny, loving, kind and tells good dad jokes. He loves taking me to the races with him, and once when i was little I was really cold and put my legs through the arms of my jacket which made him cracked up laughing! He is really good at making curried sausages which is really yummy and it’s my favourite.


He was very strong when my Poppa passed away and he was glad that he took us that day before he had past. He had a very wonderful speech it made me cry, I think my speech made him cry too. My dad was also funny because he brought a bottle of red wine and it said on the front of it “I Earned This” it was funny but sad at the same time so I didn’t know what to feel at that moment in time.


He always gets on Mum’s bad side like leaving the oven on unattended, putting a dent in Mum’s car. Once he was backing out of the garage and he wasn’t paying attention to the left side mirror and it broke and it hurt my ears but it was funny, she got quite mad at that as well.


Now let’s get onto the stuff that he is good at. He is good at cooking dinner and really good at doing his job at goodman fielder and sometimes brings me home a  chocolate milk. He always does the dishes for Mum and I nearly every night, so we have clean plates and utensils for the morning.


We bond over rugby league because I do his picks for him and he knows I hate the Eels so he will pick them for me. We also bond over picking the race horses, I only pick the horses with names that I like, once I picked three horses and they all came 1st 2nd and 3rd it was really funny!


😘 ! I love my Dad and I know he loves me too ! 😍

Up the Prices of Sugary Drinks

Sugary Drinks are to Cheap!


In the UK they have upped the prices of  sugary drinks like most fizzy drinks, energy drinks and some juices. I think New Zealand should up the price of fizzy drinks too, so kids don’t have drinks like coke for breakfast instead of milk. People buy fizzy drinks because it’s cheaper than water and that should change sugary drinks should be more expensive than water, because people have to drink at least one litre of water a day. New Zealand is already known as one of the most unhealthy countries in the World and New Zealand has over taken America in Obesity and we’re a tiny country compared to America.

Once again I will ask you please up the price of sugary drinks,
Kids don’t need them every single day of their lives,
Because kids need to live a happy and healthy life.

Thank You!

Back to the good old days !

Traditional Teaching Style

I had goosebumps on my arms as I entered the classroom. The tables were lined row after row after row, there were names on desks with books next to them. I got a sticker for no reason in my head i was like what the!? My hands were shaking every time the teachers yelled at someone.

1.Roll/Notices 2.National Anthem 3.Maths 4.Dictation 5.Adjectives 6.Dictionary Skills 7.Chanting  8.Handwriting 9.Eating 10.Marching 11.Organised Play.

We got one thing from our lunchbox then went and sat back down. “BITE, CHEW” Mr R said. One bite at a time I was like OMG what is this madness?! The class lined up and went outside for morning tea play I guess? There was a girls line and a boys line on the quad facing opposite directions,we were doing marching all of a sudden, “STOP LAUGHING BIEL” yelled Miss G.

After all that madness the class went inside, Mr R & Miss G started to smile, so we knew something was up… Mr R was like “do you know how hard that was for us”. All kids are very lucky they don’t learn like that anymore, Miss G told us that they never said the word learn they only said the word WORK!



Hope you enjoyed!


Zuba Circus

It was William’s Birthday but it was also the day of the opening day of The amazing Zuba Circus . His parents decided for a birthday treat. It was a surprise for William, his parents said “it’s time to go”
“Go where?’ said William confused.
So they got in the car, and started to drive to this mysterious circus for William’s birthday. They arrived at the circus William’s parents said “close your eyes please”
they walked him into the circus. His parents said“open your eyes”. William said ‘WOW!” Tears started to come down his face, he turned to his parents and gave them an enormous hug, they brought a picnic basket with bananas, chocolate, sandwiches and more. Williams parents went and got the tickets for the show, he came across a 16 year old acrobat, “what’s your name” said William politely, “my name is Jill, i’m performing tonight” can’t wait to see you tonight!” said William excitedly.

He was going to see where his parents were until he heard the words, banana?? William saw a herd of minions come towards him!! William ran as fast as his heart could take, he opened a door went inside, the minions locked the door behind. William turned around he was scared for his life, he was in…
The Alligators Cage!!! He started to panic and walk round in circles and bite his nails until he trips over the alligator’s tail, the alligator twitch's his head, William starts to freak out even MORE!

The minions are still outside the cage they started to yell and scream, the alligator started to wake up he backed up to the door and fell back,he realised that the owners daughter had opened the door. “Thanks” said William smiling with joy, “no problemo” said the girl, “what your name” said William “my name is Jessie, what’s yours”
“William” said William. “Do you wanna watch the circus with me” uttered William, “sure” said Jessie excitedly. William went to meet up with his parents outside the circus tent with Jessie by his side. “Mum Dad this is Jessie the owner’s daughter she’s going to watch the circus with us,”
“Nice to meet you Jessie”
“You too.”
They walked into the circus tent, they had gotten front row seats, there was a bear riding a unicycle with a bow in its fur and a pink tutu round the bears waist. Everyone cracked up laughing, then an acrobat started swinging from the ceiling, she jumped onto the bear’s back and did jazz handz.

After the show had finished they walked out of the circus holding hands together. They kept in touch and they ended up being best friends.

Once Upon A Time ...

Once upon a time there was a little girl called Emma she was the daughter of the most fierce leaders in the enchanted forest their names were Snow White and Prince Charming. Emma grew up in the normal world without her parents, because her parents were saving her from the Evil Queen that wanted to ruin Snow Whites happiness because Snow White ruined hers.  

When Emma had turned 20 she got a letter in the mail box saying "go just outside of town." Emma was really confused of why someone would want her to do that, the next morning she got in her yellow bubble car and drove outside of town. It took her to this little town called StoryBrooke. 


Emma was greeted by the mayor and she said "Welcome to StoryBrooke" said the mayor aka the Evil Queen. Nobody knew that they were fairytale characters, they had been brain washed by a curse and sent them to this world and lost all their memories. "So who are you exactly" said Emma, "I'm the Mayor of this beautiful town but you can call me Regina" said the Mayor. I'll show you around a little, Regina didn't know that Emma was the mother of Henry which Regina adopted some time ago. Henry knew exactly who she was and every one else in this town, so did Regina she banished everyone here because she wanted her happy ending which hasn't happened just yet. Mr Gold knew everyone as well the curse didn't work on him because he is ... "THE DARK ONE!" He hold all the dark magic  that every evil person could ever live for!!! 

The curse happened some time ago their were a lot of princes and princess still their like Aurora and Phillip, Ariel and Eric, and many more. Emma had gone there to save the town but she doesn't know that will she do it .....

My Hieroglyphic Narritive

✈️   The Plane Crash ✈️


Emma was filled with indulgence after her parents had just told her they were going on a holiday to Australia. Emma and her family packed their bags and hopped in the car to Auckland airport. “Are you excited?” said Emma’s dad, “duh this is the best day of my life” said Emma! But that was all about to change.



7 hours later…

Emma and her family finally arrived at the airport with their bags, and put them on the plane. Emma and her family looked around for a little bit then finally “flight to Perth taking off in 15 minutes” said the speaker. Emma and her family skittered onto the plane and started flying high in the sky. The flight attendants were really nice they gave Emma lollies and a can of soda. Emma’s favourite movie to watch in “Into the Woods” it's a bunch of fairy tales in one movie, suddenly there was a big thump, “sit tight we are going to crash land - warning we are going to crash land!” “Oh no daddy are we gonna die?” “I can’t answer that sweetie” said Emma's dad. A red light started flashing, everyone started to panic, the plane was going down and in a very fast motion.

Boom-graphic..pngThe Plane went up in flames Emma was the only survivor. Emma started running through the gushing sea water to a island in the middle of nowhere. Emma sat down on the sand and started to cry, “this is the worst holiday ever!” said Emma in tears. Emma started to get really thirsty so she ran into the forest there was a little water stream so Emma kneels down and cups some water in her hands. She hops across the water, until suddenly she slips on a rock and fell on her arm! Emma starts to cry “why did this have to happen to me” said Emma gouging her eyes out. She finally got the courage to stand up and do something about her fractured arm. She goes to a bush and picks some leaves off to make a bandage.


She ran back to the beach and picked up a broken stick and started to write SOS in the sand. Emma sets up camp on the beach, the tent was made out of sticks and leaves, she made a fire with some sticks and rocks or she would’ve frozen to death. Emma started to get really hungry she felt like she was going to perish, Emma had some food in her bag that was on the plane, she runs to the plane to see if her bag survived the crash. The plane isn’t on fire anymore but it doesn’t make it any easier for her. Her bag was right where she left it, she takes her bag and heads back to her little campsite. The view from the beach was beautiful, the sunset was all kinds of different colours, pink, red, yellow and orange it was real ravishing.


The Next Day...


Emma wakes up and goes to the stream again, suddenly Emma hears a rustling noise coming from the bush. She fills her drink bottle that she found in her backpack, she walks back to the camp and then abruptly Emma feels like she's being followed “who's there” yelled Emma, a boy jumps out of the bush Emma’s jaw dropped with shock, “where did you come from?!?!” said Emma. “I came the same way you did accept i didn’t break my arm” said the boy, “what's your name boy” said Emma, “Aiden what's yours” said the boy, “Emma do you want to come back to my camp?” said Emma, “sure” said Aiden. They walked back to the camp together, they played hide ‘n’ seek together all over the island so it was nearly impossible to find each other. Emma was seeking and Aiden was hiding, unexpectedly Emma saw a big shadow billowing over her head. Emma looked up to see a hot air balloon, “Aiden there's a hot air balloon at the camp!” shouted Emma. Aiden started to run back to the camp as fast as a cheetah. The hot air balloon started to land, “are you guys okay?” said the driver, “our plane crash landed on this island” said Aiden. “Why don’t you come with us back to Palmy?” said the driver, “sure!” said Emma and Aiden. Emma and Aiden hopped in the hot air balloon and enojoyed the ride home.

My 2016 Calendar Art!

🎶This is my 2016 Calendar Art from our Cinderella & Rockerfella Production we did in term 2. We did this because it's getting closer to the end of the year and we want to remember all the good times we had at the Production, before we head off to Intermediate. 🎤

! Agency Target Explanation !

Hi I hope you enjoy my piece of writing I have done about the Agency Target if you don't know what it is the n sit back and relax.

What is the Agency Target???

When you first look at it you think it’s a dart board, but no it’s really our target for us striving to our goals and being the best learners we can be. There are six segments of the agency target, Learning Spaces, Managing and Designing our own Learning, Knowing myself as a Learner, Collaboration, Striving for Excellence and The Learning Pit. There are three stages  Red, Orange and Green, Red being guided, Orange being managing self and Green being  Empowered Agentic.


Learning Spaces is where you make the best decisions for YOUR learning, If you were sitting next to your friends talking about something that has nothing to do with your learning then you should probably move, but if you were red (guided) the teacher would come and remind you that it’s probably not the best for your learning. If you were orange (managing self) you would sit with your friends if you think it’s the best for your learning and that you are talking about your learning not something like deciding what to wear tomorrow. If you were Green (Empowered Agentic) the teacher would trust you to do learning outside without getting distracted by the people around you.



The learning pit is a pit that helps us with our learning and if you fall in The Learning Pit it means that you are are actually learning and thinking really hard about your learning and doing the best you can do to get out of the learning pit. Some people don’t like to fall into the learning because they are scared they are going to fail, so they just walk across the top of the pit and don’t do much learning.


Knowing yourself as a Learner is very important when you are learning in class because you can decide what workshops you need to go to when they going to happen during the week. If you were red (guided) the teacher would help you identify your strengths and weaknesses instead of you discovering them yourself. If you were orange (managing self) you would start discovering your strengths and weaknesses by yourself and it’s better to work them out by yourself because you get in the learning pit and dig yourself out.


Collaboration is about being in a group with people you normally don’t work with. If you were red (guided) you would get into a group of people that you are comfortable working with, but in real life you won’t always work with people you like. If you were orange (managing self) I would get in a group of people for all different reasons, and i would share my ideas and give feedback to the other people in my group. If I was Green (Empowered Agentic)I would ask for some good feedback and give some good feedback to the other people in my group.


Managing and Designing my own Learning is what it says it’s managing and Designing your Learning, if you were red (guided) the teacher would plan your day for you. If you were orange (managing self) you would be learning to plan your own day and following the inquiry process that is needed for your learning. If you were green (empowered agentic)you would be able to plan your day independently and you make the most of your learning time, all the time.


We have the agency target because it helps us with school but it will help you with stuff out of school as well. We are developing the agency because we are year six’s so the teachers are preparing us for Intermediate next year.  


Striving for Excellence is a type of learning where you always strive to do your best learning you can do. H.O.M (habits of Mind) is a big role in Striving for Excellence because you use them in your everyday life, if you’re working at an office and you want to impress your boss with a piece of writing you would want it to be one of your best pieces of writing, but really all your pieces of writing should be your best writing, so always strive to your goals and reach for the stars.

Our Whole School Production

Cinderella & Rockerfella

Our school has put together a whole school production, it was on the 4th & the 5th of July. Our main characters were Cinderella & Rockerfella aka Kristy & Terado. I was in Act 2 as a ball room guest and i was also in the time dance. The time dance was my favourite part because we had a black light on us and you could only see the gloves we were wearing.I bet it was hard getting six hundred kids on for the finale. SO I would like say thank you to Miss Watanie Persan , Miss Bluet and the biggest thanks to Miss  G, and a huge thanks to all the teachers that helped us get on stage at the right time.

But really a thanks can't explain how much i mean it so.

Thank you!

My production character is...

                    This year our school has a production called Cinderella & Rockerfella, it has a little bit of a twist in it so we can really make it unique.

The story starts off with the life of Cinderella, she is a very nice girl but she has two ugly sisters that are really mean to her and gave her a list of chores to do on the night of the Rockerfella concert, but she has helping hand from her best friend buttons. Then there's the life of Rocky, but not all is good in the life of the fame & fortune.

Im one of the guests at the after party and we rock out to the band and clap for the Kardashian's crew, Chelsea Winter, Taylor Swift and Richie Mc'caw. Im also in the time dance, when we are on stage nobody will see us because we will be wearing black clothes and white gloves, so the black light won't pick up our clothes.

My favourite part about the Time Dance is the ending when all of the fairy brigade come on and they're all freaking out because of the time and there trying to turn the clocks back for pore old Cinderella. Good for Rocky Cinders left one of her shoes behind and they lived...


Happily Ever After.

My favourite thing about GRi11 2.0

To me Gri11 is like future learning.
Well you get to talk with your friends as long as you are still doing your work, so kinda like multitasking. My favourite thing about our learning space is have all the different rooms that link to hauora.





The learning spaces are the Hideout which is the blue part of hauora, the Hangout which is the green part of hauora, and The Hub is all of hauora and so is The Hall of Fame.
The learning spaces are the Hideout which is the blue part of hauora, the Hangout which is the green part of hauora, and The Hub is all of hauora and so is The Hall of Fame.



Our classroom is by far the biggest classroom with four space to learn in. So that’s why I love GRi11 2.0 soooo much.

Fingerspelling-Sign Language

A few weeks ago it was sign language week. The teachers decided that we should do an imovie of ourself spelling our name in sign language. I taught my sister Bex how to sign her name because at her work she is working with a girl who is deaf so sign language helped her.

Getting Chased by minions!?!?


Becca loves minions, she has a minion duvet, minion pillow, minion pyjamas, etc.She's been craving this day forever it was time,Villain Con is here for Becca this is the best day of her life. It was just a couple of hours until Villain Con opened, "are you ready yet Becca?" asked Mum.
"Nearly" replied Becca, her mums jaw dropped when she saw Becca come down the stairs. She was wearing a minion jersey, minion pants,minion socks, minion shoes and to top it off a minion bow in her hair. "I'm ready now" said Becca happily.

Finally the best day of Becca's life has come true she felt like buying everything in plain sight. She entered the theatre and she was in the V.I.P section of the theatre. The curtains raised, Becca could hardly stay in her seat. Scarlet Overkill walked on to stage like she was a model or something, Bob, Stewart and Kevin followed close behind. All the minions could look at was Becca, they started to run at Becca, Becca got up on her seat and started to run from the minions. She went up the escalator as fast as her little legs could carry her, the minions were in love with her, when Becca got to the top of escalator she saw mannequins and she pretended to be one. The minions didn't notice her so they ran straight past her, but they went back as soon as she had moved.

The minions grabbed her and started to hug her like crazy, Becca thought in her head they're not trying to hurt me they're trying to hug me? Becca asked her mum if she could take the minions home, "sure" said mum happily. So Becca lived the rest of her life with three minions,she promised she would always love them till the bottom of her existence.

Between me and you #BobtheBomb!

What is a TTS and a CSI???

What is a TTS?
Well it stands for Traditional Teaching style, when most adults were children they had to go school like we did on the 11th of May. 

What is a CSI ?

The C means what colour your feeling at the time.
S stands for what symbol  your thinking of.
The I stands for an image that would suit the situation.

We are soooo lucky we don't learn that way anymore, so i'm really grateful.

Sports Rotation

Every Tuesday at school the senior syndicate goes out for sports, there was a Gri11 girls class, and a boys Gri11 class. Theres a range of different sports like Tennis, Soccer and Badminton. The way it works is we get sent to a sport for 45 minutes then we rotate to a different sport. My favourite sport is tennis, I played inter club this year for tennis. We made it to the finals, and i just love tennis all round.

My mum LOVES tennis she got me into it in the first place, my mum & dad have always helped me with my tennis, so i can get better and better and one day maybe as good as  my mum. My mum says i have to play a sport in summer and winter, so in summer i play tennis and in the winter i play netball,so tennis is a good sport to play in the summer.

Mr Robertson was our tennis coach he taught us to freeze then go into a forehand then a backhand.
If you don't know what a forehand is I'll show you a picture of a forehand and a backhand.
I would LOVE IT if they added netball to our sport rotation, because its my favourite sport.

This is a backhand
This is a forehand

Making it to the Finals In Tennis

Last Saturday Te Kawau played tennis in the finals against Fielding. First we played doubles my doubles partner was Amelia, we lost in our doubles 5-7, I think we lost our luck charm which was my old friend Sara-Ann. Now time for the singles my dad said my Uncle Paul had texted and said give Nadia a hug for me so I got a free hug and it nearly choked me. Now lets get serious I played a little boy who was about 7, at the start I was doing quite well I was up 3-1 then I lost faith in myself and so started getting upset, so I ended up losing 3-7. At the end I was just happy that I had even made it to the finals, through the season Amelia and I were unbeaten in doubles. 

After it had all ended dad took me to see my Poppa in hospital, he was alright but he just has fluid around his lung preventing him from breathing properly. it was quite sad to see him in hospital but it was good to see him again. After we visited my Poppa we went to McDonalds and had lunch.

Warrior's VS BullDog's

Going to Wellington!

The first week of the Easter holidays were the most exciting. Mum, dad and I went to Wellington to watch the Warriors VS the Bulldogs Rugby League game. We were staying at a motel called The Bucket Tree, we unpacked all our stuff and started walking down to the train station. It was really packed on the train that means there will be lots of people at the stadium as well, before we went into the stadium we went and had dinner at McDonald's.

 I was wearing
reasonably warm clothes because it was really cold like Antarctica. When it started it was as loud as a pack of lions roaring. The Warriors had won I don't know what the score was but the bulldogs weren't far off so I'll say good game. When we got back to the Bucket Tree I made a hot chocolate to go to sleep.


In the morning Dad got us McDonald's for breakfast. I had three pancakes, they were really yum. That day we went shopping. I got a pair of New Balance sneakers, I say new balance stands for Nadia B, Dad got me a pair of Melbourne Storm shorts. While we were shopping we saw Lola from School. I was so surprised to see her, it was unlikely.

After our shopping spree we went back to the motel and packed all our stuff up and started the long travel home.

What is F.A.I.L???

                                      


What does F.A.I.L mean well it means First Attempt In Learning. If you fail don't give up get up and keep trying, it doesn't matter if you fail because you learn from your mistakes. Here is a quote that I found "If you've never failed you've never tried anything new." The learning pit is part of Fail because you fall in the learning pit and you fail and then you get back up and get out of the learning pit.

GRi11 2.0 watched a video of some people getting stuck on the escalator, they should have used there brains to just walk up the escalator, But there is a point to the video, in class people finish their work and don't know what to do, thats when their "stuck on the escalator." That's the point of the video. 
This the "Stuck on the Escalator" video. ENJOY!

South Island Time!!!

Looking out the window all I saw was glassy water. Just walking around on the ferry made me feel sick! I LOVED looking out the windows and looking down and seeing bubbling water. (Three hours later) finally we made it, it felt like the longest journey EVER! I was starving after that three hour trip here so mum,dad and I went and had lunch together. After lunch we went to the motel we were staying at, there were lots of twisty turny roads to get there. When we got there we checked in and the receptionist took us to our room, I was stunned the room was gorgeous the art work was so pretty and that's mostly because it was a flamingo. We got settled in and watched a movie on TV, I was hungry so we went out to this restaurant called Captains Daughter. My favourite part of the meal was the dessert it was the best! The next day we started travelling to Nelson on the way we stopped to go to a look out it was AMAZING!!! We got back in the car and carried on our journey to Nelson. The next day we went on a trip to go shopping, because it was our last day,mum, dad and I were walking around the market then we found this guy playing the piano, he found the piano in a dumpster he repaired the piano and played it at the market. After the market we went back to Picton and got on the ferry and went back to Wellington.

THE HUB


This Term GRi11 2.0 is learning about Hauora (our well being). We have named our learning spaces using the four hauora elements. The colours are red which is physical, blue which is spiritual, yellow which is mental & emotional and last but not least is green which is social wellbeing.

There are four spaces in GRi11 2.0;  The Hub, The Hangout, The Hall of Fame and The Hideout. The Hideout is a silent space (to target the blue part of hauora), the Hangout is a social space for Green and the Hall of Fame and Hub are all of the colours of Hauora.


My favourite space to learn in is in The Hub. The place of the Hub I like to work the most, is behind the girls' tote trays. My friends and I named it 'The Sub Hub' because my friend Ivy was hungry and she was thinking of Subway. I like working behind the girls' tote trays because it's where I can work with my friends and they can help me if I'm stuck on something. 



Working behind the girls' tote trays is cool. There is a desk up against the tote trays, a foosball table and a bean bag. The foosball is annoying sometimes because we always bang our head underneath it. Also I like it because I can access my tote tray really easily. 

Did you notice all the names of the spaces start with H?



Friends and I working in the "Sub Hub".

GRi11 2.0 Camp at Sixtus Lodge

This week GRi11 2.0 went on camp to Sixtus Lodge in Apiti.


My favourite part of camp was the  River Walk. I was excited and nervous. This time I wore the right pair of shoes. The caves were awesome. It felt like we were explorers in a cave like jungle. There were lots of obstacles in the cave that we had to climb up. Terado hid behind a  big log and then he jumped out and scared Ivy, it was quite funny but I felt bad for her. At the end there was a gap it had massive cockroaches and spiders in it,  Ivy and Milla said there was a spider above my head so I screamed.


Part of GRi11 2.0 going on a adventure to the River Walk
