Week 4 Term 3


I cant remember much from last week apart from that I took photos at the band festival. It was fun and cool to listen to the bands play. I also had a go at trying to program the robots, but got frustrated and started programming a sphero instead. In music we played more kahoot and learnt about Asian music. It was cool. We also learnt a bit about rock'n'roll music. A major icon of rock'n'roll is Elvis Presely. We did ICAS Maths as well. I think I did okay, but I'll probably get participation anyway. There was also a cupcake day. I didn't buy any but there were some really cool designs. Some people did there speeches. Mine is on Monday. I would like to finish this blog with  a quote by Elvis, Thank you, thank you very much.

Week 2 Term 3


This week has been very tiring because I have netball everyday after school apart from Monday, but I have dance on Monday and Dance on Thurday. I am very tired and will probably fall asleep during class. Last week in music we did reggie music and focused alot on Bob Marley. We learnt how to play the song "Three Little Birds" on the guitar, keyboard and drums. We put all these imstuments together and it sounded cool. Then at the next lesson we did Blues music. We learnt about where blues music came from and about how it came from slavery years and years ago. We learnt how to play a Blues melody on the keyboard and guitar. We then played a game of Kahoot. We did one quiz on music and the other was about movies. I can't remember who won the first one, but Shaun won the second one and I came forth. The nicknames I used were- bter than u, and Bacon. On Saturday I played netball against another Te Awamutu Intermediate team. We won 37-10. In this game I learned to control myself when going for the ball because I contacted alot and had to adjust myself. On Sunday I went to a netball tournament. We won this tournament very convinsingly. I enjoyed this tournament alot because it was very physical and alot faster than Saturday netball. It was a good oppurtunity also for our coach to work out combinations and stratigies that will suit our play. Another good thing about it was there was alot of team bonding happening on and off the court. I have nearly finished the challenges in robotics apart from one which I get very fustrated with. After I have finished them I can go on and build a robot to programe.
