Gabe's Information Report on an Orchestra

Harp

An orchestra is a huge group of people that make music. Every orchestra has a conductor out front. An orchestra has four sections of instruments. The sections are string, brass, woodwind and percussion. 

The string section of the orchestra is played by plucking or by being rubbed by a bow. 

The percussion section of the orchestra is played by being hit with your hands or sticks. My favourite percussion instrument is the snare drum.

 The third section of the orchestra is called the woodwind section, this section is made out of wood. You play wind instruments by blowing air into the mouth piece. 

The last section is called the brass family. The brass section is made out of golden metal and silver metal. 

All these musical sections combined make amazing music.

The Accident

The Accident

This is writing activity helps the student to sequence their writing. The comic strip is used as a motivation to write his/story…  This is Gabe's interpretation of the pictures

One afternoon in the city it was very cold and people were shopping.

I saw an old man with a wooden walking stick. He was just about to cross a busy road.

The old man with a wooden stick walking stepped onto the busy road. He didn't look both ways and almost got knocked out !

 The old man didn't see the car but the car driver did see the old man.  The car driver slammed on his brakes, and the car almost did a drift.

We are tomorrow finishing off our writing, so stay tuned for the final caption…...
