Happy harvest - from my garden.

I visited The Secret Garden this morning and everything has been GROWING!  We will have to harvest the last of the allotments then dig them all over and begin again.  You should have seen the weeds!

Yesterday I took my Christmas present out into the garden and picked lots of produce.  Can you recognise anything in my basket?  I wonder how many different plants we can name in comments below.  Isabella, I know you are watching and will be the first to respond.  Who else is checking out the blog before school?

Bonus points for anyone who can tell me what this type of basket is called!

Phelix's first composition!

Yesterday we learnt how to compose our own music using Garageband on the iPad. Here is my first effort. We had a lot of fun!

Georgia wrote this Moment in Time based on the painting.  She made a movie and composed the music in the background.

Making music was a bit hard because we needed to work together to record each track.  First we made a beat, then an accent and the melody.  I hope you can hear our music behind my video.

I have learnt on Garage Band that when you go on audio recorder you have to turn your other recorded tracks down.  You always must keep the sound below the red line.   

We made music using just things from around the class.
