Yeah, I can now play songs on the guitar!

On a shiny and fantastic day,I had my guitar lesson. First I woke up with a fright because my alarm clock did not go off, so I had to get ready as fast as a cheetah. When it was around 9:30, I practised on my guitar until it was 10 o'clock. Then it was time to go so my mum and I raced to the car and we drove to my guitar class.

                    After a couple of minutes, I have arrived at my destination. Then I crossed the road with fear because there were a lot of cars, and they were like speeding bullets. It was cold inside the classroom, so I ran around the hall and said " Hello" to my teacher. After a few minutes I saw my friend Evelen so I sat down next to her.Our teacher told us to play a song that involved these notes A,B,C C chord,F,E,B chord,E,D A miner and then D,C, E chord.It was really hard but I managed to play it when my teacher helped me. After that we completed a challenge where we had to play the first to the last string.
                 Before long, our teacher our teacher taught us another song, we played A,B,C,D,E,F,G and the low A,B,C,D,E,F,G. That was really fun because we all had to play it really quickly. I felt really nervous because we sat in a circle and we all had to share what we have learnt. I went first, I shared the first song which had A,B,C C chord, F,E, B chord,E,D, A miner, D,C E chord. My teacher said "Great job" and I was really happy about that.
               Then, we all went off into pairs and I went with Evelen because I needed to teach her a song that I know. We played and played until we finished the song. After a while we all went into a circle again so that each pair could play a song. After the first pair went, it was our turn to play a song. We both decided to not play the A,B,C song instead we played another song. After we played our teacher said " Well done" and we were both very happy about it. Then it was 11 o'clock so I said "Goodbye" and left. It was so weird because it was like the time had sped and my lesson ended so quickly.
                Today was really fun and exciting because I learnt new chords and notes that I could share with my family and friends.

Mum, can I sign up for more guitar lessons?

On a bright and shiny Saturday morning I had a guitar lesson. I woke up at 8.30 with fear because I had a nightmare about being chased by zombies. Then I got ready and went to have some breakfast. I had some porridge and toast. It was the yummiest breakfast ever.
         After I had breakfast my mum and I hopped into the car and we went my guitar lesson. When I got there, it was raining cats and dogs so I ran into my class. When I went in I saw everyone sitting in a circle so I joined in. Then my teacher asked, "Can you play the Spanish song with Launoa?"
"Sure", I said so Launoa and I played and it was fantastic because we played all the right notes.
             Before long, Cocoa (my partner) taught me to play all the notes. We started with A,B,C and D then E,F,G. My partner gave me a note and I played it. Then Cocoa and I had a contest on how fast we could play the notes from A to G.Afterwards Cocoa and I played for my teacher and I felt nervous like I was on stage.
         When it was nearly 11 o'clock my teacher tested me on the notes and I nailed it. After that, I played the notes and the Yankee doodle song in the C note and the D note again for him. Finally it was time to go home so I said, "Goodbye, see you next term!"
           Today was awesome but I feel sad because this is the last class for Term two. However I had a really great time because I learnt new songs and chords.

WALT understand and use descriptive language.
I know this when I write appropriate similes and adjectives in my weekend recount.

Oh mum, can I play the guitar please?

On Saturday the 20th of of June I had guitar lessons. My alarm went off at 8am and my ears were about to explode. Then I opened al the curtains in the house  and had breakfast with my mum and grandma. After I ate, my mum dropped me of at my guitar lessons. However I had to cross the road and the cars were going as fast as cheetahs having a race.

            Before long, I made it to guitar class (finally). When I went in, to my teacher and said, "Hi" and my teacher said, "Good morning" back to me. Then I sat down and my teacher told all of us to play the high A,B,C,D,E,F,G and then the low A,B,C,D,E,F,G. I felt nervous like a kid going on stage who was about to sing.. After that, I played the Yankee doodle song and then I taught other people how to play it as well because I had master it.
          After wards we practised the A,B,C,D,C,F and G again and again so we'd remember it. Then we had to do it backwards and forward twice. After that we did that we had a competition to try and beat our teacher in a A,B and c contest. When it was my turn , I nailed it and I beat him because I had one mistake. Then Maggie ( my partner) taught me the Yankee doodle song in a different note. So I practised it again and again.
           Before the end of class, my teacher taught me all the notes and if I learn it all all the notes before this other student I win.I also learnt the E Alarmonica minor scale which was A,B,C,D,E,F and G,B. When I began playing the notes, I got confused but then I got it and wrote it and packed in my guitar and said, "Bye!" to everyone.
            Today was  fun because I got to learn new chords and songs.
We are learning to understand and use descriptive language.
