Performing Percussion

 Performing as a group or a band means you have to know the sequence and your part.  We all thought this group did a great job using body percussion. I wonder what they will try next time! 

Sound effects using Body percussion

 When you listen to this performance it could easily be the sound effects for a  show or a story. What does it remind you of? What pictures does it create in your mind?  

Body Percussion Band

This group had a really different sequence and we found the patterns they made were very musical.  What other sounds could they have used?  Did they change the rhythm during their performance?

Our Body percussion Band

We had such an interesting time using our bodies to make music!   Each group had to come up with a sequence to perform to the rest of the class. What do you think of this band? 
We rated them very highly!!

JD"s report of the Powhiri

Ms Campbell

It is an important day for Ms Campbell today.Two girls from

Waikowhai  Intermediate School  welcomed in Ms Campbell and her whanau.

Ms Campbell and her whanau  hongied some people from Hay Park and then they  transferred her to Hay Park.Some people had tears in their eyes.When I heard  Karangatia ra  I danced to the

song.I felt so excited!
