LS2 was helping the New Entrance (Juniors) that were new to our school and because they didn't experience this before. We were watching Johnny play the drums first then we had to try to copy what he was doing or give the drumming a go. I would like to say thank you to him for coming to Panmure bridge school, and teaching us and showing  us how to use these drums. What i liked learning about when we were playing the drums and leaning different beat's/ pattern/ rhythm. Johnny was play the Djembe Drum and we were playing the other drums. Also I would like to say thank to him for donating 7 drums to our school.

This week for maths we had to make a DLO about maths inference.  I was working with Sela, I thought that i would do a reading DLO about reading and maths inference to see what were different about the reading and maths DLO about Inferencing. I was doing the reading inference DLO,and Sela was doing some of the maths DLO. I liked learning about this because some of it we did not know but then Mrs Anderson showed us what we had to do for maths inference.  I asked Mrs Anderson if i could do a reading one to see what the different where between the reading and maths inference DLOS.

Ballet/ Black Swan & White Swan

Yesterday we were lucky enough to have Chloe, who is a Dance Educator from the Royal New Zealand Ballet, come to our school to teach us the 'Black swan, White swan' dance sequence. This dance was based on the famous ballet of "Swan Lake". We began with a warm up to make sure our muscles were ready for the dance movements. Most of the movements were contemporary ballet moves. I really enjoyed learning the ballet moves with Chloe and learning the dance sequence, it was a lot of fun. I would like to say thank you to Chloe for this opportunity and to Mrs Jones who organized this for us.
