A girls goal

 Hello fellow readers!. Before we begin I would like to share with you some ecstatic news!. I have began my very own YouTube channel!. It is called Kayla's Magical World ( a product of my eight-year old imagination!). I already have two short videos on the platform!. 

I adore learning as you may have already known and as a result I want to learn the basic of a bunch of languages in 2021!. Amongst them is French and Italian.

Irish- I have been learning this language for seven years now in school although I am not fluent. This year I plan to work at least two hours a week on the Irish language not inclusive of the hours spent in school. I plan   to study online using Irish poems and stories, take references from my Irish textbook, apply the Irish terms onto common objects in my home and purchase some books in Irish. Duolingo will be used for this language!.

Japanese- I know nothing out of the context of this language so far!. I have yet to even begin studying it!!. However I hope to embark out of 2021 knowing the basics of this language and have a clear history of the Japanese culture. I plan to use Duolingo and other platforms on the internet to learn Japanese ( YouTube too!). I also plan to listen to audio of the language of Japanese and purchase some books. I plan to watch Japanese television shows and listen to audio books. I plan to purchase a Japanese dictionary online and have it delivered to my home so I can observe the language in immense detail. I will attempt to learn five new phrases a day and if I progress decently on that activity, I will buckle it up to ten. 

Italian- I do not know much if not any Italian. However, I would like to learn this language. I plot to speak Italian for twenty minutes a week and do Duolingo and Mondly online. I wish to purchase some books written in the language and read those. To improve my sense of audio and listening skills in the broad/vast concept, I will listen to audio books and watch Italian television shows, listening attentively all the while. I may or may not purchase an Italian learning guide additionally.

French- Last year I began to use Duolingo (a language learning website/app) to study French. I loved the website!. It was so thrilling and I knew that the French language was one I needed to learn!. Then in late September I joined my schools French class. I had no friends in that class, however it allowed me to concentrate. I got a French textbook when I joined so I study the subject from that currently too!. Seeing as I would like to extend my French vocabulary and already possess/contain a textbook with the basics inside, I will purchase one or two books written in French. This will allow me to learn how to read French!. I additionally with listen attentively to audio online and plot to have a look at that textbook!.

English- Obviously I am fluent in English as it is my first language, however in order to extend my English vocabulary I will read and listen to boks/audio books. Additionally I may or may not be getting a kindle for my birthday, so that's to look forward to!.

2021- Peace After The War?.

 2020 personally was a highly odd year for me. There was immense quantity of crazy things going on!. However 2021 seems to have it in the mix for me. And I can't wait to tell you why!!. 

Firstly, I plan to publish my first ever novel before the end of May this year!!!. I won't hazard a spoiler, albeit it's going to be great!!!. Oh, do you know any decent publishing company's?, I am based in Ireland if required. Anyways, this has been a goal i have wanted to achieve for some time now, well ever since March in 2020 at least!.

Another tremendous/significant change for me will be my reading. I plan to read three books per week this year  (2021). Alas, my grades will rise hopefully. I am top of my class in each subject I am proud to proclaim, yet I possess/contain a cunning desire to get higher grades as I crave an understanding for accomplishment. 

Andddddd a holiday!. Yes, the devil of 2020 has had a silver lining for me!. You see, my family and I had set a trip to a holiday park in Holland/The Netherlands, but alas it got post-ponded due to Covid-19, thus to 2021!. This may sound crazy, albeit the cunning fact that I  appreciate the vacation way more currently as said fact. The water park is called duinreel and I am positive/certain that you have heard of it as it has the biggest waterslides in Holland!. It also looks awesome and I adore/admire the tikki pool!.

    Anyways, i'll see you all at the next blog post!.

                                                                                                     - Kayla

Body percussion from Music Generation

The above video inclusive of this blog post is an example of 'body percusssion'. 

 Hello everyone!. Welcome to or back to Kayla's Blog. Today I would like to discuss a great experience I have had a few weeks ago. Can you recall the three program?, well there may have been a forth addition!. You see, a woman from Music Generation came to our pastoral care lesson four weeks ago. She said we would be participating in a body percussion lesson. To start we all went around the room and did what I quite frankly thought to be an introduction activity. We all said our names one at a time and everyone would repeat that persons name whilst clapping. (Example: Student: "Milo", everyone: clap "Milo" clap). Then we did something called ' pass the beat around the room'. You would get a certain word-some people were rests!- and would clap with a speedy tempo to said word. Later we had lots of fun with cups singing Christmas songs!!.

I enjoyed the body percussion!.
