"Will.I.Am Visits Pt England School." (That Power Justin Bieber ft Will.I.Am)

A heap of cameras surrounded our school hall while we were all waiting for the amazing, world-wide rapper, WILL.I.AM!! Yip, the actual one! We were all determined to see him. Henry and I warmed up our voices in preparation. We are singing to him, Yay!

Everyone in the school hall silenced in agitation. Will.I.Am walked through the ‘entry’ door and we were all “WOWED!” By his amazing look.

Will.I.Am talked about his life and how he was raised in a very poor neighbour-hood. We were inspired by his speech about “Living The Dream!” Thank God he was here with us to share some of the amazing experience of what he did to become famous. Look at him now. We were also thankful because........................... He donated $100,000!! To the Manaiakalani Education Trust. Mr Burt along with the other principals from the eastern zone schools were surprised with happiness.

I enjoyed having Will.I.Am at our school. ‘Well done Pt England for being representative role-models.”

Room 15 Task

Because of that, Miss King got us to write a simpler meaning of his new song with Justin Bieber, ‘That Power.’

I compared the meanings of ‘That Power’ to his poor life and living. In between the song, he says, “I use to have a piggy bank, but now I have a bigger bank.” This is what got me thinking. When he was poor and had needed, he saved his money in a piggy bank for food and safe furniture. But now since he is famous, he has a bigger courier and a bigger bank! Justin Bieber also says ‘I’m alive and I can fly.’

If you can’t quite get it, here is the link to his new latest song “That Power.”

"Marlin and Dory!" Speech Marks!

Marlin sat on a smooth rock feeling depressed. Gazing down into the dark and horrifying deep sea,  Dory confidently swam towards Marlin “Hey Mr Grumpy Gills. When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do?” She  asked him with an expressively happy voice. “I don’t want to know what you gotta do!” Marlin replied carelessly.  “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming,  just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim swim!”  Dory joyfully sang while he dragged Marlyn deeper into the sea. Deeper and deeper they went, the more angry Marlin got. “Dory, No singing.” Dory didn’t care as she ignored Marlin’s words.  “I love to swim. When you want to swim.” Her annoying and repeatedly song distracted Marlin, he has had enough of it, “See I'm gonna get stuck now with that song now it’s in my head!!” He angrily shouted. “Sorry.” Dory apologized.

(We are learning to put speech marks into paragraphs. For this task, we used this video of Marlin and Dory off "Finding Nemo" as an example for our speeches. Feel free to watch the video above and and leave a comment.)

'Pay Attention!'

During this week, our task was to create an inspirational and motivational song. Well we didn't actually do exact the right task but instead we made an animation and we also chose the song, 'Pay Attention.' By Sister Act 2. This video (above) is dedicated to those who are hiding their talent.
