Christchurch Symphony Orchestra Experience

We had other people who did some sounds for us!

We even had our own music we used buckets as drums and learned a few things about them and after we learned the music the school made all of the classes to show their music and I liked the people that did ukelele. I hope you like it guys see ya'll in the next post bye!!

Camp Experience!

 Today I'm gonna talk about what happened at camp

Let's get started

Before we got to camp we saw an old pool but it didn't have water in it then we played in the pool for a while but the teachers called us to have morning tea. After morning tea we had to walk until we reached the farm and we had to have our lunch there a few moments we saw a baby goat it was so cute and we even get to milk it! Then we get to feed the animals and they said that we had to make our hand straight or it will be the food. After we fed the animals we get to go on a tractor for 5 minutes and it turned out to be cool. When we got back from the farm we went inside to milk a cow it was cool and when we finished we went inside to see a sheep getting sheered and when I touched the fluffy wool it was greasy so I had to wash my hands. When it was done we were walking for so long but we get to see all the lava that turned into the rock a long time ago. The colors were amazing we took a photo of it as well. When we got to don's shed we get to eat a cake but it was sliced into squares after that we got to camp we were amazed by the houses, it looked like a luxurious hotel. Then we had to go to the conference room where we have meetings to have instructions before we had to do activities. When we do activities I liked to play with animal survival it was a game that you have to be chosen as a carnivore(meat-eating animal) or herbivore(vegetarian). Then there's rock climbing where we climb the walls and we played shark attack where if he says shark attack yo have to get on something or it will eat you it's just like the game called "The floor is lava". Then we get to swim every night which is cool. When we had to leave I brought my togs because someone said "We are swimming to a beach", when we reached the beach the water was cold so I just played with the sand then I went back to change my clothes and few moments we had to get home. Bye  

My rap

 Guys today I finished a rap that I have been working for so long and here it is so I'll show you the words before the recording

The sun is very bright and yellow

So don’t look or you’ll be blind young fellows

It’s too hot when you go close to the sun

So you might need some cold water it’s the number one

Make sure you tell the rumor to your son

When it’s too chilly gets some warmness

Just don’t forget to inform us

And that info is enormous

Get some umbrella to protect you

It’s very important so the sun won’t get through 

I heard the sun is gonna die in 5 billion years

So don’t be scared and take out all your fears

We are gonna use the suns energy when we are a type 2 civilization

But today all we can do is build a space station

So they could collect some information

Just to help their education

And that space station isn’t even enough to fill up 1% of the  world population

The sun is in the center of our solar system

And if the sun has his last breathe all of the planets are his victim

My shadow by Robert L.S

Today we are checking out "My shadow"

 The connection I made to the title was it’s like when I had my shadow it does everything I do.

The poem was organized by having 4 stanzas with 16 sentences and in the poem the whole rhyming pattern was AABB.

The tone of the poem was a bit sad because the shadow was acting on his own.

The poetic devices I found in the poem were:

Personification: It said “And I see him jump before me” it’s talking about that he was slow, “The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow” he was liking it shadow does not have feelings, “he's a coward you can see” Shadows can’t be a coward unless the person was the coward which he was not, “Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.” The person was awake while his shadow was still asleep.

Simile: “For he sometimes shoots up taller like an India-rubber ball,” It was talking about 2 unlike things that are using like or as, same as this one “But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head,”

The poet wanted me or you guys to think about the poem. I thought about the poem like the shadow he was not following the person's movements.

This was an adventure guy's thanks for reading my blog. Bye

I wandered lonely as a cloud by William W

 Today my teacher found a poem for us to find out things and it's called "I wandered lonely as a cloud" by William Wordsworth.

The connection I found in the title was how sad if you were lonely without anyone.

The poem was organized with 4 stanzas and with 22 sentences, The whole poem’s rhyming pattern was ABABCC.

The tone of the poem was it was sad being lonely but you still find things that are fun.

The poetic devices that I found were:

Simile: it said  “I wandered lonely as a cloud” because a cloud is together but if you spread them apart he will have friends, and it said again “Continuous as the stars that shine”.

Hyperbole: It had “Golden Daffodils”  A daffodil can’t be gold if it was you’d have to use melted gold and it will burn the daffodil. It said “They stretched in never-ending line” it’s impossible having a never-ending line.

Personification: Where it said “The waves beside them danced” a wave can’t dance, I found another personification and it said “A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.” daffodils can’t dance.

The meaning of the poem and the poem wanted me to think about this poem was even if you don’t have friends you can try joining other people.

Finding out about Robert Frost

Today we are going to find out about Robert frost.

Robert frost is an American poet he was born on 26 March in 1874. He died on 29 January 1963 which means he died at the age of 89.

If by Rudyard Kipling

 Today we did a poem by Rudyard Kipling and he had a good poem this was his poem.

The connection I found in the poem was what would happen if I trusted myself.

The poem was organized by having 4 stanzas and 32 sentences.

The tone of the poem was, In the first stanza it had AAAABCBC the second one was ABABCDCD the third one was ABABCDCD and the last one was ABABCDCD.

The poetic device I have listed and found was:

 Hyperbole: If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster you cannot meet with a disaster, the other one said “Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;” you can’t fix your life with worn-out tools and the last one where it says” Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,” you cannot earn earth.

Personification: It said “If you can force your heart” you can’t force your heart so it is a personification.

Metaphor: It said “If you can keep your head when all about you” it didn’t have like or as and it compared two, unlike things.

Alliteration: The poem said “all about” it had the same first letter in the word.

The poet wanted me and you guys to think about the poem and it was: Trusting himself than others and never give up even if people doubt you.

Food For Thought

Food For Thought

Today I'm recounting all the way to Wednesday because Sophie from the Heart Foundation came to school to teach us about Everyday Food and Sometimes food she gave us some sheets of paper. In the paper, we have to choose food that is under 10g of fat as well as sugar, on dietary fiber we are supposed to look at foods that are under 400mg and the last one is Sodium(salt) we have to find a food that is above 5g. I finished the other side, but on the other one there is another activity but we don't have to finish it. The activity was fruit and vegetables that have the color of green, red, purple(blue), and white. I finished the other side but the color of fruit or vegetables is different because I spent all my learning time finishing every day and Sometimes Foods.

Sympathy by Paul L.D

 Today we are going to learn about Sympathy the poem!

Let's start.

The connection I made to the poem was I was being kind to my classmates. The poem was organized by having 3 stanzas with a total of 21 paragraphs. The tone of the poem in the first stanza was ABAABCC. The second stanza was ABAABAA and the last one was ABAABCC. I found some poetic devices in the poem and I'll show you why it has those devices.

Personification: Where it says "I know why a caged bird sings" A bird can't sing that's true, "Cruel bars" bars can't be cruel they don't have feelings and "wind stirs soft" a wind can't stir softly.

Simile: There it says " And the river flows like a glass" it has the like that compared two things.

Alliteration: Where it says "through the" it is Alliteration.

The meaning of the poem was how it feels being trapped and also the poet wants us to think about how it would be like as a life of a caged bird.

Ernest G moll: Returned Soldier

 Today we are going to learn about "Returned Soldier" by Ernest G Moll.

 The connection I made to the title were he might have gone back to his home or place from a war. The poem was organized by having two stanzas. The tone of the poem was sad but he got out by going in a positive way. The poetic devices I found the poem were: Alliteration: In the poem where it says "all and"it has double a's in the first letter the same as this one: "then the". Hyperbole: Where it says " How wheat turns to gold and copper in old November. Wheat can't turn copper and gold. Simile: it told that "And five years later, one November day, I walked with barry down the stooks of hay Light yellow in the sun, and on them fluttered Rosella's red as apples. Where it said "Rosella's red as apples" it had "as" which is a simile. The author of the poem wanted me to think about the poem on how he escaped by thinking a positive way without having to hesitate. I hope this poem helped. Bye, see you in the next post!

The road not taken

 Today we are going to learn about the road not taken.

Before we start I'll just put the picture in.

The connections I made to the title is: No one ever goes to the road. It's like invisible.

How was the poem organized? Stanzas, lines other? It has stanzas with four paragraphs.

What is the tone of the poem? It makes me sad for people not to go to it.

What were the poetic devices I found in the poem? 

Metaphor: I saw that there were some as which it was a simile but it didn't compare two things so it's a metaphor.

 Personification: On the "To where it bent in the undergrowth" it's saying the road bent but roads cannot bent so it's a personification.

Alliteration: Because in the pom it says "ages and ages" so there is one.

What is the meaning of this poem? What does the poet want the reader to think about? What will happen if we chose a different choice.

I hope you learned things about this post. Bye

Do I like making poems? Why or Why not?

I like making poems because when you use an acrostic poem you describe the word about it or the people's personalities. Some books rhyme but it doesn't have to be.

Inquiry and Arts Reflections

Art: I thought our Tapa Art unit was interesting because… We can make our own tapa designs with our own styles.

If I rate myself out of 10 for how well I participated in our art unit, I would give myself a… 9.50/10.

In our Tapa Art unit, I learned:

1) That they don't use cotton to make tapa they use mulberry trees to make clothes.

2) There are other tapa designs that don't exist anymore.

3) When you smash it with a tapa bat(not the animal) it gets longer than usual.

Inquiry: I thought our Social Science unit about inventions throughout time was interesting because…

I get to learn what was in the past and see cool things.

If I rate myself out of 10 for how well I participated in our Inquiry unit, I would give myself a…5.99/10.

In our innovations unit, I learned:

1) That the first car was built when the victorian times ended.

2) That kids work even at such a young age.

3) Only the rich kids go to school.
