Our New Song

Thanks for all the suggestions for songs. I have decided on Junathan's nomination of "Invincible" because it is catchy, funky, has boy and girl parts and most importantly the lyrics are appropriate. I have shared the lyrics on a google doc with you, so have fun and start learning and choreographing.

Our inspiration:
Room 16's Stereo Hearts

U Can't Touch This

Mr M

Bang the Drum!

Jake, Dylan, Katie and Shannon share some learning from their music elective.

Loyal

Jake and Jimmy created this video using the song from our literacy starter and our ultimate All Blacks. We sang along in front of it at assembly today. Go the All Blacks!

Pluto Rap

Our Homey Solar System

Click on the link if you want to hear Puffy Snouts rap about the solar system. The website also has information on the solar system, that you can link to at the end of the song.

Papaki Mai O Matimati

Watch and listen to Room 18 sing a waiata at camp (even though I played the wrong track).

Mr M :)

I Believe I Can Fly

We used the lyrics of R. Kelly's 'I Believe I Can Fly' as the text for our literacy starter. It was nice to have Room 19 in the class. They helped us to make connections and visualise. We used these strategies to help us identify the writer's purpose.

Play the video if you want to sing along!

Mr M :)

PS22 Chorus

On my favourites is a link to the PS22 Chorus. Do check out their amzing blog and their versions of all sorts of songs. They are from a school in New York. Here are three of my favourite PS22 songs:

Lisztomania




Round and Round




Just Dance

WALT play guitar

Annie and Shannon took some extra photos to show us some chords and created an entertaining photostory about their old Teach a Talent!

WALT play the guitar!

A big thank you to Shannon and Annie who were our wonderful Teach a Talent teachers today! They played us songs that they had been learning on the guitar. Then they helped children in the class learn where to place their fingers to play chords. Bravo!

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Kids 4 Kids

Something I was pleased with was...

I was pleased with the soloists because they sang brilliantly and they remembered the songs off by heart.

I really enjoyed learning about...

The kids from Cambodia because I didn't realize how lucky I am. (From watching the the video.)

Something I found hard was...

I found the actions hard to do because there was not much room.

Something that made me think was...

I think Suzanne Prentice is a very nice person singing for people in Cambodia and acting funny in front of six hundred and something people.
