What have you learned about the video? What I learned about the video is that the earth is dying, the ice is melting, the sea level is rising and there are more factories that are releasing carbon dioxide into the air. We need to work together with us humans to rebuild our planet by reducing plastic waste and making new reusable products.
Some example that I could do to reduce pollution are:
Riding a bike or walking instead of driving.
Taking a bus or carpooling.
Buying a car that has greater fuel efficiency.
Turning off lights and appliances when they are not in use.
Using energy-efficient light bulbs and appliances.
Buying fewer things that are manufactured using fossil fuels.
What has the video encouraged you to think about? The video had encouraged me to think that if all the whales have died, then the ocean will die. If the ocean dies, that means we will also die because almost all the oxygen that we get in the world is from the ocean.
What do you think? What I think about the video is that we need to start changing plastic to something we can reuse. Because more and more every day the ocean gets plastic and marine life thinks that it’s food for them. But they are actually plastic that will kill them.
What can be done to reduce what goes in the red bin? The things that we can do to reduce what goes in the red bin is that we should use more reusable things.
This week in social study our task was to blog about 1 of the Anti-Vietnam war song. We have to select a song that we need to research. We then need to write about the song and put some description onto it. We have to explain what was the message of the song that was written.
Title of the song: Give Peace a Chance by John Lennon
What was the song about? The meaning of the song was to stop the war and have peace. John Lennon who was once a Beatle member wrote this song because he wanted the world to hear that we don't need war, all we need is peace and love. He has created this song because the world need to stop fighting and give peace a chance. The way John Lennon and and Ono's way to protesting is by staying in bed to promote peace by staying in bed.
Perspectives Of The Beatles Tour
Perspective 1- For Tour:
My perspective about the people who are for the tour is that they are mostly teenagers who are obsessed with the Beatles. They probably like the Beatles because their song relates to everything in the world like relationships and other more things. Not like the song in their past generation they only talk about things like animal or plants. A batch of a teenage girl like the Beatles song because they can most relate to the song that the Beatles make.
Perspective 2 - Against Tour
In my opinion, the people who are against the Beatles don't like their song, or maybe they don't like the Beatles because of their kids getting obsessed with them. Some New Zealanders who were against the Beatles thought that it was based on religious, traditional views who saw the Beatles leading youth to sin and troublemaking. A bunch of people who are against the tour are mostly parents, they didn't like the song because it talks about relationships and things, unlike their past melody it just talks about animal or plants.
Title of the songs: Let it be
What was the song about: Let it be was the Beatles last album, it was an appropriate song that leaves problems and moving in life. The album that they had made was supposed to send an entirely different message. The titles supposed to have been "Get Back" and they were going to record it in front of an audience on live TV, with another TV special showing them practising the songs in the studio. Let it be was a message from her mother that said let it be. John Lenon wanted to make the groups back but suddenly he had a dream about his mother saying just "Let it be".
How different does it sound to music from 1940? The Beatles sound different to 1940's songs because Beatle create a song that reflects on things that relate to us. The group Beatles has a different style from any other band at the time. Beatles worked in many different genres of music. The group started rooted in Skiffle and 1950's rock and roll, and later on the year it has expands into pop ballads, psychedelic rock and also having some classical influences in their songs.
Today in social study our task was to listen to the video that was called the ANZAC DAY 2019- GALLIPOLI DAWN SERVICE. Once we have finished watching it we now need to answer the 4 questions down below.
When do you hear this song? We hear this song during the ANZAC day dorm service and it can also be played at a soldier funeral. The lone notes are played by a military bugler trumpeting the notes of the song of the lost, the fallen, the dead.
Why is this song significant/important to New Zealand? This song is important to remember what they have done for us in New Zealand. The Last post is significant to New Zealand because it remembers those who have served in the war.
What is the History behind the Last post- why was it played and when? The history behind The Last Post is to tell other soldiers that their activity is than. However, that was used ages ago today this is a song to represent those soldiers who have to serve and fall in the war. This song is played every year on the day of April 25.
What does this song represent? The song is to remember the soldier who has fought and serve in the war. The Last Post is played to mourn the dead, to honour those lost in wars, skirmishes, and battles both near to home and in far-flung locales. If you have heard its soft, melancholy, and mournful notes, it is a familiar to tune — most familiar to those who have served their country.
Music Through Time
This week for Social Study, Our task was to find a song and explain how they had a hidden message to help the slave free. A long long time ago when the slave was still going they used the song to communicate with each other, but also the song that they're singing can't understand the European.
The song helps the slave to give them hope and uplift themself. Songs are also used for church, funerals and other things like a wedding. Sometimes the way slave relay secret message to help them scape is by also singing a song.
Who is Harriet Tubman?
Harriet Tubman was a girl who escapes slavery and helped thousand of slave escape. She did that by leading them to the Underground Railroad. She was born in Dorchester County, Maryland, United States and died on the 10th of March 1913.
Slavery ended in April 1865 when the slave said they need to end this slavery. The civil war started and killed a bunch of slaves, but in the end, they have ended slavery.
This song has a lot of meaning to it, for example, God's gonna trouble the water. That means when they go in the water all the smells that they have will be gone so the dogs and other Europeans cant smell them if they're scaping.
How is the event still significant today?
From my perspective the event is still significant today because rasism is still in this world. Some people doesen't care others so what they do is say other words to them or be rasis. I think we can stop rasism if we try to take care of each other because our world need peace.
