Made as a podcast in Garageband '11

A few weeks ago we went to Te Awhina Marae. We all got together to record what we did at the marae.

This week we decided who are school councillors for the next couple of terms. Summer made a great job of making a speech to encourage her classmates to vote for her. She took the Easi-speak home and after a few practice goes managed to record her speech. Well done, Summer.

My Dream

Last night I had a funny dream,
I blew up my balloon,
Then held on tight, jumped into space,
And landed on the moon.

The people there looked very strange,
Three eyes and one green nose.
They had six legs and walked like crabs,
With corks instead of toes.

They showed me all around the place,
Then gave me things to eat,
A nasty drink that looked like ink,
And funny tasting meat.

They said,"Now come and see our king,
He's grand- his nose is red."
I said, "No thanks," and shut my eyes,
And woke up home in bed.

When Mum says,
"I'll be there in a minute."
She really means,
I'll be at least another half-hour."

But when Mum says
"I want this room tidied NOW, or there'll be trouble."
She really, really means it!

Here we are on another school year at Appleby School. We are concentrating on making our voices the best that we can. To do that we record ourselves, play it back and discuss how we might improve and then re-record.

Here is our first attempt for 2010. It is based on a poem, My Other Jandal' by Don Franks.


My Other Jandal by Don Fanks

Have you seen my other jandal?
I had it just before.
It shouldn’t be too hard to find-
It’s somewhere on the shore.
It disappeared all by itself
When I was in the waves,
And that’s the way my other jandal
Usually behaves.
