Term 2 Week 5

This week we got a new TV in our class. We are getting rid of our whiteboard because we will just use the TV. Cheng-Yu and I made a little whiteboard with a white covering. The whiteboard is for the date and activity's we will do for the day. We had a small piece of polystyrene, and some book covering like sheet of white. We had to carefully stick it on straight. Our first attempt was quite terrible with lots of air bubbles and marks showing up. We decided to have another go on the other side, and that was quite good. It was straight and didn't have many if any air bubbles. I learnt that you should never give up and keep trying - even if it will take long time.
In music I learnt how to make a twelve-bar blues song on the I pad-minis with backing track music. We made them on Garage Band ( a music app ), and I was in a group with Ben and Cheng-Yu. We had to write a blues song and then record it with the music in the background, and then share it with the rest of us. Our blues was called ' The Tripping Over Blues.' It was quite original and got a few laughs when we were presenting it to the others. The other blues were quite good and had some great instruments in the background. Our feedback was that it was quite entertaining, but we probably could have chosen some different instruments. We had a bit to work on but we did quite well for a first try. I learnt how to use backing instruments and record my voice on Garage Band.
