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? I think you need to listen to the beat and play along

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

What could you do to improve your bucket drumming in the future?
I need to play to the beat and work out the time between each drum.

    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 um there had been a second of no noise before Philip listened to the second main protagonist put out the fire on a stick in the water with a BBQ like noise.


    For more than a week, I knew he had been labouring over nails to turn them into fish hooks.
    I think that means for longer than seven days Philip knew that timothy had been turning sharp spikes into hooks to catch fish.


    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 -  a type of mineral.
    Cay - small island in the middle of the ocean.
    Jumbi - A bringer of bad luck.
    Langosta - a type of lobster.
    Malaria - a fever .


    Write down at least three things Phillip learnt whilst on the cay (for example, about himself, caring for others and life etc)
    Philip learnt how to fish.He also learnt how to use his other senses more independently and that skin colour doesn't matter.


    Athletics Reflection Term 4

    Athletics  Reflection


    1. How did your athletics practices go? (At least 3 events)
    I went well in the 50 meter sprints by making 3rd place and qualifying for zones.
    The event high jump was ok for me by missing 1m 5 but making 1 meter.
    Discus was bad for me because I did not know how to hold the discus.


    2.  In what event did you most improve your technique? How?
    Sprints were what I improved in the most by not wobbling and keeping my feet low.
    Looking straight instead of side to side was key to running fast.


    3. What value did you show on Friday at Athletics most? How?


    Connect was what I showed by supporting Jack B even though I was out.
    I also told Sam that he did well when he got out by slipping in high jump.


    4. Who else did you notice showing one of our school values (they could be from another class or syndicate)?
    How?


    Kasper showed connect by being a good sport no matter if I beat him or he beat me.
    Even though I got to the relays and not him he wasn't sad he just accepted it and cheered me on.
