Rhythm Interactive

We went to the hall and we had some drums to drum with. Lucy and Johnny played the drums for us. They showed us how to drum. We copied them. They said: "If you can say it then you can play it." The things they had us say were: "I like drums, I like drums, I like drums, drums, drums," and "Yes I like it very, very much." They played us a solo song. He was playing a harmonica, too. It sounded like a train. At the end, they used a magic box. Some children got to sing on the stage.  Have a look at the videos of this:

Pasifika

This week in Pasifika, Mr Siilata and the older children taught us some new dances. The boys learned a  Samoan Faitaupati (a slap dance) and the girls learned a Samoan Siva (please, if this is wrong, correct me). Have a look at the older children teaching the younger children. Remember this is their first try at doing this.

Planting a Tree

In assembly this morning we got a plant because we posted our pledge on our blog yesterday. This afternoon we went to the back of the school to plant it. First we dug a hole with the spades. Then we put the plant in the hole. Next we filled in the hole with the dirt. Finally we watered the plant. Have a look at the pictures we took.

Shapes!

Mr Davidson told us to make pictures with shapes. We could use triangles, rectangles, circles, hexagons, ovals and squares. Have a look at the videos we took talking about our pictures:
