Rhythm Interative's visit to PBS

Today after morning tea, PBS had a surprising guest named Johnny who was teaching us how to do beats and different songs with the djembe. The most important part is to make sure you have to get the right hand movement for tapping the drum. It was interesting when we had to listen carefully because some of the beats were hard. The message that the hole school heard to be a good drummer is if can say it you can play it this message inspired me to try my best and don't give up.

Tech

Graphics (Tech)

For term 2 week 8 LS2 year 7's stated designing games that they have to make using there on thinking for tech. we started of with a piece of paper and folded it in quarters (1/4). we had to make 4 different games that concluded on the games that you learnt about or food, for an example chess you can change the chess pieces into cup cakes and when you take over a cupcake chess piece than you eat it. I made a design where if you hook up a fish it will be a marshmallow than eat it.

Ballet

LS2 had a surprising guest from Viliami's hearing teacher which was a ballet teacher named Chloe. We learnt all about black swan and white swan and even made a dance about it, where we had to look at our formations, and a tip that Chloe said which was, commit on the movements to get the best effect. That tip inspired me to commit on anything to improve my movements and to try my best.

Waltzing Matilda

Today was about poetry, learning about banjo Paterson and the main idea of the poem. with the main idea of the poem Waltzing Matilda. Waltzing Matilda was about swag-man who was sitting under a coolibah tree. Then came down a sheep to drink from the tucker bag. Then the squatter (owner) caught him steeling then troopers came down to see who that sheep was. The message of this poem means to me as it was a hard life in Australia.

Tech (Graphics)

For term 2 week 6 at tech we started with our shading and parts of games that make us think. For an example what the game is made out of or pinning the object and naming them. After that we started to do easy ways on how to make a 3D shape, so then we started to shade in different tones but in the same colours. Light on top, medium in front and dark on the side

Literary Devices

Here is the link to my DLO.
LS2 is going into poetry and things to help us is these words that we learnt Hyperbole, Simile, onomatopoeia and others. Our teacher Mrs Anderson gave us a challenge on making a DLO using google docs only. This was a very difficult challenge because i had never managed to make a DLO out of google docs, but there was a twist LS2 could only use google docs as there explainer pictures. My favorite part about this was drawing the pictures because i had more experience on google drawing.
