What we did in Hur6...

So in Power To The People, we have been trying to make our own political party and try to create a difference in our society within our classes.  I will be keeping you updated with our progression in this class.  So here is my first recording of what I have done today:

Today we have confirmed who is in our group.  In my group, I have Megan, Sofia, Kalea and I.  We are going to create more solutions for us to help the community the best way possible.  We have successfully elected Sofia as our leader.  Because we feel as a group that she has way better potential than all of us in making a persuasive speech. We have come up with the logo, and are now trying to find a catchy slogan.

What are your top 3 strengths?

These are my top 3 strengths...

Gratitude

To show gratitude is to be grateful for the little things in life that others may look down on(e.g Clothes, shoes).  I expected that I would get Gratitude as my no. 1 strength.  I expected it because my parents had taught me to.  Every time I get money or any sort of currency from my parents I always say “Thank you” to them because I do not get money often.  It is important to have because it builds on your character and what you will be known as.

• Bravery

I like getting into the prickly zone… which means that I get out of my comfort zone and try something new.  I did not expect this because I normally like doing the same things, but when I try something new I normally enjoy it.  Last term I had performed as one of the main boys in Kapa Haka, I was unsure of my decision but was happy that it was my choice.  This is an important characteristic to have in life because it gets you to try and do new things that you may enjoy more.

• Creativity

I find inspiration from others and create my own unique ideas from it.  I did not expect this because I initially thought that my mind isn’t that great.    Creativity is an important skill to have because it can give you more than one possible outcome from a problem.

Barrack Obama Poster

So I have been working on creating a poster for Barrack Obama.  Trying to write some cool and unusual facts about him.  The poster that I am presenting to you is likely to possess some information that you may have not known about...  Anyways here it is:

Genre Research

Kia Ora and welcome to my blog, I will be showing the research that I have been doing for the past couple weeks.  We had to look and understand a certain genre and then present it to the classroom.  In our case we did R&B.  Here is my work:

My Reflection on Music

Kia Ora and welcome to my blog, today I will be giving you my reflection on Music. I will be answering a few questions, sum up, what I had done.

What instrument did you choose and why?
I had chosen the piano,  I chose it because I was always fascinated by how to play the piano.  Also, most of my favourite music can also be played on a piano.

What song did you choose to learn and why?
In my case, I learnt how to play Married Life of the movie Up.  I chose this iconic song because you can play it fast which makes the music sound happy or play it slow and change the whole mood of the song to a sad version.

What was challenging with this piece and why?
For me, the challenging part was getting the left hand down for the backup music.  I was always used to doing everything with my right hand that when I had started to use my left hand I started to struggle.

Were you happy with the final recording/performance? Why?
I was exhausted by in the end I got the result that I am proud and happy with.  Now I can show off my skills on any piano I use/play with.

What could you change about your performance if you could do it again?
I would change the speed,  I would do the whole beat a little bit faster but I found it a little to complex for me.  I did the slow part of the song at the best of my ability.

Were you happy with your overall grade?
I personally think that I did a little bit better.  But it is alright due to the fact that could have added more.  I will try and learn what I have done wrong.  Although I can get some things better I can learn from it and do better.

Have you enjoyed your music semester?
I have had a blast,  being able to work with an amazing teacher who supported me and helped me understand piece by piece how to play the piano.  Also, the classmates who were always stunned by how I progressed.  I am very thankful for the opportunity to work with a Keyboard/Piano and hopefully, I can do it again next year.

Timeline of Martin Luther King Jr

For Social Studies we had to find and understand a Martin Luther King Jr life.  Although I didn't write all about him I pointed out some key facts about his life.  Martin Luther King will forever be known as a man who had a great fight for Civil Rights.  Thank You here is my Timeline...

Types of governments

For the past 2 - 3 weeks my group and I have been working on trying to understand each government type.  Here is a basic presentation that shows what I have worked on and what I have understood.  In this presentation, you will be looking at different countries that have each Government type, Pros and cons for each Government and lastly different leaders for each government.  Here are my presentations/my work:
