Life Education

Last week, we went to life education. We got taught about what happens when you smoke or vape, we learnt what they do to our lungs and what happens when you do drugs. She showed us a clip thingy about these two people who grew up doing that stuff. In the clip it showed us someone that was neglecting his kids because he was never home and he was out doing drugs. It was pretty sad to watch that and I felt bad for his kids. Its also sad because its hard for them to stop doing that. Say no to drugs, they suck.

Surfing

Yesterday, the 17th of March we went surfing. We walked to New Brighton Beach and met the people that taught us to surf there. They told us the rules and how to get on then we got into our math groups and my group was first. They gave us a wet suit and a surf board then we went beside the water and they showed us how we get onto our surf board. Then we went into the water.

It was very hard to stand up, I did not stand but I got onto my knees. I felt pretty bored when I got on my knees because I couldn't get onto my feet it was too hard. Lily and I were trying to surf at the same time but we still failed. Then the other group went surfing and we went to eat morning tea, then we played on the playground for a while. 

I think that it was very fun surfing, have you ever been surfing before?

The Orchestra

 Last Thursday, my school went to the Town Hall, we got to watch the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. There was lots of instruments and we listened to a story. The story was Peter and The Wolf.

All of the characters were played by instruments, the instruments that they played were: the strings, flutes, the oboe, clarinet, french horns, Timpani/drums, and a bassoon.

When they played the instruments I was excited because there was a man dressed in pink, I think that that was the most exciting part.

The instrument that I think made the most interesting sound was probably the oboe. But  I dont really know, I just like the name of the oboe its cool. If I could play one of the instruments it would probably be the oboe.

I felt pretty happy when listening because I was watching the conductor and his cheeks were jiggling. :) Also it was funny because it was just fun to watch him. 

Have you been to an orchestra?
