The Sound Activity

On Tuesday I learnt about sound and making sound on an online science lab. What I did was try to match the pitch. I made the sound waves big and small. The small sound waves make a high pitch and the big sound waves make a lower pitch. Sometimes in the activity the pitch makes and high note or a low note. How I did the activity is I moved the arrow to a line and checked what sound it made by pressing the hand. When I thought that it was the right pitch I pressed the check button.

My Holiday Event

YMCA Shakespeare Camp

On Sunday the 27th of April my uncle , my sister and I  hopped on the bus at the War memorial park saying our last bye to our grandparents before we leave. Afterwards when we got in the bus we waited for the bus to leave. Just before the bus driver start the bus, I saw my uncle put his headphones on and start his music ready for the long ride. When everyone was ready the bus driver started the bus and and left. On the long ride to North shore to pick up some more people for the camp and then got to Whangaparaoa Peninsula Army Bay, Shakespear Regional Park where the camp is.

When we got to the camp we got our bags and went inside their hall ( Reck hall ) and sit down. When we sat down we were put into our separate cabins with different people my sisters cabin was cabin 2, my uncle's cabin was cabin 9 and my cabin was cabin 10. My sister was in the junior groups and

On the first day we had been put into groups yellow, red and green I was in yellow and my uncle was in green when we got put in our groups we went on the courts that gave us enough time to make new friends the first day I made one friend and then at night I ended up friends with everyone in my cabin. While we were on the courts our instructors called out to have afternoon tea  the afternoon tea was a drink with a biscuit. After we had our afternoon tea we had played a little more and then our instructors made all the seniors go to our meeting places to know what are our new activities are then the seniors followed an instructor and his name is Owen we followed him through the bush and then a few minutes later he said he was lost then another instructor came and told him where to go then he showed us the way through the bushes to the grass on the beach.

When we got to the beach we sat down in a circle and went  around the circle saying our names and what we like to do. After we learned everyones name we played a game when we all hide before 25 seconds and the seeker stays in on spot and try to see if the they can find anyone and if they do they have to describe what colours and kind of clothes they are wearing. The seekers can turn around looking for other people and if you get caught you have to go next to the seeker and sit down the seeker is not allowed to move and the the seeker will start counting down from 20 and we will have to run down and hive five thier hand and run and hide again then the seeker will count down lower and lower until there are no hiders left.

Badminton Session

Badminton

Today my class were told that we were doing a badminton session today at 9 we all were so excited. Before we went out to go do our session we did some work then at 9 our teacher said pack up your work and line up outside.We lined up outside and our teacher took us to the hall to our badminton instructor Robbie.

When we went inside the hall we sat down in two straight lines. Before we started our lesson Robbie wanted our class to warm up so he told us that we are going to play a game of stuck in the mud for a warm up. After we played our warm up game he told us to sit down and he will tell us the basic rules about badminton. One of the rules were no hitting people with the racket. Two is no using the rackets as a sword. After we learnt the rules Robbie handed out everyone a racket each. When we got our racket he showed us the two basic ways of holding the racket one name is backhand and the other is forehand when we learnt how to hold our racket he gave us a shuttle each and then we all practised hitting the shuttle with both ways holding the rack as long as we can.

After we had our try hitting the shuttle we got in pairs and practised hitting the shuttle to each other. Then the whole class had a competition in our pairs hitting the shuttle to each other my pair lost and a pair of two girls won then we played another round a pair of boys won that round. After that [round we packed up our rackets and shuttles and headed to class.
