Inquiry Song!

Task Description: This term we have been learning to create a song with our favorite genre and taste of music. Everyone got into groups of pairs 3’s or by themself. I was in a group with Nikayla, Khaing Shwe, and myself. Our genre was sort of like a soft smooth beat and lyrics. We started writing our lyrics first which I didn’t really liked because it didn’t really fit well with any of the beats but we found a good one in the end. After writing the lyrics we recorded all of lines one by one and we finished it all in one block of the day. It was hard to record because we weren’t sure about how we could sing the song to match with the beat. After recording we put it all together on a google video and we added a smooth chill beat in the end. Do you know what he is saying in Thai? I had so much fun working on this my favourite part was recording because we got to sing togther. Remember to leave a positive comment on my blog! Tyy and Bye!

Newsroom (Weather/Main)

Today for Extension we started off with working on Garageband for an intro for PENN. I started a new project because I didn’t really liked my others one. This intro is for weather or main. I knew that this one was way much more better then my previous attempts. I worked extra hard on this one by used more instruments and actually listening to what was wrong. I asked for my friend’s feedback and she said it was GOOD!! This intro I made for PENN seems like it could actually be heard in  news channel. I tried making it long enough because at frrst it was too short then I added more to it and it sounded even more better.

What we had to do was go onto GarageBand and create a sound track for the PENN news. We had to make the soundtrack sound like the part it belongs to for eg if it was for sports it would sound sort of dramatic but for weather it would sound more smooth and relaxing. I made mine for weather but it could also be used for main. In order to end up with a peice of music we have to start off with a drummer. Starting with the drummer s the simpelest part. You can turn the drums into soft, loud, and complex. When you have found the perfect beat to start it off next you can use the apple loops on the side of the screen. There are many different options, you can choose the instruments and genre you want to fit in with you beat. Since mine was for weather and main I made my drums soft but complex and I used instruments that sound calming and smooth. The genre I chose was chillwave because it matched perfectly with the theme.

If I had to describe my music to someone who couldn’t listen to it I would probably say all the instruments I’ve used are like a chill wave. It’s a very smooth and calming beat. I used instruments like the drums, a back beat, electric piano, Guitar, Bass, and a Synth. Some parts of my melody is loud but some are soft and quiet.  I didn’t expect it to come out like that but I found it more cool and relaxing. How it turned out like that is because some of the instruments I used were more louder then the other ones. I liked how it had different levels of volume, it made it more interesting to listen to and fun. I ended up changing the volumes to sound more simalar though because I wanted it to sound soft and quiet.

I first thought it would be good for weather but Mrs Burton later considered I could also use it for Main as well. I agreed with her because after listening to it again I thought that it could sound good for both intros. I worked extremely hard on this and made sure it was perfect. Although it may not be perfect I know that it still is very good for my second third attempt at this. What I fund challenging was how I had to choose instruments that had a similar rhythm to match together. My favourite thing was how I got to make it for PENN. I had loads of fun working on this for the morning. Remember to leave a positive comment on my blog. Ty and Bye!

News Channel/ Radio Music Research

Task Description: This term we are learning about different types of news channel theme music. In these slides I identify the instruments and theme of each song used in the news channel. Everyone from the exctention group worked on this all togther at the same time. I had fun identifying each instrument, it got me to listen closely to hear all the instruments being played at the same time. All of the instruments made the song sound dramatic, sad, or happy.

Thank You Letter for Justine and KPMG Crew

Dear Justine and the KPMG crew,

Thank you so much for all the time you’ve taken out of your busy schedules to plan such fun activities for us to enjoy at Classroom@KPMG. I’m sure it took loads of time to prepare enough delicious food for all of us to eat and to set up all the fun activities. 

On the first day back in Term 2, I loved how we got to make our own clay animal sculptures. There were so many art tools we could use to create our own creatures. I really liked the cute little googly eyes because it made my creature look so cute! Thank you for also letting us take the left over clay with us!

The second time I enjoyed playing the fun lego activities with my friends. It made us think about using team work and sharing our ideas. Although we might not have won the competition I still enjoyed building our own creation according to the theme.

On the last day I liked how we all got to participate in performing our own songs. Making the lyrics and dance for the song wasn’t easy but my friends all contributed and in the end we performed first. I was a little disappointed in myself for forgetting the lyrics of the song. I wish we practised the lyrics more but at least I participated in performing.

I will continue to remember these fun moments as a happy memory that I got to enjoy with my friends. I’m looking forward to visiting KPMG again next year. 

Sincerely yours, Khai Yi

5 Facts

Task Description: Last term we had a Papa New Guinea language week. We had to learn about the culture. One of our tasks was to find 5 facts about Papa New Guinea. I did my own research to find these facts. I tried my best to make sure they were at a year 7 level. I also had some fun decorating my Google drawing and finding the facts.

Term 4 Immersion

This term we started off the day with the immersion assembly. The theme for this term was “Let the Music Play”. At the begginging of assembly Mr Burt, Mrs Nua, Mr J, and Mr Somerville were all away so Mr Wiseman had to start off the assembly instead. Just when we thought Team 1 would start Mr Somerville, Mr Burt, and Mr J started dancing on the stage and lip-syncing to Golden. All of the little kids were singing along with the music.

Next was team 1, there video was about how you can make music with your everyday things. There were making cheese scouns when they randomly all started making beats with the things around them. They created a fun beat to listen to.

Team 2 showed us 2 versions of a few videos and made us think about what emotion they are feeling using the song. The songs have different types of beats that show what emotions they are feeling. Alot of the music sounded very similar and some of them sounded completly different.

Team 3 teachers practised a music beat with metal cups. There hand movements and cup sounds were so in sync it was very surprising. I can’t believe you can make music with cups. There were all very good at it, it was also very surprising they learnt it all in just 1 hour.

Team 4 used songs to express how they feel eachday at school. I really like how they used music to express there emotions. I also realized I was in one of the parts in the video.

Team 5 made a short competition of  ” Are you Smarter then a Teacher, Music Edition”. Mr Wiseman invited 4 student students to play a game of guess which country the music is from. They had to answer a few questions and win the most points to win a bag of lolies each. The students won the game and each got a bag  of candy.

In the end my favourite was for sure team 5’s because I love their humor and I liked how they also invited students to join in with them. I like the theme for this term so much because I want to learn about all types of music around the world.
