Busy week

This week has been a very busy week. Our school has had some big events such as the Athletics day, swimming sports, school triathlon. We can never get a rest. I Athletics day I was a 11year old A runner and in my races I did very well. On swimming sports I did 4 events and I got 2nd in freestyle,2nd in backstroke and also entered in the Whanau relay for Haua Piko. In the school triathlon is was another test but I managed to get 6th.

Book of the week

This weeks book of the week goes to: Authur and the invisibles

Here a blurb of the story:

Ten-year-old Arthur must find a way to keep the home of his beloved grandmother from being destroyed by a developer with other plans. Remembering his grandfather's story of a treasure, he enters the world of tiny beings who live in perfect harmony with nature. Together with Princess Selenia and her young brother, Betameche, Arthur goes in search of the treasure and -- along the way -- discovers that his long-absent grandfather may not be missing after all. 

This is truly a funny book and I would love all of you to try it. 4/5 stars.

A new beginning

Slamming the door behind me as wind blows my facials to a blur. A skip in my step as I keep wondering Its going to be new beginnings, new opportunities and the best of all a new year. Soon the clock will strike a new year. 2015.

Anticipation was in the air as every breath taken was a gasp of excitement. A life breaking situation was about to commence. As my watch clicked over to 11.59pm my heart skipped a beat. In less than 60 seconds everything was going to change. Pausing staring at the time every second made my body tingle with excitement. The new year was looming with little time to go 15 seconds to go.

Now transfixed on the watch, not wanting to miss a second. 10 seconds to go. Everything began silent as 2014 was the past and 2015 would become the reality. 5 seconds to go. The countdown had begun. Holding my breath in my chest as the clock struck 5.....4.....3.....2......1........

The celebrations began as I cheered with joy. It was now 2015. Everything in 2014 was now in the past. I was apart of a fresh dawn that had just begun. The moment marked my heart and I will always remember this special second and will treasure the moment forever.

Walking back into the house with a skip in my step once more, I was now apart of the new beginning!

Hope everyone had a new year!!!

Yay! it is our school concert tomorrow and I can't wait. My class room has the decade of 1970 so we are doing many famous names that you might of heard as such as: Forest Gump, The 6 million dollar man, Bruce Lee and much much more. It is a play I am going to never forget. On Monday was prize giving and I excelled! I managed to achieve merit in reading, merit in writing and got to receive a very special cup called the Bloor Cup. It is given to people for using digital creativity. Lexi and I won it for our MOA award animation that sadly just missed out on the supreme award so it has been a very successful week and has been one of the best weeks I have had in a long time.

My Summer Poem

About the Piano

Here is a information report on about the piano:

About the piano

Have you ever heard of a piano? If you have I am sure that you know a lot about them. If you dont I will show you

In 1700 the first piano was created by bartolomeo cristofori. It had 52 white keys and 36 black. All together there was 88 keys. The lowest keys play the low and bold sounds, but as you get higher on the scale it gets a higher pitch and is more quieter. The range of the score changes for every key you play, they are all unique. There are also octaves where there is 8 keys in either bass stave and treble clef.

The piano has evolved over the years and has got more technical. Now you can have a lot of different pianos such as electric pianos, acoustic pianos and classical pianos. The smallest piano is 37-58 and and the biggest piano is 60-58. Not just one piano is created now there is millions of different brands who create different pianos. The sounds all depend on the thickness and the height of the strings inside the piano.

 

You can choose what kind of piano you want but what you don’t know is that and electric and a classical piano is totally different. If you want a keyboard it is only a versatile option, if you have a classical piano you can save power and you can play more traditional songs and also a classical piano has more keys. If you want to have a keyboard it might not be a smart idea.

That is all about pianos. Hope this helped you.
