Music

Music can be really stress relieving and can help release internal mental pain, it can help you improve you communication because you are constantly hearing words and hearing new words also. I listen to music to make me happy when i'm in a bad mood because it can make me in a better mood.

My thoughts on music so far

In music so far I have been ... Learning the ukulele and Summer and I have been learning how to play Riptide by Vance Joy and we have nailed the intro, verse and chorus but the thing we need to learn is a bit in the sing and it is finger picking. We have been focusing on different practices like distributed practice, fixed practice and massed practice.

- One thing I haven't enjoyed is the Chromebook work but we have to do it but to be honest I would rather not do it but I have to.

- One thing I have enjoyed is just sitting down doing our own thing and practising the ukulele.

- One thing I would like to work on is remembering to bring my pick and mu ukulele and to also to try and learn a certain part of the song and its really hard.

My argument for the holly-ford road

My argument on the Hollyford road

To be honest, I think putting a road from Haast to Milford sound would be extremely convenient as it would allow truck drivers, busy people, and tourist to get to milford sound quicker rather than having to drive from haast to queenstown then to milford sound. At the moment from haast to milford sound it takes 6 hrs and 21 mins but if the road was there it would only take 1 hr and 30 mins just imagine the new and beautiful sights you would see it would be amazing. Hopefully I have convinced you that building the road would be convenient for not only you but for everyone thanks.  

Tess rainbow warrior bombing argument

In 1984 the French blew up the new Zealand rainbow warrior boat on the Auckland port because the new Zealand rainbow warrior was getting ready to go to france to protest because New Zealand didn’t agree with the french nuclear bomb testing. At night while crew members were in the boat, a french “secret agent’’ swam under the boat and stuck a bomb onto the boat waiting for it to blow up so the rainbow warrior couldn't go to france. When the bomb blew up one man got killed some climbed up onto the top of the roof and the rest jumped onto the wharf. 1 year later the french gave New Zealand 13 million dollars and then the two men that stuck the bomb on the boat got 10 years in prison for manslaughter.  

1981 springbok tour

What I couldn’t understand is why the South Africans couldn’t just accept that they weren't the only dark people in the world. The country was divided into 2 when there was a huge conflict over South Africa telling New Zealand that the “people of colour” that was in the all blacks couldn't play the rugby and had to be “benched” because the Africans were very racist but to be honest they could have just sat out because then there would not have been a huge conflict and separation over the whole country and also people paid for food, drinks, tickets, their families tickets, signs and clothes and then people started throwing smoke bombs fireballs why couldn't people just watch the rugby in peace.

what I think of the business sessions

This week Malia and I have been talking about the business we are making. We will be selling ripped jeans, slime, body scrubs, chokers, candles and lots more but we haven't sorted out everything yet the name of our website, youtube channel and Instagram-page is called wanderlustt. I think that this business thing we are doing is a great idea, it's fun and a really good way to earn extra pocket money and I think it will be fun!!
