Students should not were there school uniform.
Students should not were there school uniform, do I agree not why because then it show a reputation on school and it also show that all the children are respecting the school rules. And it also show that the children are wearing the right appropriate clothes and not showing a lot of skin.
Orchestras
Today in class I been working orchestras and today I got a few Questions & Answers about orchestras.
Research About Orchestras
How do the orchestra seat the instruments? So the percussion instruments are at the back of the orchestra then there are the brass instruments in front of the percussion instruments. Then the woodwind instruments in the centre of the orchestra then last but not less than string instruments are at the very front of the orchestra.
What instruments are included? Trumpet, Trombone, French Horn, Bass Flute, Flute, Violin, Viola, Tuba, cello, Piccolo, Oboe, Carinet etc.
Who is the most important member of the orchestra? Conductor/Music Director because without the conductor the people playing in the orchestra won't know what to play and won't know what note to play.
What is the biggest group of instruments? The string instruments, the reason why they have more string instruments is because the string instruments keep the brass & percussion instruments from tring to be louder.
Do we have any orchestras in New Zealand? Yes we do, we have the A.P.O. which stands for Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, C.S.O which stands for Christchurch Symphony Orchestra.
How many people are in an orchestra? One hundred people.
Cats are better than dogs...
Are cats better than dogs do I disagree yes why, because some cats can be a bit spoilt and thinking they can push other people around and sometimes a bit disloyal and do things don't ask do to do, and last when they dont like someone they can do things very dangerous things like stab there teeth in your skin and scratch you really badly and that won't be good.
Are dogs better than cats do I agree yes because dogs can really loyal and when you are bored you can just take the dog for a walk, and the dog is a fantastic gaurd dog but also dogs are very awesome when you can cuddle them and treat them like a brothe or like a sister. Like I said are cats better than dogs do I agree no.
Ice cream is better the cake...
Ice cream is better than cake, do I agree no why, becuase you can make many diffient flavours of cake and icing if you were going to to put icing on the cake, and another reason is becuase when you eat cake you wont get a brain frezze, reason why I also like cake is because cake is less heathy than ice cream whick is better. Another reason I like cake better than ice cream becuase when I bit into the cake and closed my eyes it felt like I was in a dream land. And also it is just the best thing to have cake. Like I said is lce cream better than cake do I agree no.

Traditional Instrument
This week I have been looking at two traditional instruments, the traditional instruments are the conch shell or knowing as pūtātara and the wooden trumpet or knowing as pūkāea. Here is a bit more information about the conch shell and the wooden trumpet.
Traditional Instrument
The Conch shell.
The conch shell was used for many reasons like, using the conch for if there is danger in the area or if danger coming out on sea.The conch shell can also be used for communication. Another way is if you were lost you could use the conch shell. Now the way you use the conch shell is pretty much simple: you use it like a trumpet, the way that you use the trumpet, you have your mouth in a position like if you have no teeth and at the same time make a buzzing sound.
And did you know that the conch shell is really rare to find on land but common in the sea
The Pūkāea Wooden Trumpet
The pūkāea wooden trumpet was really used for the thing that the conch was really used for. If there was danger in the area or danger coming from sea the pūkāea would be handy to use. Lets just say if a big event happened but the villagers don't know anything the leader's right hand man would use the Pūkāea so all the villagers would hear them and come to the whare.
