Counting the beat ~ Make your own intruments

                                          Today in counting the beat we decided to make our own

creative instruments. I made a pianika. Basically a piano and a guitar mixed together. I started working with the guitar and i got an idea to put a piano on the side. I will insert a picture. On My instrument u can see piano keys on the side of the guitar. and you can see the big sound hole and squared on the strings. My instrument belong to the string and piano family cause its a mix. And my Pianika is made out of wood and plastic. you set it down while your sitting then u play it. It plays a like tuned sound. The intrument would be used for a orchestra.

Last Thursday was Athletics day and we had to wear Yellow cause I'm in Mohua, what i wore was a yellow tutu, white shirt with Yellow hand prints,

Yellow bows, and Yellow Face paint. I done Social cause I don't really like doing competitive things, So what we done was 60 metres, Shot put, Discus, and Long jump. First we done 60 Meters and I came 4th.

Then we done shot put and we had to go sit in a line when they called out our names, Then we go 1 by 1.

after that we had to sit down and wait for the others to finish. After all that we went to have a break time for 20 minutes I'm pretty sure. After our break we went to Discus and we had to line up in our year group and go 1 at a time like shot put. Then we had to sit under the trees and wait for others. We walked all the way to long jump which was at the back of the field. We had to go by our year group as well again. Then we had to go watch relays and Riroriro won.
