Writing About the Happier Music Video

Today we had to write about what happens in the happier music video, we had to choose if we wanted to be dog or the girl. I chose to be the girl and this is what I came up with writing about this topic.

My writing:

On my 10th birthday I wasn't having a perfect day, I don't know why but I wasn't. What made my day worse was, when I was blowing out my candles someone else in my family blew them out before I got to. That made me really upset and one single tear dripped down my face but no one saw it. When I wiped away my tear without anyone looking my dad gave me 2 yellow bows, I didn't know why he gave me 2 until this happened. My dad got me the fluffiest golden retriever and that made my day and I was so happy my dad got it for me. A few minutes later my dad took a picture of me holding my puppy that I named Lilly.

Ever since I got Lily I did everything with her, even when my parents checked how tall I was I always checked how tall Lilly was as well. I was basically inseparable from Lilly. I was with Lilly always except from when I was at school. A few years after I got Lilly I was at school doing PE we were playing football. The teachers chose some captions and the captions picked kids to go on their team. No one wanted to pick me and I was last to go on a team, also the class was taking a photo at the end. I was at the front and another girl pushed me to the back because she wanted to be at the front. The teacher told she class to smile and we all did, I was the only one with braces so when I smiled all the girls saw me they all laughed.

After school I was so sad after what happened at PE and I just slumped on the couch about to cry. But before I was about to cry Lilly was knocking on the door and she wanted to come in. She always made me happy but I didn't think she would this time, but she did. I don't know why but Lilly always makes me feel better every time I feel sad.

A year went by I was just coming home from school, I got changed and went down to play with Lilly. But when I got down to see Lilly she was laying on the floor and she looked so so sick. We rushed Lilly to the vet hoping we would get good news. But when the vet came and told us the news I just started crying so much because Lilly had to get put down. I've had her for so long and I didn't want to say goodbye. I was allowed to have 5 minutes with her until she had to go. I was rubbing her favourite spot until she had to go. After 5 minutes past I was just crying when the vet took her away.

Fast forward twenty years, and my daughter is having her birthday party. She was turning 10 years old and her 10th birthday felt so similar to mine. She even felt the same way that I did on my 10th and she got a box from my dad. It had a red bow in it, it looked so similar to the yellow bow I got. Then I thought what if my dad got her a golden retriever puppy. My dad came back with a puppy that looked so much like Lilly a tear just came down my face. I wiped it away and luckily no one saw it, when I wiped it away. After that my dad took a photo and put it next to my 10 year old picture.

An hour ago he was singing loudly.

An hour ago he was singing loudly in the shower with his voice.

It wasn't that fun but it was ok.

PE Week 10 / First Week of PE

This week we started PE and we had a few goals to try and achieve by the end of PE.

Goals:
Show commitment to everything we do.
Look at the history of games.
Showing teamwork and teaching skills.
Reflect on our learning.

Also we played a game called bench ball, we were in small teams and play against different teams. Th\e rules were one person had to stand on a bench and everyone had to try and get the ball back to the person on the bench. But you can't move or hit the ball out of someones hand. There were 8 teams and after every round we just rotated. I was in the light blue team, there was just loads of different colour teams, plus 2 teams with no colour just our uniform. My team was pretty good but we didn't win every time. We versed 5-6 teams I think and we won our last game.

A photo from our game:

It was pretty fun.

Music Week 10 / First Week of Music

This week we started music, because before we did drama and science. But now we do music sand PE, we do PE on Tuesdays and Friday and music Mondays and Thursdays. Anyways we had to think of some ideas to do for these questions.

What types music? What types are there? I thought of pop, country, bands, happy songs, sad songs. That's some of the things I wrote down.

Where can we find / hear / experience music? I thought of concerts, shows or just on the radio , or on a device.

What type of music do you like to make or listen to? I like to listen to pop I don't know why but I just do.

What do you want to learn about / do in music Hurumanu? I think it would be to learn and instrument or write a song. Right now I don't know.

That's all the ideas I have for these questions. The 2 class also thought of more ideas but I don't know what everyone's idea was.

Community Impact Projects Week 10 / Last Week

This week was the last week of CIP and we had to try and finish our projects. My groups project was a mural of a kiwi and it has a background of a forest. We just had to do the pretty big background and stick the rubbish on the kiwi. We came back after kiwi can then we started CIP for the day. Another teacher told my class what we were doing. The people doing the sculpture went in J2 and the people doing the mural went in J3. I was doing the mural so I went in J3 and carried on what I was doing last week for CIP.

After we went to our groups and sat down listening to the teacher like the group was doing and started working with my group. I was working on the grass for a bit. After that I worked on hot gluing pieces to the cardboard around the kiwi and making it the forest background that my group was thinking of.

About 30 mins or more after we started it was morning tea.

After morning tea some people had to go some other places, so the people that were still in class in my group worked on the background and did more hot gluing. When we finished most of the gluing I went to the art room to get more paint brushes. When I got back from getting the paint brushes there were not much left for me to do apart from letting the painting and tidying up with the rest of the group.

That's basically all that happened on the last week of CIP.
