Song writing

In music, we have to write a song about whatever we want to be about. We have to have a meaning of the song and make sure that people can understand the song. We also have to have a chorus, first verse, metaphors, second verse and bridge. 

Here is my song:

The story about this song is when I found out that my grandfather and when I saw him after he died and how it affected me from the situation.

With the metaphors and the similes, the meaning of them was how hard it was for me when I had to realise that he was gone and how hard it was for me and my family.

This work was really hard cause I had to think of words that would make sense or how it was related to the song. I also had to think of how my feelings could be in the song.

Involvement in sport

This week in our P.E Hurumanu we have been… 

• (What) Bench ball and kick a long ball
• Where In the gym
• (Why) To work on our teamwork and involvement in the games

S - Statement

E - Explanation
E - Example

Statement

Our first activity kick long ball For this activity, I rated my self as a 4 because I was cheering my teammates when they got the goal but if they didn't I said good try. I was involved in the game even though I didn't want to and if I didn't get it I was resilient and tried again.

Explanation

To achieve level 4 we have to show that we can consistently be a leader by making contributes to the team, also to make sure you involve other people and encourage them in a positive way.

Example

During the first game of kick long ball, I showed that I am working at level 3 by being positive to my team and encouraging them if they didn't believe in themselves. These examples show that I have met the standard for level 3.

Statement

Our second activity was bench ball. For this activity, I rated my self as a 4 because I was a leader to the team, I had made sure everyone was okay with what they were doing. When I was on the bench or not I still encourage my team. When they were struggling I told them the technique on how to get the ball of the other team.

Explanation

To achieve level 4 we have to show that we can consistently have a positive attitude to the team by always encouraging them when they gave up and always cheer them on.

Example

During the game of bench ball, I showed that I am working at level 4 by being a leader and having a positive attitude. These examples show that I have met the standard for level 4. 

Next week I am aiming to work at level 4. To make sure that I am working that level I am going to work on always having a good attitude and helping my team by being a little more patient.

Making connections

This term in reading we are learning how to make a connection to the story. Making a connection is when you are connecting to the story/text. I can explain what makes a connection with three parts.

1. Text to self

This is when we connect the text/story to your own experiences. For example " This part makes me feel when I lost that necklace my nan gave me. I know what it feels like when you lose something precious."

What the reader is doing is they are relating to the story on how they felt when they had lost something.

2. Text to world

This is when we connect what we are reading to things that that really happen in the outside world. For example " The boy in this story is running for school president. He is promising to organize lots of fun activities for students at lunchtime. This reminds of how politicians try to influence people to vote for them."

What the reader is doing is reading the text and then relating it to what happens in real life. 

3. Text to text
  Text to text is when we compare the text we are reading to other similar text. These texts could be books or visuals texts such as a movie or a tv programme. For example "This character reminds me of Harry Potter. They are both boys who were orphans and got brought up by an aunt and uncle who were mean to them."

What the reader is doing is they are reading the text and then relating it to a character from a movie that they had watched.

This can help you more about how to know more about

making connections:

Ki O Rahi

In pe, we had to research about ki o Rahi and then put it on any presentation site to put the research we had found. This slide is also for you to help how to play it and the equipment you need. Also the history of the sport/game.

Music through the decades

The Hurumanu we had to do a slide of the music through the decades so like the famous singer, famous clothing and famous song. So here is the slide that I had made with my group.
