Conservation Week Poetry

Te Maunga

I wake up in the morning to hear the song of Te Moana singing, 

Gently, waves whisper with a tune,  

trees dress me, 

Trampers tickle me and make me pleasantly warm.

I see beautiful sights, 

palm trees dancing the hula,

 clouds doing their hair, birds collecting kai.

I smell the fragrance of churning soil as mountain pigs look for food,

 a whiff of freshly cut grass goes up my nose and makes me high, 

I feel the community's love when tamariki planting  new life on me.

Simple Machines

This week we have been learning about simple machines. We learnt that there are six
different simple machines called a pulley, inclined plane, wheel and axle, screw, lever and a
wedge.We did a poster all around it and we also colored it in.We also had to design a playground with

every obstacle is a type of simple machine . I had no idea what a simple machine was before
we learnt about this topic. I found difficulty remembering all the special qualities that fit under
every section.

Song Lyrics -SSR

Song Lyrics - Locate and read the lyrics from at least three songs of your choice.
Write a paragraph about your favourite lyrics.

This week I read a couple of song lyrics by one of my favorite songwriters and singers. His name is lewis Capaldi and he's from the United kingdom. I listened to ; “Grace”, “Hold me while you wait” and “One.” These are only a couple of my favorite songs of his. I like his music because He writes his songs himself and from experience. His songs almost sound sad but they are about things close to him. They are catchy and good songs to sing along to. My favorite lyric was in the song “One” when he made some alliteration, He said, “You broke your heart down with ease , Now I'm picking up every piece ,You must be so hard to please.” I like his voice and recommended listening to his music!
