Information Report- Orchestra

Orchestra

A conductor helps people play instruments in an orchestra. An orchestra can get really loud when they play the instruments. The orchestra is split into groups strings, brass, woodwind and percussion.

One of the orchestra families is the string instruments. The string instruments are played by plucking or rubbing the strings. My favourite instruments are the double bass and the harp. 

Another family of instruments is called the percussion. You use your hands or sticks to hit percussion instruments, like a kettle  drums. Percussion instruments can be played really loud.

The flute is a part of the woodwind family. Woodwind instruments were made of wood but now they are made of metal.

Lastly, there is the brass family . The brass instruments are all made of metal. A brass instrument is a trombone.  A Trombone is a long brass instrument that can be played loud.

When these musical families are played together they make wonderful sounds.

The Accident - Writing

This is writing activity helps the student to sequence their writing. The comic strip is used as a motivation to write a story. This is Nicole's interpretation.

One Sunny day it was nearly my friend's birthday. I was shopping in the city. It was fun in the mail.

 After I went  to the mail I saw an old man . He was holding a wooden stick. He was about to cross a busy road.

The old man stepped onto the road in front speeding cards.

Suddenly the old man was on the dangerous road . A car was coming . The driver pressed on the brakes. The car diver was scared that he would run the old man over.
