Chords - Major - written in a major key, has happy uplifting tone.

Tempo - fast - could walk quickly to make music feel energetic, gives movement/pace
speed     moderate - mix of two
              slow -dragging feet pace, makes music feel lethargic, boring, energy, locking, sleepy

Dynamics - Loud (fate)-gets viewer attention enhances emotional/mood - makes happy happier etc
volume       Quiet (piano) either background noise or used to make viewer focus
                   Charging - quiet-loud - builds intensity

Sustainability

What we learned so far In our sustainability hurumanu is we studied on the problems of the earth and our current problems including the overpopulation to covid-19. We also studied up on how this happens and how to prevent it. We also studied up things to put stop to it, Slow it down and prevent it from happening or how to not get infected.

Also we had to do some games with dragon cards, it was fun as well after we got the hang of how to play. We were in groups of 2-4 with class mates, or just our friends. The card game was sort of challenging but it was also a good game to play.  Here's also a pic of what the dragon cards look like:







The 3rd work we did in class was called natural resources sustainability. 

That's a picture of 2 work things we did for natural resources, the 2nd bit was a bit hard figuring out where the words match with the sentences on the opposite side. for one point we had to ( with whole class) we all had a choose to agree or disagree for a statement that was said by Mr Carter, including money and one other thing that i cannot remember what it is. 

The next thing after that we did was paragraphing. We used these cards called 8 handy paragraphs/structure and another card called 12 ways to write a paragraph. It was helpful to help us write a paragraph. So after that we had to do our own paragraphs, for me it was a bit hard, so i only got 2 paragraphs done and including the other one that we did with the teacher.

here is a link to my work: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QaB4RNFxqwGCKzlVmna3BB-gZ54t_TmvScHX4S4px44/edit

for the last thing we did was called measurement for maths, We started off on mathletics after Mr Carter was explaining some things to the class. It was quick fun doing mathletics for some reason i enjoy doing it.
So that's all I did so far
