Four Voice Types:
Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass.

Soprano voices are subdivided into coloratura, lyric, dramatic and mezzo. COLORATURA soprano have unusually high voices and specialize in performing music coloured by ornamentation, runs and rapid passages requiring great agility.

Alto and Contralto are used synonymous, though contralto sometimes seems to carry the connotation of a particularly deep alto voice. 

Tenor voices, like soprano voices, sometimes are classified according to type. Robusto (robust), lyric, dramatic and heroic are adjectives commonly attached to tenors.

Baritones, like mezzo-sopranos, are in competition with the most prevalent voice types of their sex. They cannot hope to impress audience with extreme range or feats of brilliance.

Ta Moko

In Social Studies we have been learning about traditional Maori art, Ta Moko. Ta Moko is the permanent marking of the face and body as traditionally practiced my Maori. The marks in general are spirals drawn with great nicety and even elegance. One side corresponds with the other. The marks on the body resemble foliage in old chased ornaments, convolutions of filigree work, but in these they have such a luxury of forms that of a hundred which at first appeared exactly the same no two were formed alike on close examination.

My Design:

My design is really traditional to the Maori Culture. I just picked designs that I liked and thought looked good. 

30 Second Film

Design a Game in Maths

For the past two weeks in Maths we discovered that we didn't really understand what other words for basic operations were. So we thought and we decided that we would do some research about other words that stood for the basic operations. We did this research in groups and after that research we made four word clouds, one for each basic operation. Here are these word clouds. 

Next we decided that we would try and make a Maths game about these words . We did some research around games and how we could incorporate those words into them this is our design process for our game. 

Next we had to actually decide on what game we were actually going to create. We looked at our ideas and decided on a game and made a slide show. For the game we had to include the other words for the operations and we came up with, Plus, Plus, Minus, Divide or Times.

This is that slide show,

Then we made a Screencastify explaining our game, This is the Screencastify
