Letter about orchestra
Kia Ora! Today we wrote an imaginary letter to someone. We had to think about the key parts of a letter like the salutation, who it is to and from, sign out and more. Our letter was about our Manukau symphony orchestra yesterday, I enjoyed writing my name at the end because I wanted to put it in a nice font.
The hard part about writing this letter was covering all of the parts of the event. The orchestra was held at the due drop events center.

Dear mom,
Yesterday everyone except the year ones and twos.
went to the Manukau symphony orchestra. We went on the bus and had a 15-20 minute drive and we were there. They had lots of different instruments such as the cello, drums, harps, violins and more. There was also a conductor, the person that kept all the music and tune at the same pace and tune. We saw woodwind instruments and string instruments the most.
They played all different songs while a lady sat on a sofa telling us stories. I loved the story “the Emperor and the nightingale” because the lady that played the flute was very talented when she played the nightingale in one breath.
My most favourite one was “the swan.” They told us to imagine a swan gliding through a pond. That was very calming and they only used the cello and harp. The last performance was a Star Wars song. That explained why there was a disco ball at the top, because the lights were flashing like a disco while the Star Wars song played.The orchestra was really unique because all these instruments were playing the same tune. My favourite instrument was the cello because it
was very graceful while being used. My highlight was being able to hear and see how all the instruments were being used, especially the violin. I noticed that they have to have very good hand movement and placement. Then we had to start moving back to school around 2:00pm.
Sincerely,
Zaynab
