Some students from Panmure Bridge School had the opportunity to go to the auckland city to see the orchestra play. An Orchestra is a group of instruments especially one combining string, woodwind, brass, and percussion sections and playing classical music. There were different types of instruments that I didn't know about like a Viola, Cello, Flute, Oboe etc. My favourite instrument was Harp because it added a nice and delightful noise.

Respect is having self-discipline, self-control and taking care of yourself. Our theme and Topic for Kiwi Can is Respect and Unique. Unique means having something special that somebody might not have. Our teachers for this week's kiwi can was Mr Simanu and Mr Latu. Our Energiser for this week was Frutti Tutti. In this game Mr Simanu had to say Apple, Orange, or Banana, we had to do the action. It was even harder because we were all standing in a circle so if anybody made a mistake we would all fall over. Our Activity for this week was 1 truth and 1 lie. For this game a person had to tell 1 lie and 1 truth and we had to pick a side for which one we think was real. This game was fun because you got to learn about other people. The most interesting thing I learnt was that Mr O could eat a 6-inch Meatball sub in under 30 seconds.
