Dragon Boat Reflection

We went dragon boating 3 times and i personally think it was a great experience because it taught us things and also tested our strength, First it tested our strength since we had to paddle constantly and sometimes without rest it also made us think more about communicating with the other people on the boat and makes us focus on paddling in sync and yeah in all this was a great experience for our class.

Maestro Tovey reflection!

Listening and watching Maestro tovey reminded me of how hard the times were past, how it hurt to be living, how we questioned are lives, but he reminded me of how hard it is sometimes how around the world people are suffering and i’m here doing nothing to save them and all, but ya i know sometimes you can’t save your precious ones in your life but you can always help someway it also reminded me of how music is a big part of my life it reminded me of when i was on my mom’s lap and she sung me a lullaby or when i was about to go to school and i put some music and dressed myself up, at the speed of light, then id go to the dinner table to eat breakfast and my mom would give me breakfast and all i could think about was music, and whenever i was sad i’d put a good cheerful song to boost up my sense of steam. Music will always be apart of my life, i always wonder what would my mornings be without music, or waking to the groove, what would my life be like without music, have you ever wondered what it would feel like without the sad music in movies and i’d always imagine the happy song in the bad movie. You know maestro tovey really reminded me so much about my past…BUT this Reflection is not only sad depressing corney reflection to get views, nope this is gonna be happy to soo i mean you can exit if you want but, it was funny how he was playing a song called WHY and while he was playing WHY he started to say in the middle of the rhythm WHY…WHY…WHY everyone in the crowd was laughing even the teachers i looked to my right Ms.Con was laughing as well i guess you could say music is inspiration.

VSO Reflection

The VSO connects program in music class was really great and fun we got to work on different songs on the recorder and we got to meet someone who played the  and when we got to play our recorders and danced in the masquerade i it was rally great and i think it was a great addition to our music class for a couple of weeks.

Bard on the Beach Reflection

The Bard on the Beach was very fun and interesting. They made me think of things about William Shakespeare and Romeo & Juliet that I never thought about before.

I liked it when we got to sculpt someone in the form of a line (those lines were really nice sounding too). It was really fun and I enjoyed it. There was also some facts that really surprised me. Like that William Shakespeare wrote 3,000 words! Some of them are actually used today! How fascinating! I wonder how he even thought of those words. I don’t know why, but I also wonder how William Shakespeare died.

Bard on the Beach really helped me understand the play Romeo & Juliet too. There was some cool facts about the play that surprised me. 

Thank you for reading!

Dragon Boating Reflection

Dragon Boating was really fun. It was interesting getting in the boat and into the water. At first, I was scared of getting into the boat and sinking. But once you start paddling, that thought goes away!

I think dragon boating makes you learn different skills. You develop more strength when you really work the paddle. But, I think the skill that you develop the most of is communication. You have to get in sync with your team to get fast and move. So, you need to communicate very well with them.

You can use the strength skill with physical things. Like lifting and carrying. If you communicate with others in a group project you will likely get more work done than if you didn’t. Its easier to talk with others to get your voice heard than if you didn’t.

All-in-all, Dragon boating is helpful. In the game, and off the water.
