Tech Posts

Tuesday 4 March 2014 Today I did music tech with Miss Story first we did keyboard and i learned two notes it was really fun. Next we did guitar and I also learned 6 notes and it was way harder than keyboard. Next we split up into groups of four and did ukulele I was with Xavier Noah and Jhan. Then we gathered round Miss Storey and played the ukulele together. I had an awesome time at music tech and can't wait for tomorrow. Wednesday 5 March 2014 Today I did Music Tech again with Miss Storey first we split up into 3 groups we were in group 2. First we used the keyboard and garage band to record our keys and also we could play around with sounds a bit. Next we did Guitar we got about 3 minutes to practice our notes before Miss storey assesses us, I passed every note but 1 so I can practice tomorrow. Next we did keyboard we practiced our notes but she didn't have time to asses us. Thursday 6 March 2014 Today I did music Tech for the second to last day. Today we had to make a song about a crunchie bar I paired up with Xavier it was really funny because we made up our own version it was pretty cool. Me and Xavier went into the back room. we had to get the keyboard one of our laptops and the headphones. Then we recorded it. When we finished we had to present it to the whole room. we didn't get to judge the winner but i'm sure we won. Friday 7 March 2014 Today was the last day of music Tech we all got assessed on the ukulele, then did a worksheet and then did some of the normal rotations. It was weird doing music tech for the last time. At the end of tech we all played some ukulele together it was really fun.

Rimu Swimming Sports

25m Breaststroke “Yr 8 boys 25m breaststroke to the line” I quickly grabbed my goggles and everyone speed walked to the cones. I was in the 5th lane. There was a few people lined up before me so I had a little bit of time to see who I was facing. To be honest I had a pretty hard group they were all good swimmers and then there was me. My group got called to the line, I didn’t know whether to dive in or to hope in the pool and start. I decided to dive it was a good choice because I got that little bit of more speed. “CLAP” I dived in like a dolphin it felt awesome. I got above the water and took a deep breath my goggles were slipping down I said in my head “ damn I knew I should've tightened them!!!”. I just stayed concentrated on my strokes. I was past halfway I knew I needed to push a little bit more harder. I reached to touch the wall “what did I get what did I get?” yuss I got second thats pretty good for me. The boy handed me the blue stick I was so stoked.

45 Min Inquiry

Possums are nocturnal they only come out at night. possums are pests to New zealand they destroy natural forest and they eat all the shrubs and sometimes kiwi fruit in orchards. Possums have red eyes so in the night you can sometimes see them. Possums freeze when they see light so thats why you see heaps of dead possums on the road because they freeze when the see the headlights.
