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?

The most important thing to do is trying to read the beat and the rhythm.If you stop and wait for a couple of beats and then join in you'll
probably get back into the rhythm.

Which song do you think would be good to play the bucket drums to and why?

I think shotgun would be a good song because it has a good past bpm and its got various drums.

What could you do to improve your bucket drumming in the future?
I think to get better at drumming is just to practice and experiment.

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 after a few seconds of hearing nothing I could make out the noise of timothy dunking our light source in clear liquid.

For more than a week, I knew he had been labouring over nails to turn them into fish hooks.

I think that means for over 8 days, I had a feeling that Timothy was bending some form of metal into sharp hooks and putting them on ''fishing rods''.

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 - N/A   

Cay - A small island like land that is usually 1 metre long and is filled with tree's and recourse's.

Jumbi - A well known name for jumbi is voodoo or "bad luck". If you have one of these words it usually means things aren't going in your favour.

Langosta - A crayfish or lobster like creature that is usually found on the side of sea plants.

Malaria - A disease that causes you to hallucinate and be cold and hot at one instant this is caused by mosquito's sucking on your blood and dropping some disease in it.

Write down at least three things Phillip learnt whilst on the cay (for example, about himself, caring for others and life etc)
Phillip learned how to survive in various conditions,he also learn to never judge someone because of their skin colour or how they speak or think and he learned that you can't be fussy if you want to survive.

Athletics Review Term 4 2018

Athletics  Reflection

1. How did your athletics practices go? (At least 3 events)

I did well with high jump because I had great technique and jumped pretty high. I did pretty good with long jump because I jumped off 1 foot landed on two done the C shape and... jumped 4/5 of the pit. With sprints I done better than I expected I came 2nd and 3rd equal in the practice races.

2.  In what event did you most improve your technique? How?

The event that I improved in the most was probably sprints because I used to always place fourth or below but, I've really improved with 80 meters and 100 meters sprints. Sadly I didn't run the 1000 meter sprints.

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

I showed Connect by cheering on people (eg) Boston, Troy, and Thomas at the Year 6 high jump.I also cheered on Troy in the relay race and the 80 meters and the 100 meter sprint.

4. Who else did you notice showing one of our school values (they could be from another class or syndicate)? How? I noticed troy because he showed Reflect by really improving in his sprints by getting into zones and the relay event.Compared to last year, this is raising the bar.
