What is a ochestra?

Hey Everyone,

So last week we started working on what orchestras and we need to figure out what an orchestra is so basically  what an orchestra is a bunch of stringed and woodwind instruments such as Violins and cellos flutes and trombones and tubas are put together with a conductor to be in a big group having to wave a little stick around to help the other performers concentrate and keep the Beat and Rhythm, I do have some questions to show and answer

How do they seat instruments? Strings go in the first seating and after on the second seating is woodwind and then brass.

What instruments are included? Violin, Cello, Flute, Harp, Viola, 

Who is the most important member of the orchestra? Violin

What is the biggest group of instruments? Tuba and other Woodwind instruments

Do we have any orchestras? Up in Auckland, we have an Orchestra called the Auckland Philharmonia and it serves the country's largest most vibrant city with a comprehensive program of concerts and education and outreach activities

It is important that Year 7-8 do Friday Sport. Do you agree if disagree?

 Hello Everyone,

We are back with more of our do now blog posts so, I agree that it is important that Year 7-8 do sport because some Year 7-8's need to do sport because when they head to Year 9 it helps get them sorted and because not much Year 7-8's have P.E in a week so they need some exercise if some don't do club sports so say if you go to a school and you don't get P.E at all you need a little exercise well I believe that all children in schools should do some sport.

Is Icecream better then cake? Do you disagree or agree

 Hello Everyone,

The real question is: Is Icecream better than Cake? I think no Icecream is not better than Cake is much much better because it is really yum in my opinion Icecream isn't better because Icecream can make your brain freeze up and it can melt in the sun but its also good on a good hot sunny day but Cake is the one I like the most because it doesn't make my brain freeze and it's really yum.

Cats are better than dogs.. Do you agree or disagree?

 Good Morning Everyone

Today we started working on different work and were doing Persuade Writing and now we have to make a blog post on if Cats are better than dogs.. Do you agree or disagree? I disagree I think dogs are better than cats because dogs can protect you when there is a robber or a bad person and they keep you company and they keep you exercising when you need to walk them.
