Activity 1: New Zealand Royalty

Today we created a Profile Poster about Lorde who is famous for her music. Something that I found interesting was that she was friends with Taylor swift We got into partners. I was with Kourabeau from Room five. Lorde created around fourteen songs she made a song in 2013 and she was only 16 when she made a song called Royals.

Rhythm Interactive's visit to PBS

This week the whole of PBS went to the hall to learn about the importance of making a change with our special guest Johnny. When we got into the hall we up to buddy up with one of students in Rm 1 and 6 to help them so they can understand what to do because they are the little kids in the school. Our instructor Johnny talked to us about making a change together as a team. Johnny had a phrase called if you can say it you can play it it means to speak something and copy but on a drum. We had to listen and follow a beat, Pattern or a Rhythm. Johnny had a African drum called a Djembe and we had a little version of the Djembe. I really Enjoyed this activity because I got to help the younger students and to copy a beat on a drum, And it was also funny. johnny has a video about saving the Jungle. At the end Johnny was giving out drums for the school if they get the answer right to see if we can guess what the instrument.
