Orchestra Trip - Auckland Philharmonia Ochestra

Students from LS2 got the chance to go to the Auckland Town Hall to hear the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra group. The Philharmonia Orchestra group sung 3 pieces of music and one of them was called Romeo & Juliet which is familiar. There were four different instruments that were played which were the brass, woodwind, string, and the percussion. My favorite instrument which is out of the bass elements was the french because it flowed with the song and it was loud from where we were sitting. A lot of our classmates were waiting for the drums. One of my favorite part during the trip was when a Opera Singer sung a song from the musical, Carmen. After that we were amazed by a Dance from St Kentigern and Ngatapaware school. They had done an amazing job with their performance and should keep up their amazing work. Panmure Bridge has had this experience for two years and this year was my first. Hopefully this experience goes on.

Roller Skating

As part of Kiwi sports this term Mr Ogilvie has kindly offered skating lessons in the hall for students year 4-8. Today was the year 7&8 and everyone was estatic. First Puna (our skating coach) taught us how to get up on the roller skates which was pretty easy for some people. We then had a warm up game by practicing how to skate. I found it easy but I think I need to work on my momentum. Soon we had a race and it was a bit hard because people were screaming all over the place. Luckily I came first for my group. At the end of the lesson we were lucky to get VIP Skate Pass which meant we could go to one free skating class. Thank you to Mr Ogilvie and Mrs Anderson for supervising us and Puna for teaching us how to skate.
