Music: Shared Writing

We are listening to music...
We have been learning about sound as part of our Inquiry... Today we listened to a range of different types of music.

This is a piece of shared writing by Nic's literacy group:

Music


Music reminds me of
Shooting stars in the night sky
A golden violin on a summer’s night
The moon singing in the dark sky
The funky DJ mixing disco sounds
A 90’s movie with a car chase


Music reminds me of
A giant tornado speeding through town
People running along like a herd of elephants
A volcano erupting with hot lava
Owls hooting through the night
The opening of a Brazilian carnival
Cannon bolts falling to the ground


Music makes me feel
Surprised like bangs of fireworks
Bright like Christmas lights
Excited like a university graduate
Strong like a super hero flying
Sad like a lost battle
Sleepy like I have walked for a thousand days.


Music is spectacular!

Kite Art



After we flew our kites on the beach we created some kite art and wrote poems about our experience...


Did you ever by Edward
Did you ever go kite flying at Worser Bay Beach
People screaming
Kites crash landing
People running
Kites swooping
People tugging
Kites pulling
People shouting
Kites falling
People chatting
Kites flying

We had a great time celebrating Matariki by flying our kites on the beach with our families.


Spanish
