My song

During this term our topic is on music. we had to make our own song to o with either what we loved or whatever we wanted.. I chose my ex best friend. This song basically explains our friendship from the start to how it ended.I do miss her a lot but I don´t think we will be friends again. My lyrics are based on how i´m feeling. The title is called the past because well... Our friendship was in the past from now...? I hope you liked it, its a bit depressing but from now i´m going to try write music instead of taking my feeling out on other people.

Verse 1:

First time we met I didn’t know how to feel
You stole my friends and my heart began to melt

I hated you then and I thought I always would 

I wanted to tell you but I just never could.

Chorus

We had it good

it latest long it’s in the past. 

We had it good

That time is over, it’s in the past. 

But then ( yeah ) something changed inside me you were different and 

I started crying.

We started to have arguments. We started to fight.

You were my best friend.…I had your 

Back whenever yo needed it 

we stayed up all night talking nearly every night 

Chorus 

We had it good

it latest long it’s in the past. 

We had it good

That time is over, it’s in the past. 

Yeah it was in the past...Goodbye old friend

Making Connections to Prior Knowledge!

From This start of this week my reading group has been focusing on the facts of clowns. We got given a work sheet where we had to fill in a before ( What we already know about clowns ) and a during ( what we found out about clowns ) and After ( all together )... Now I will show you some examples of what i'm meaning. We have been taught the 3 way of thinking about this.

Text to self: Think about your own experience... This part make me think about the time i lost something special to me. I know what it feels like to lose something special.

Text to text: Text to text connections are we compare the text we are reading to similar texts. These texts could be a books or visual text such as a movie or tv program... This character remind me of harry potter. They were both boys who were orphans and got brought up my an aunt and uncle who were mean to them.

Text to world: This is when a connection what we are reading to thing that can or actually happen in the real world... The boy in this story is running to class president. He is promising to organise lots of fun activities for students at lunchtime. This reminds me of how politicians try to get people to vote for them. 

I hoped you learned something from this as I learned different types of ways to compare reading to things... Please give me feedback in the comments :)  

Ki-o-Rahi

The History of Ki-o-Rahi:

k-o-Rahi is a traditional pre-European Māori ball game. It is a fast running contact sport, played on a circular field, involving imaginative handling and swift inter passing of a "ki" (ball). Before the arrival of Europeans, Ki-o-Rahi was played by Māori throughout Aotearoa/New Zealand. Often different tribes would play different adaptations of the game.

A tribe which had especially strong and fit ball players among its members could sometimes be solicited for help by another tribe preparing for war. A messenger would present a "ki" or "poi" to the chief, which would represent an invitation to join the tribe in battle.

In my words: Where is a traditional  maori game that oher people can play and my reshearch is just basically explain what it is about..
