music E-portfolio Sample.

Music - E-portfolio Sample - Term 4 2018

This term we have been learning how to play some new rhythms on our bucket drums.

We learnt to play the down beat where we play on each beat, it looks like this:

Then we learnt to play the front beat where we only play on beats 1 and 3, it looks like this:

We also learnt to play the back beat where we only play on beats 2 and 4, it looks like this:

After we had practiced the beats we learnt to play along with some songs.


What do you think is the most important thing to do so that you stay in time when you are playing on the bucket drums? If most of the people are playing a different tune then play along with them.

Which song do you think would be good to play the bucket drums to and why? We could keep one working on happier.

What could you do to improve your bucket drumming in the future?

Starting at the right time as the others.

What do you think is the most important thing to do so that you stay in time when you are playing on the bucket drums? I think I should start at the right time because I have been looking at other things insted of looking at the teacher.

Which song do you think would be good to play the bucket drums to and why? the guy who doe the bucket durming and the song together i think i need to learn more of the ones that he does.

What could you do to improve your bucket drumming in the future? I think I should listen more so then i know the steps because some of the steps are very coveuseing.

The Japanese Puffer Fish

The Japanese puffer fish is found on the Japanese ocean and it lives in the bottom  of the ocean.
it does some amazing things to be noticed.


The Japanese puffer fish has very shiny scales. it looks invisible to the human eye. The puffer fish has lots of spots and it has some big eyes.


Golden sand covers the ocean floor in the water surrounding Japan. The Japanese puffer fish lives by big rocks and dusty sand. the puffer fish makes some cool designs in the water. the big ocean floor is covered by the creation of the Japanese puffer fish. Japanese puffer fish uses his fins to make designs. The Japanese puffer fish likes rough currents because it has a softer ground to make really nice designs.



The Japanese puffer fish can use their sharp fins to make designs. he uses his designs  to attract the females.

Japanese puffer fish can break sand into little tiny pieces.

The puffer fish is cool because he can make designs and I really want to see one one day.
