John on the Saxophone!!
I really enjoyed it when my dad played the sax in Room 4. (Meg). My favourite part was playing "We Wish you a Merry Christmas." (Abbey). I liked it how John could play 3 different types of saxophone! (Lily). John played heaps of other instruments when he was younger. (Lily). It was really fun watching John play the saxophone. (Cassey). My favourite instrument was the soprano saxophone. (Riley). I like John's music. It sounds really different. (Madia). I enjoyed it how we measured the different sounds. (Matthew). I really liked John's music because it was fun and relaxing. (Faith). My favourite saxophone was the tenor. (Luana). I really liked the baritone. (Jason). I enjoyed asking John interesting questions. (Joseph). I liked measuring how high it went and how low it went. (Owen). I like the big instrument - the baritone. (Anthony). I enjoyed all the songs the same amount. They were all great. (Brandon). I liked all the songs because they all had a wonderful tune. (Jacob). I liked hearing the different sounds that the different instruments make. (Lehlani). I think John is the best musician ever! (Jakson). I think Meg's dad is very good at playing the saxophone. (Anna). I really really liked the baritone because it was really tuneful. (Lauchie). I really liked the baritone because it was the most relaxing. (George). I liked all the instruments he played. (Billy). There were different types of saxophone. (Kevin). My favourite part was when we sang really really fast. (Erika). My favourite part was touching the saxophone. It felt smooth. (Sofia). My favourite instrument was the baritone. Jazz music makes me want to relax. (Angelina). Thank you John. (Regan).

What Now
On Sunday I went to Wellington city. It was windy and dark at 7 o'clock in the morning. We met Adam from What Now.
There was lots of gunge in bottles and buckets. I played ready steady. It is a game that has people who go towards the buckets and pour the gunge in. My team didn't win. At the end of What Now I went to the playground. I saw Miss Wooles at the playground.
