Music - E-portfolio Sample - Term 4 2018

This term we have been learning how to play some new rhythms on our bucket drums.

We learnt to play the down beat where we play on each beat, it looks like this:

Then we learnt to play the front beat where we only play on beats 1 and 3, it looks like this:

We also learnt to play the back beat where we only play on beats 2 and 4, it looks like this:
After we had practiced the beats we learnt to play along with some songs.

What do you think is the most important thing to do so that you stay in time when you are playing on the
bucket drums? Something important you need to do to stay in time is to count the beats in your head. Another important thing to do is to work out the rhythm in the song.

Which song do you think would be good to play the bucket drums to and why? I think the song Happier is good to do the bucket drums with because it has a good beat to it.

What could you do to improve your bucket drumming in the future? In the future I need to work on figuring out the rhythm to the song to stay in time.

Writing, E-portfolio Sample, Term 4 2018

Writing, E-portfolio Sample - Reviews

  • Why is it important to plan before you write? It is important to plan before you write because you don't have to think
that much because all the ideas are already written down. Also it is really good to plan because you might forget an
idea so you can just look at the plan and the idea you forgot would be there.


 


  • What is the purpose of a topic sentence? The purpose of a topic sentence is so the reader has an idea of what you are
going to write about. Also it is to draw the reader in so they read the whole piece of writing.



  • What is your favourite part of your review?Why? My favourite part of  the review was probably the start because it has a lot of detail and it hooks the reader in. Another reason why I like the start is because it is a compound sentence which is one of the sentences we are working on.


  • What are at least three things a review can have?
1. Background information like where they are from etc
2. What event the athlete did and what place they came
3. What the athlete felt

Reading - The Cay, E-portfolio Sample - Comprehension, Term 4 2018

Reading -The Cay, E-portfolio Sample - Comprehension

Write an “ITTM” for the following sentences:

After a moment of silence, I heard the sizzle of the water as Timothy doused the torch.
I think that means that after a minute of no talking, Philip could hear a crackling sound from the H2O and at the same time Timothy put out the fire.

For more than a week, I knew he had been labouring over nails to turn them into fish hooks.
I think that means that for over 7 days Philip knew that Timothy was converting metal screws into sharp curved tools used to catch sea creatures.

Roadblocks! There were many roadblocks for us in this book! Choose at least two of the following words to explain and ‘clear the roadblock’ for.
Alabaster -   
Cay - A low bank or reef of coral, rock, or sand.
Jumbi -
Langosta - A sea creature that is like a spiky Crayfish or Lobster.
Malaria - A type of disease that gets into your red blood cells and is normally transmitted by Mosquitos.


Write down at least three things Phillip learnt whilst on the cay (for example, about himself, caring for others and life etc)
1. A lesson Philip learnt was to make the most of what you have because it may not always be there.
2. The second lesson Philip learnt was how to survive in the wild with nothing but clothes.
3. The final lesson Philip learnt was how to adapt without his eyesight, instead he used his sense of touch and hearing.

Athletics Reflection

Athletics  Reflection


1. How did your athletics practices go? (At least 3 events)
For discus I did well because I didn't hold on to it and all the throws at practice counted. When we practiced high jump, I think I did well because I did the scissor jump. The third event we did was shot put, I think I did good because I didn't just use my arms, I used my legs as well.

2.  In what event did you most improve your technique? How?
Shot put was probably the event that I improved the most on because I used my legs as well as my arms, but I also improved a lot on high Jump by being more springy and more positive.

3. What value did you show on Friday at Athletics most? How?
I showed Brave because although I'm not that good at sprints, long jump and High jump, I still kept trying and
trying.

4. Who else did you notice showing one of our school values (they could be from another class or syndicate)? How?
Ethan showed Respect because when he won his events, he didn't give people a hard time. Instead he cheered on
other people even if they failed.
