Ukulele

Kia Ora readers today I will be talking about what we had been doing on hurumanu 2 which is counting the beat, and the purpose of this blog is to show what I had been doing on hurumanu 2 which is counting the beat. Hurumanu 2 is about music like learning the generation of it, genres, and learning how to play the instruments like Guitar,Ukulele and more.

For the last few days we had been learning on playing the Ukulele by using YouTube tutorials and some tips from my friends that knew how to play it. The first thing that we did in this hurumanu was to discuss about what we already know about the Ukulele such as the parts of it and types, after that Mrs. Allan brought us some Ukulele's for us to use. But I wasn't there to play it because I was at ESOL.

Here is a photo of the parts of the Ukulele. 

Here is also some types of the Ukulele

 On this hurumanu I have learned the parts of the Ukulele and learned how to play some songs using YouTube I hope that you enjoyed reading my blog post. Make sure you drop a comment about what you think about this blog. 

Stomp

 Kia Ora Readers!

Welcome back to my blog today I will be talking about what we had been doing for the past few weeks which is making our own music using auto tuned instruments or non auto tuned instruction, most people used sticks, can, and more stuff's, apparently I wasn't able to do it because I wasn't there when the day they did it. We also did some researches about the music through the decades and here is one of the one that I made.

In 1900's the music that were famous at that time was jazz, blue’s,folk, country and gospel, and most of the songs has dance steps on it.

One of the songs that were popular at 1900's was “Tell me Pretty Maiden” the artist of the songs was Leslie Stuart and was originally made at 1899, this songs was also played by the floradora. Floradora are basically an Edwardian musical comedy, the floradora became one of the first successful Broadway musicals on the 20th century, Floradora had successfully performed 455 times. 

There was also a lot of famous bands at 1900's, and one of them was “ The Beatles” this band was an English rock band that became the most successful act at the 20th century, this band came up with their music, film,literature, art and fashion that made them more popular. The people who were at that band was Lenon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo star. 

Football/Soccer

 Kia Ora Readers

Welcome back to my blog, Today I will be talking about what we have been doing for the past two weeks which is Football/Soccer. For the past two weeks we had been learning some rules and tricks to do in football. For the past two weeks we had been learning a lot of tricks to do and one of them is the dribbling, which you have to hit the ball with the side of your foot. We also learned how to stop the ball by using the inside of your feet or the front, and we also did passing which we have basically just have to kick the ball to another person.  

Drills

• Passing 
• Shooting 
• Dribbling 
• Juggling 
• Changing the directions
• Stooping the ball  

One of the main rules that we have to follow on Football/Soccer was not to touch the ball with your hand except if your the Goa-lee. Each team must have a minimum of 11 players. 

P.E

 Kia Ora Readers 

Welcome back to my blog today here in P.E we were doing some stuff around netball, we also did some drills,fitness and games, here are somethings that we played: piggy in the middle to practice our toss by tossing the ball to the other person, bounce pass to pass the ball even if someone is blocking you  and chest pass so you can pass the ball directly to the person you are aiming for,and so far im really enjoying it. MY favourite part of netball is probably when we play a round of netball game, that's my favourite part because it makes my defending better. 

Here are some of the main rules that we had to follow.

• No stepping with the ball
• No dribbling 
• No short pass 
•  Stand a meter away from the person you are blocking.
• No jumping with the ball.
• When someone shoots on the ball, the ball must got back to the center.

This are the positions that we had on Netball.

• GA= Goal attack, this person is allowed on the circle but not on the other teams circle. 
• GD= Goal defence, this person defends the goal attack and allowed where Goal attack is.
• WA= Wing attack, this person is not allowed on the circle, but allowed on the outside of the circle.
• WD= Wing defence, this person is basically the same as the Wing attack but only defends.
• GS= Goal Shoot, this person is basically allowed on the circle but cannot pass the yellow line.
• GK= This person cannot shoot, this person mainly do is defend the Goal shoot from shooting on the goal.
• C=Center, this person stands in the middle where the circle is in, this person basically gets the ball first from the rest because he is the one who gives the ball to the people on their team.

For P.E we had approximately had 3 games, and has two weeks to play it, and each week we had two lessons of it. My favourite positions are Center and Goal keep After netball we were gonna go start playing football/soccer.
