Activity 3: Big Friendly Giants

This week is the Manaiakalani SLJ Teaser Week. The theme for this year is called "change makers". This theme will help us learn more about incredible people who have changed the world. Today I listend to Daivd Walliams, a famous British actor, who was reading a short from the BFG. In the clip he was talking about a young girl named Sophie, who knew one of the BFG's favourite hobbies. After lsitening to the clip, our challenge was to write a character description of what we thought the BFG looked like in at least 10 describible words. However, since this is the " Teaser week" no points are given out for any of these activities. The programme runs over for six weeks (starts 16 December and finished Friday 24 January 2020).

Rhythm Interactive's visit to PBS

This morning LS2 received a special visit from Johnny, who is a member of the Rhythm Interactive. Each student was lucky enough to use a drum each. The message today was '' Together we can make a change". These drums are African drums. It's name has a very interesting sound to it called Djemebe's. As he was drumming, everyone spoke and copied what he did -  '' If you can say you can drum it''. I enjoyed participating in this drumming session, because I got the opportunity to be taught a variety of different beats that you can do using a Djembe. Today I found out that Djembe in English means '' brings joy''.  A big thank you to Johnny for taking his time up to teach us a heap of different skills, as we all enjoyed the visit.
