In the story Jesus is getting ready for the last supper and then he gets down on one knee and washes his friends feet, back then it was a job for a servant and peter was not happy, but Jesus said I am doing this to show that you should serve one another. The positives of the story would be the theme and the negative was that peter was going to stop Jesus from doing a nice thing.

WALT: write a recount
Last Thursday our school bused to the New Zealand symphony Orchestra held at the town hall,
they played the story of Peter and the wolf, it was about a young boy trying to catch a wolf and making
friends with animals on the way. Each animal was represented by a different instrument,
the bird was the flute when the bird was panicking it would play really fast , the duck was the obbo
when the duck was running it would go fast, the cat was the clarinet and when it was sneaking it would go
slow, the hunters were the drums and when they were coming the drums were deep, the wolf was the french
horns I think they were chosen to be the wolf because it sounded scary. The grandfather was the bassoon because it sounds deep and Peter was the strings because it makes a happy sound.
My favourite part of the performance was the flute because it made a
high pitch sound and it was very satisfying to listen too.
If I could play an instrument
out of the Orchestra it would be the strings because I could imagine it would be a nice sound to listen to,
like a calm sound.
When the music was played I felt sleepy because it was very calm and quiet at times,
but when the drums played it woke me up.
WALT: write to recount a memorable experience or moment
On Wednesday we went surfing at New Brighton, I found this trip really fun and memorable but my favourite part had to be when we got in the water and tried surfing. The water was calm but there was a few big waves that made me lose my surf board. We had to walk to the beach and back but it was worth it, I think I would do it again because I really enjoyed it. I didn´t get to stand on the board but I liked just liked floating on it.
Before the surf I was nervous but I know next time that I shouldn´t worry because it would be fun in the end. I don´t think I want to be a surfer in the future but I would do it just as a one off thing. Have you ever surfed before, if not would you?
