Blah Blah and more boring things on the first day of school!

WALT - Understand what is needed for Persuasive Writing 

As most of you all know how it goes, when a Term ends and another Term starts ( for Pt England school ) we continuously begin with an immersion assembly. An immersion assembly means that the management team ( The staff ) prefers a theme for Pt England school and so we use it during the term. Our theme for term 3 is Something in the water - He mea I roto I te wai.

On the 22nd of July, we had an immersion assembly, walking through the breeze I could smell something delicious but when I sat down. The plate was coming towards me It smelt nice but I had no appetite to eat then we had video clips of performances to what we are learning this term
From team 1 to team 5 we either have a performance to show or have a video clip. Each team has a different thing they are learning about but has the same theme which is something’s in the water. It always goes in order of what the teams are learning about.

From what I could see and understand from watching team one’s video clip, there’s this team called S.O.F.A which stands for solutions for animals ( The O is just for fun ). They help animals. Like the last semester ( Term ) how they helped the bees. Instead of the bees dying, team 1 was trying to make them survive. So they are learning about saving animals.

Team 2 had a video clip That showed teachers walking alongside the lake in Tahuna Torea reserve they walked along the beach and saw a couple a sea fish they talked about what kind of fish it is, and what it does.

Team three's video clip was kind of interesting because there was only one character ( Romona ) and a few fishes talking. Romona was talking to the fishes asking them would they be the perfect sea animal to look after the sea and the animals in it.

I was gonna fall asleep by the time I was watching team 4s video It was boring at first but once I kept my big eyes on the screen I was really interested in it. They stood on this rock at Pt England beach and saw some fish swimming in the sea. talked about how many incredible things it can do Is it big, small.

and lastly, Team five ( That kept me swaying side to side ) had performed on stage, representing the 5 things that are in a cell, which are called Cell ( Obviously ) Nucleus, Chromosome, DNA, and Gene. They even sang a song that included all fives things.

Read Guitar Tab

WALT - Read guitar Tab.

At tech @ Tamaki college, in music we had to play a song called Feel Good inc - by the GORILLAZ. It took me probably half of the music lesson learning on a guitar. I felt like I wanted to stop, but as I finally got the rhythm I wanted to finish until I finished what was prepared for the whole group. I had got the rhythm and I showed it to the my music teacher ( Whaea Trina ) I was proud of myself 

1.  What is Guitar Tablature? It’s a different way to read music on a guitar.

2. How many strings on a standard acoustic guitar? 6 Strings

3. Name the strings from the lowest pitch to highest pitch? E,A,D,G,B and e

4. What do the 6 lines of guitar tab represent? The strings of the guitar

5. What do the numbers represent? The frets

6. What is a riff ? A riff is a repetitive line a song - like a chorus

TASK DESCRIPTION - Learning how to play a song on a guitar called Feel Good inc - By the GORILLAZ, Here are some tips about guitars.

The best holiday of going over seas ( Just kidding, I wish though )

WALT - a persuasive writing about my holiday. 

 On the last of school in term 2, I knew that it was going to be another holiday of doing nothing, just simply chores, reading, blogging and maths as usual, like a regular kid would do.

 So I'll demonstrate everything I did in the first week, so my siblings and I were planning on going to the Auckland libraries near the G.I. Shops to join the holiday program making creative things that started at 10:00, and finished at 11:00. So on a Monday, we had to get up early like about I'd say 7:00 ( I guess your thinking that's not early, like 5 o clock but it's really early for us.

 Next, we had to clean before we could go so My older sisters and I had our chores to do. After we had finished our chores we went shower ate breakfast and got changed. Then we left. We were mostly late for often all of those activities. But we often didn't care. I issued some books for my little sisters and me, but I hardly read them ( Meaning as I didn't read a single book during the 2 weeks of holiday.

 Well, you get the idea of what I had done in the first week well I repeated what I did in the first week and in the second week. Well I didn't enjoy my holiday but it was worth having to sit around and do some chores when I am bored.

TASK DESCRIPTION - Our focus is writing about our school holidays
