Our Time with Fionnuala By Nicole

Week one

The first week Fionnuala came to our school and we  started off by doing some exercises by touching our toes, knees, hips and other parts of our bodies. Then we split into four groups and we made up sounds. One group made a sound ‘thump’ which was made by jumping. Another group did a sound ‘click, cock’ which was a wee bit quieter than the others but it still fitted in with the music. Another group did a sound the was like ‘niwwww’ and the other group did’ tissssssssssssshhhh’ they all picked a beat to come in on (1,2,3 or 4) After that we got into another three groups and the sounds were kada ka boom kada ka boom boom boom, chik chik chik and boom ba boom ba boom ba bib bib.

Week two

The next week was the first week to do it on the Elluminate software and Fionnuala introduced us to the software and we used the pointing wand to label ourselves on the pictures we took. We all got called up to write out our names beside our faces and got into our groups from last week and performed and Andrew, who was not there the other week, conducted us for Fionnuala.

Week three

The third week we listened to some music and drew pictures of what we heard and put them in order in our groups to make a story. We performed it to the class by holding up the pictures and saying what are picture was about but one group got person(Alana) to say the whole story by herself.

Week four

This week we  wrote out our stories on our iPads and after that we recorded them on Garage Band but since the whole class was recording at once we covered our hands so that you couldn’t hear anyone talking in the background.
