Strike

"STRIKE original music, dynamic presentation and creative flexibility have wowed, entertained, moved, surprised and impressed audiences within New Zealand and around the world."

Sam, Megan and Ollie up on stage

Today we were wowed by an amazing performance from Strike.
Megan, Sam and Ollie were fortunate enough to be selected to go on stage to give it a go. Megan said "it was really cool going up there and trying to go fast and keep up with the other people!"
Ollie thought "it was good being up there with other drummers, because I am a drummer. It was really loud and gave me a good vibe!" Sam "could see why they enjoy it, because it was so much fun!"

What was your favourite part of their performance??

Interviewing

We have been learning about how to ask open and closed questions, and how good questions can provide us with alot of information. We have come up with 10 open questions that we asked a buddy in the class, that would give us more information about their culture.

Here we are asking our questions and writing down the key words in their answers.

I can not wait to read what they found out!!
