Term 3 Music

The reason I wanted to do music was because I mainly because it seemed more interesting then most of the other subjects to choose from. I did actual want to do music to because it's an opportunity to learn a instrument. My sister use to come to this school and she really enjoyed music.    

I would like to learn to play the piano, when i was in primary school i learnt a little piano but over the years I forgot how. 

I don't play an instrument but I use to play the guitar I wasn't that good with it but I still played until it broke, I also played the keyboard 

I don't have a favourite singer  


5 of my favourite songs are It'll be alright by Dean Lewis, Bruises by Lewis Capaldi, Counting Stars by OneRepublic and Memories by Maroon 5 

  

Sustainability

This is my slideshow about Sustainability that my textiles class has been working on during the past 2 terms. At first we did a class project witch was beeswax wrap witch you can see on this slide show and my previous blog posts.

 After we finished the beeswax warps we had make a brain storm of things we could create to do with sustainability. 

Out of the things on our brainstorms we had to pick one we wanted to do and complete. 

My friend Anneleise and I happened to pick the same thing so we worked together. We both decided to try to make worn down/ old crayons into candles, as shown on the slide it took us 5 attempts, including our final to get it done.

 We worked extremely hard and put a lot of work into this and we are surprised on how it worked considering we have never done it before. It was great to work Anneleise though this I don't think I would have worked this hard if it weren't for her. It was a fun, a little stressful and more.

The first week we did a blog post about games and activity's we could do with the class and some other stuff to do with lock down.

The week after that, me and a few others did Just Dance for the rest of the period.
