Immersion Assembly.

Immersion Assembly wowed me again. This term we are learning about the Glasgow which is the Commonwealth Games. We watched the teams movies, which was presented to the whole school, I personally think that Team 5 and 4's was the best they did great jobs making their movies. At school we have two new teachers added to our Pt England Family, Ms Mckinnly Hage and Ms Ashe.

The Commonwealth Games, has more that 71 countries participating in this event. People from all over the world come face to face with people from everywhere.  The First Commonwealth Games was held in Hamilton, Canada  in 1930, and was only held in New Zealand 3 times 1950, 1974 and 1990.

Even thou Mr and Mrs Burt wasn't here to open up Term 3 it was still fun. I have to say, I think that term will go as expected.

Explanation.

Homemade drums, can be played anyhow. The drums, are just like guitars it has an hollow hole down the middle. Did you know when you cover the container with the balloon, it still can make an vibration how you say? Well the vibration is made when you hit the drum sticks against the drums, when you hit the top of the drum it vibrates, and that’s what pushes the sound wave’s to bounce around.

The homemade drums, can make different sounds. The bigger the container the lower the pitch is, the smaller the container is the higher the pitch is. Homemade drums can be made out of anything, it can be made out of plastic bags, as well as balloons.
