Today it is Red nose day. we raised £172.61

On Thursday we went to the Music Festival in Midyell. There was Samba music and Beat boxing. A man taught us Samba music, it comes from Brazil. The instruments we used were tambourines, big drums, small drums, shakers, spring board, chimes and little egg shakers. We played a song alltogether which they play at the yearly Brazilian Festival. There was different parts for every instrument. Everybody thought different instruments were difficult to play.

Hobbit taght us how to Beat box. Beat boxing is percussion with mouth and throat. He beat boxed his own song at the beginning of the lesson and he was really good. He could make a sound like an ambulance siren and a boat horn. He said bogus and then everyone looked shocked but he said it to teach us how to say something beat boxers use in songs. The basic sounds are B K T. We also made up our own tunes in a group of five. Btbbtb btbt that was the basic rhythm of the girls song.

Today we went to Bonhoga gallery first we went to the cafe because they were some pictuers in the cafe and we drawed and wrote about  them . Then we went  up the stairs they were more pictuers on the walls next to the stairs and then we went up stairs into the art gallery were they were more pictures and my favourite picture was the wedding dress on a coat hangerit was a prity  and they were a picture of a girl that was my second favourite one we went down stairs  and had a snack and then we went  up stairs for a few minits and Bradley had his chacat off and then Jenifer came with his chacat on her arme she and then gave it to him to put on .

Today we went to Bonhoga to see The Royal Photography Society exhibition, some had been edited and some hadn’t. There was a picture of a person dressed up so that you couldn’t see her face but when you looked in the mirror you could see her face. There was also a picture of a lady and if you move the eyes seem to follow you. The picture called “I’m coming to get you” was very strange it had loads of pipes for arms and a sink for the head. My favourite picture was of a very bright coloured desert with trees and plants called The Urban Desert. I also liked Recycling Tree I thought that it was very clever because it was a tree with plastic containers hanging from it. End of Season was very good as well because it had nice blue colours on it. Plover with Shell was pretty because the bird was positioned with one of it’s legs up and the other one down. There was a picture called Earth-forest Sunset and it looked like thunder mountain. There was also a picture of a man with a snake around his neck and it was called Intimate.

We went to Bonhoga and saw some photos at the cafe first and then we went up the stairs and looked at all the photos on the wall. some of them had been tampered with like making a sink into a sink monster and all the famous buildings on a pipe on a bit of ground.  There was a very nice bench that had been donated I liked it because it had a lot of knots that had been varnished and bendy so it looked really nice. We went for juice and biscuits at the cafe and went to the toilet. We went to the top gallery once more because my favourite ones are the Recycling Tree, Animal Tracks, Earth Forest, Song of a Fisherman and Pigeon Fancier.  

On Wednesday we went to Bonhoga, We took clipboards and pencils. We went up 3 flights of  stairs. First we went to the cafe it had lots of cool pictures, I liked a bird with a shell,a cool recycling tree, a  floating boat and 3 girls in the same in polkadot dress . Next we went up the stairs and we saw a few pictures they’re was one that looked like somebody off an advert and another one with a lonely looking wood which had a name called Untitled. Next we went to the last room and had a quick look around and then we went downstairs in to the café. We got some biscuits and a drink. Then we went back upstairs and we looked at more nice photos. My favourite picture was The Little Girl In Blue and I Love You Mom.

Today we went to Bonhoga we had larind abot photos and my favorite wos The litte girl

in blue she had a hair clip.

We went to Bonhoga gallery to see some photos that could of been edited or not. First we went down stairs to the café. In the cafe my favorite picture was called Recycling Tree because it was clever. It had bottles hanging from the branches. I didn’t like Split Persanality because the ears were stretched because of ear rings and the mohauk was hard. Next we went to the stairs and looked at some pictures. I liked the picture with the fire brigade rescuing a man on a stretcher. On the top floor there was a photo of a sink with a human body with pipe arms and legs. I liked that one. I walked on to a picture called untitled, I think it should be called the Magic Window because on the mirror the reflection is different. We went to the café for a quick snack then went to the top floor. There was a picture of a child cooking a big meal in China called Super Shef.
