Singing inspiration4 March

• Yesterday we went to the royal festival hall (Capital letters) and we sang with so many different schools and we had parts to sing there was people singing very low, people singing high, and people sing middle. I would say I improved by moving more and I learnt more of the words and I think I have gone higher than I have before. yesterday was the experience we have ever had although we had to stand up for so long and had lunch late we still enjoyed our self. we even saw miss lackushum are old TA our singing got called really good and we moved more to the music in TIME because we was getting videoed I have learnt so much about singing.

Mr Salazar’s Comments 4 March

• Skye, thank you for working on your Movie Maker project. Could you add the movie to the powerpoint?

• Thank you for writing about your experience in Sing Inspiration. I need you to look back through the slide and add punctuation and capital letters. You didn’t put any full stops in the paragraph, so it is like one long sentence. I marked a few of the errors, but there are more that you will need to find and correct.
