Term 2 Week 3

This week was actually quite cool. We had pupils from Matamata School and Cambridge Intermediate come and perform with our schools symphonic band. On Monday we had a magician come and show us a few tricks. That was really cool. We also had our volleyball session where we learnt how to place yourself and different skills as well. We learnt how to set the ball [volley] and a few exercises on how to improve our skills. Th video said that all your power comes from your legs and you push the ball with your fingertips. We also learnt how to bump the back to one another. You put one hand on top of the other and you want the ball to hit your fore arms and not your wrist. They said that you have more control over the ball. On Tuesday we had Tech Arts and we did food. It was so much fun. We planned out our lesson and started cooking Crispy cheesy corn rolls and crispy dip sticks. Surprising, they were very nice. On Wednesday I learnt how to find the unknown on both sides but still didn't get it. Instead I just helped my friend [Caitlyn] another way on how back track. The way I do it is say you got

3D+8=23

You would do inverse operations. So basically the opposite.
23-8=15

This how you would write
   3D = 15       (-8)
You would put take away 8 in brackets on one side.
Then you would do what it equals
Then you put whats left.

     D=5      (divide by 3)

That's what I do and taught Caitlyn
 After Morning tea we went to the ALC to see what we needed to do for band. Junior band was in the hall and senior band was in the ALC. The drum line was in the music room and the choir was in the dance and drama studio. In the afternoon I decided to move myself into Senior Band because the music was very easy in Junior band. I picked up on the music very easily.

We had an afternoon practice and we had dinner in the hall. Then we practiced with choir for the combined pieces. On Thursday the Junior went back down into the hall. We practiced the whole day. We did a school performance to the school in the afternoon block. Around 7:00pm we a show for all parents to see. It was really fun. My favourite thing was the drum line. On Friday we had Tech Arts. We made Foccacia bread and I was so amazing I got a signature. In the afternoon we did a skills session with our AIMS Netball selector. He taught us about stable positions and all of the different types of passes. It was really fun and I made it.
