Lockdown by Jairus

Today TALAMUKA-'A-TONGA's class is learning to write acrostic and ballad poems about any topic that is relevant to us so I chose 'Lockdown' because we are doing online learning and being stuck at home because New Zealand is level 4 lockdown.

 Campus Health Notice: Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19 ...

    Lockdown poem

L - Lockdown Level 4 started 17th August 2021 midnight, so we all scattered out of sight

O - on and off levels like the world is a packet of pebbles

C - Coronavirus is everywhere, so we need to be aware

K - Keep your mask on outside, or stay home and hide

D - Doctors working hard during this pandemic and students doing online school work to continue with their academic

O - outside is not safe, we need to minimize the case

W - When will this be over, I miss driving around seeing my family in my dad's rover

N -  Need to stay in your bubble, or the virus will double

Retelling a Tonga story 'I he mala'e vakapuna by Maria

I was reading the dual language book 'I he Mala'e vakapuna and she retell the story using her own words.
'I he mala'e vakapuna 'oku ou lava 'o sio ki he vakapuna. Mei he me'alele 'oku ou lava 'o sio ki he vakapuna' 'oku puna hake. 'Oku ou sio fakalongolongo pē mei tu'a ki he pailate. 'Oku ou sio kia Nana 'i he mala'e vakapuna.'

Investigation by Maria

 I am learning to investigate by asking a question to collect data then I use a tally chart and pictogram graph to display data. I asked my family about  their favourite lolly.

 I chose this topic because I want to know where I come from.

Explanation about Orchestra by Langiola

 This term our topic is about Arts. We have enjoyed learning about orchestra especially learning about the different families of instruments used by professional players. 

WHY IS AN ORCHESTRA SEMBLANCE THAT WAY?

An orchestra is a large group of musicians who gather together to play a variety of instruments. They also play instruments to entertain people. Claudio Monteverdi, an Italian opera composer, created the first appearance of a professional orchestra in the 17th century. Claudio came up with the idea when he started using certain instruments to perform his songs.

In this writing I will explain the four families of instruments and how each one creates sound, as well as why they're located in that order, in this explanation.

First, the family of instruments and musicians are the string family which includes the Violin, Viola, Cello, String bass, Double bass, and harp. Noise and vibration produce sound and notes in all stringed instruments. Musicians vibrate strings by touching them with a bow, striking them, or plucking them. However, if you stretch a string tight and pluck it, it is unlikely to produce a loud sound. The string family is at the front row because, The strings normally have the most notes and most elevated level of tune, so it would be good to place them in front, where they are noticeable both to the crowd and to one another and have the most obvious opportunity with regards to being heard.


Second, the next family that sits behind the string family are the woodwinds which include the flute, bassoon & contrabassoon, piccolo, clarinets and oboe. Woodwind instruments are made of a long empty container of wood or metal. The sound is made by blowing air through a very little part of shaved wood called a reed, or across a little mouthpiece. Air is blown across the reed joined to the mouthpiece of the instrument, vibrating the air down the container of the instrument to create sounds. Different notes are delivered by covering or opening openings in the instrument tube, changing the reed, and size of the instrument tube. The name "woodwind" started on the grounds that the instruments were once made of wood and are played by using wind. 

Third, the family that sits behind the woodwinds are the brass instruments which include the French horn, trumpet, trombone and tuba. Brass instruments are wind instruments made of metal with a cup-shaped mouthpiece. The brass family produces sound just like the woodwind family, brass players use their breath to produce sound, however rather than blowing into a reed, you vibrate your own lips by humming them against a metal cup-molded mouthpiece. The mouthpiece helps with amplifying the humming of the lips, which creates sound. Wind and metal instruments have a directional sound that normally projects, so they are as yet discernible from the rear of the stage (typically on risers so their sound goes over the tops of different performers without them stressing to be heard).


Last, the last family of instruments and musicians are the percussion that includes the piano, timpani, snare drum and the bass drum. Percussion instruments are played by being struck or shaken. Percussion instruments create sounds by being hit. Drums have an empty body that amplifies the commotion of an extended film being hit. A few instruments are shaken, similar to the maracas. The Percussion is seated at the back because The percussion is normally L O U D in case you are near it. Putting it at the rear of a symphony completes two things. It permits a touch of the room that progresses the sound, and the second put a ton of delicate sound safeguards (different individuals from the ensemble) between the player and the crowd.



In conclusion, an orchestra is an important event but at the same time it looks kind of uneventful for those who are not interested in classical music. The family of instruments I was interested in listening to their sound was the string family. 


Convert ratio to simplest form and ratio to simplest fractions

 This week I have learnt to simply ratio. It is quite easy for me because I can apply my knowledge about simplifying fractions.

  1. 25 to  125 = 1 : 5

25 x 1 = 25

25 x 5 = 125

25 divided by 25 = 1

125 divided by 25 = 5 

      Ratio = 1 : 5


  1. 45 to 180 = 1 : 4

45 x 1 = 45

45 x 4 = 180

45 divided by 45 = 1

180 divided by 25 = 4

Ratio = 1 : 4


  1. 36 : 12 = 3 : 1

12 x 3 = 36

12 x 1 = 12

36 divided by 12 = 3

12 divided 12 = 1

Ratio = 3 : 1 


  1. 14 : 56 = 1 : 4

14 x 1 = 14

14 x 4 = 56

14 divided by 14 = 1

56 divided by 14 = 4
