Dubstep

Dubstep is a type of genre that uses electronic sounds to create music. The sounds used were familiar to drum and bass sounds. One of the main sounds that Dubstep tracks used was the bass drop. In the track the percussion would stop, then the track would start again but will be much more louder.

The first tracks were made all the way back to the late 1990’s. Dubstep developed upon the years and became better and better by the moment. It even became a beat box rhythm. People all over the world started liking dubstep. One of the most famous Dubstep DJs name was Skrillex. He is my favourite Dubstep DJ.

Netbook Reflection 2012

This year has been a great year, especially with our netbooks. When I first got it I did not know anything about it. But now, I know a lot more about our netbooks. Netbooks have been really helpful with my learning in many ways. But at the same time it makes learning really fun everyday I go onto it. My netbook is a big change to my learning, a really big change.

I think netbooks are better than Pencil and Paper because it makes learning fun. Also its easier to delete mistakes, and if I spell a word wrong it is easier to correct it. It keeps all my work neat and tidy no matter how much I have. There are just too many reasons why netbooks are better. So we are all lucky to have these netbooks, but its not just our school that are lucky, there are six other schools as well.

It sounds like there are no problems with our netbooks right?. But there are some problems, like the hinges of the netbook, they are really weak one of mine has come off but still sits in its place. Also the screen quality is very vulnerable, and has no protection whatsoever. The pages that come up before you login takes time that we really need for our learning.

Overall this year has been a great year with our netbooks. A big thanks to the manaiakalani trust for everything you’ve all gone through to get our netbooks, I really appreciate it. This year has been really fun, I hope next year is even better!

Immersion Assembly

On a cold winter day, school started again. It is term three, and our topic is ‘Go For Gold’. Every time a new term starts, we have an Immersion Assembly. Go For Gold, is mostly about the Olympics, and the most famous people that attended it. Immersion Assembly’s show movies, Or Acting about what will happen this term. I think this term is going to be awesome.

As we strolled into the hall the cold air hit me and then I was freezing. We sat down and watched movies, the first movie was team 1’s. It was about two Olympic legends, they were Yvonne Williams, And Dick Quax. Mrs George interviewed them at their houses. It had lots of talking in it, the cool thing was Mrs George wore Dick Quax silver medal.


Team 2 had a movie playing about the three keys to be an Olympian. The three keys were practice, practice, practice. When I look around everyone looked bored. I kind of got what their example for us were. Practice, practice, practice makes us perfect. Is what I thought their example was.

Art Alive

Art is so cool! There are loads of art types like 3d Sidewalk Art, which is my favorite type of art, Sculpture Art, Spray Paint Art, Or even normal painting. I like 3D sidewalk art because it looks so real. Some are even scary because you look like you'll fall in it! I wonder how long it takes to paint these amazing art works? It must take hours of work. I want to make a 3D sidewalk art when I grow up, it is awesome!
