Body Percussion


In our class we did body percussion. When we did body percussion we only had three group members. Me, Levi and Tom. Body percussion is when you make music or beat with your body. My group was quite good. here is a link to our body percussion sound.

International Women's Day

 To Jacinda Adern, 


8 March 2021 marks International Women's Day. It's a day that celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women whilst also calling for equality  where men and women are treated the same. I think that international women's day is important because our mums and other women do so much for us, like make us dinner, pack our lunch, help us with so much other stuff and even in school the teacher here are always nice to us and give us so much respect and we have to do the same to them.

Camp

 Camp 


Hello readers, welcome back to my blog, today's blog will be about the camp that I went to on Saturday. So on Saturday I went to a all Muslim boys camp. At the camp it was really fun we got to do a lot of activities. We got to go kayaking and we got to go hiking up the hills. When we went hiking the hill was steep, and there were a lot of prickly bushes. One of my friends fell into the bush and got lots of cuts. But he was fine. When we came back down from hiking, we got changed into our swimming clothes. We went kayaking. It was so fun, we went into the ocean. When I was in the kayak I accidentally Steered the wrong way and we crashed into a lot of rocks. The rocks were slippery and they were sharp. I had to get out of the kayak to change places with my partner. When I hopped out of the kayak, The kayak was pushing me towards the big rocks. My left foot got stuck between the rocks, When i got back on the kayak i saw my foot and i told one of my friends they told one of the leaders. When we went onto the beach one of the leaders put a bandage on my foot. After that we went back to the camp and we ate lunch. For lunch we had all sorts of different food. After dinner we played spotlight in the dark. After the spotlight game  we went to bed. I was trying to sleep, but there were some boys that were making lots of noise. My friends Zeyad told us a story. In the morning we had to wake up at 6:00am for our prayer, when we finished our prayer we were allowed to just chill in our cabins at 8:00am we had breakfast, and for breakfast we had cereal. When i was eating my breakfast I saw a little puppy outside. I went to go play with the puppy. It was so cute, it didn't have a collar so I thought it was wild. But it was really friendly. We played fetch with it and it actually played, then after a while the owner came to get it, turned out to be hers. Well that's the end of my blog today. BYE :)
