Making connections across texts

Walt: make connections between texts.
Description: For this task we had to summarise the two books we read about and we had to write down the main ideas in the story. Also we had to write down the main ideas about the video that was on our reading page. !!HOPE YOU ENJOY!! 

Text 1:
The right beat
Summarise the main ideas of this text.
They were trying to make a beat that suited the words from the song using the instruments and using tunes. They had to find out the tunes really fast because they were going to perform the song in a few minutes. So they kind of finished by changing the words a little bit.


Text 2:
The GHB
Summarise the main ideas of this text.
In the GHB story there was this boy called Nick he had loved the the pipe bags from the Scottish bands he had played when the rugby games started. Also he had to wait till he was nine too learn how to play the pipe bags.


Video:
Introduction to an orchestra
What is the main event in this visual text?
George was learning more information about the woodwind family, strings family, brass family and the percussion family. He was trying to find out what instrument he wants to play he did find out but it wasn’t a instrument he wanted to be a conductor. He wanted to conduct the instrument band.

Immersion Assembly Musical Madness


WALT: using exciting language in a recount
Walt: write a recount about a personal experience. Walt: use exciting language to share our ideas.

Chit, Chat, Chit, Chat as me and my friends keep chatting about what we did in the holidays she was talking while I was listening. Next we were waiting in line for our teacher to take us to assembly. As Miss West took us to assembly in the hall we kept walking and talking then my friend didn’t get to finish because we sat down on the floor in the hall. As everyone sat down Mr Burt (Principal) welcomed us in a nice and awesome greeting back to school. Next he and Mr Wiseman (Electric Guitar), Mr Somerville (Drums) and Mrs Nua (Tambourine) played their song called Musical Madness.
Next was Team 1 the junior teachers had shown what the juniors are going to be doing this term. Team 1 was showing how music can make you feel and have emotion and what it makes you do like cleaning, dancing and singing. After their one Team 2 was next to show their one that Team 2 was learning. Team 2’s one was about singing together and making more music together so they got tiny instruments to play to the song In The Jungle. Later on it was Team 3’s turn they didn’t get up on stage because their one was a video they made and it was about them and music they used songs that was their favourite songs and lip synced them and putting them in.
Next was Team 4, Team 4’s teachers were in a car and was playing all kinds of music. They were driving all the way to school playing music so loud then when they got to school Mr J was in his van and stared while playing his cool music and Team 4 teachers just stared in a funny way. Last but not least it was Team 5, Team 5’s teachers were acting as a family and watched a movie called the !!!!LION KING!!!!.When they played the movie it was only a little bit of the movie and they played a few times but played it with all kinds of different background musics like scary, happy, weird and also !!!!LET IT GO!!!! But then Mrs Telea said “don’t let the baby go” it was so funny.
Part of music I want to learn is how to play an instrument like drums and a ukelele. I wanna learn how to play these because the drums make sounds  like this BOOM BOOM BOOM it sounds so cool I also want to learn how to play when I am so mad at my brothers. I also would like to play a ukelele because it sounds really peaceful to play when your happy. These are instruments I want to play because just like my sisters they know how to play  a ukulele too.
I really like the theme for this term because we can make beats and songs. The other reason I like it is because we got to choose which lalabye we can use for our animations for the juniors to use for their learning about music. I really like that it is called Musical Madness and it is so fantastic that we get to make music and use beats as well.

!!Thank You For Reading!!
