On Wednesday we got to make our own pan pipes, we need 8 straws to make it. Mrs Buchanan was making it in her classroom.

First we watched the video where Mrs Buchanan showed us how to make the pan pipe.


We used 8 straws, cardboard, scissors and tape.

I didn't enjoy because I was not here I think that when the other people was making it they enjoy the pan pipe.

Immersion Assembly Writing Plan


Today is the first day of term 4 and our theme for this term  is musical madness. Team 4 is making their own song, music and instruments. Team 4 only has 9 weeks till the end of the school, and it is going to be hard for us to finish the whole thing’s that we are doing this term we also have a big test to do.

This term the theme is musical madness, the other teams are doing the same but different subject, team 1 teachers was playing snap and listening to different music in the background, team 2 teachers was singing the lion sleeps tonight, team 3 teachers was doing songs in real life, team 5 teachers was watching the lion king eating popcorn and sitting on the couch.

Team 4 topic is listening to music and making their own song, team 4 movie was about listening to songs in the car. Team 4 teachers was listening to different music in mr goodwin's car when they got to school they park the car next to Mr J’s van when mr J heard the music he was laughing at the end Mr J was listening to music, and his neck was shaking.

I didn't really know what the theme was going to be but then when we got to assembly and saw on the screen it said musical madness, I thought we were going to learn music and make our own instrument and even our own songs.

I think it is going to be fun to make our own instruments and music. I can’t wait to make my own interments will don't even know what kind of interments.
