I have ritin a story ona video that is bast on a man playing a piano and remembering things from the past that has hapend to hin

I started play the huge dark brown piano. I wasn’t playing a song but just some kind of tune that i played with my wife before my wife past away. Then I started to remember things like when my delightful and amusing wife sate on the compacted rocklike wood seat.

Then I remember the great battle and being forced to assassinate other people with a sniper. I remember hiding behind a fragmented wall by another soldier that jumped out to shoot but he got shot in the chest and past out.

As I played the piano I i had a memory of when i gave my grandson a toy sea horse. That he rode for hours and hours. To this day I still remember his astonished face when he saw the gift and when he pushed the last key for the song and then smiled at me

Ako Nagtahes Part in the Extraviga

W.A.L.T do a live performance in front of people we don't know.
.
This term Ako Ngatahi have been doing a topic on New Zealand Music Month.  We had to choose one of ten songs that were made before 2001. One of them was Gutter Black by Hello Sailor because I thought it was cool and I was right.
Here is a link Gutter Black


We made props for our performance. He made a drum set and painted it, We made three guitars and a saxophone too.  We performed on the 30th of August and the 31st  in the High School auditorium.

Some things that wete good were that everyone was there that said they were going. No-one got hurt or fell off the stage and that most of us had fun. Some of the bad things that happened were that for one of the acts the wrong music was played and that some people wanted to see the act but they couldn't because they didn't have tickets.

Thanks for reading, bie

Mid Year review

These last two terms in Ako Ngatahi I think that I have been a bit bad at doing my work on time and putting it up, but next term I hope to improve by putting up and finishing work in the time frame I'm given. I think that I can improve by not sitting by someone that will distract me from doing my work. I also think that I might need to work in a quiet working environment. I know that I need to improve my letter and number formation. When planning my work, I need to make sure I am being realistic about the amount of work that I can do in the time I am given. I feel that I have a negative attitude about both learning and my own abilities and that this is impacting on my work. I need to work on adjusting my attitude, I think that this will help me learn better and help me finish work on time.
