My Netbook Reflection For 2013

The Bush

Feeling excited and prepared to go for a long walk into the bushes made my day. So first we made our lunch and our drinks, Then the teaches got all the kids together and done a head count just in case someone was missing. Once everyone was there we got into two lines. Everyone was feeling confident and brave because for some of us it was our first time going for a bush walk.

As we got into the bushes the leaves were slowly falling off the trees , hearing crunching noises from all the footsteps of dried leaves sounded awesome .We were all walking into two straight lines through the bush there was a teacher in front of the line, in the middle and at the back. We were showing people how we respect the environment around us. As people were coming towards us we made way even those the bush was quite small.

We were following the principle no one had no idea we were going so she walked the wrong way, but eventually someone told her.She said don’t be silly we looked at the closes sign and it said we were going to the creek.Every one was like the creek.

No way! we replied

So we turned around and we made sure we followed the sign all the way to the waterfall. It took us about twenty minutes to get there , once we finally got there we sat anywhere we liked so I sat in front of the waterfall. I was skimming rocks across the water. It was so beautiful and everyone enjoyed their day.

Lean On Me

Lean On Me

WALT use our analysing skills.

Success Criteria:

I can...

Part of the song	What is the main idea(s) in this part of the song?	Give an example from the text that supports this idea.	Give another example from the text that supports this idea.	Express your viewpoint by synthesising what you have analysed. -Do you agree with this part of the song? Why/why not?
Verse 1	The main idea in verse 1 is that we all have pain and sorrow	“If we were wise”	“Theres always tomorrow”	Yes. We agree with this part of the song because some people focus on vanity and on each others physical appearance instead of reality.
Chorus	One of the main message I found in this lyric is when you’re down theres is always someone there to help you	“Lean on me when your not strong ill be your friend”	“It won’t be long till ill need someone to lean on”	I agree with what this verse is trying to tell me because no matter what your going through you’ll always have that someone to help pull you through
Verse 2	One of the main points is helping and being thoughtful	“So just call on me brother hey, when you need a hand”	“we all need somebody to lean on, lean on me”	I agree with the main points in this verse because no matter how hard something is you can always take risks with those who are willing to make them with you.
Verse 3	Main point is being courage and having faith	“Call me when you need a friend”	“Call me, call me”	I agree because some ones always there when you need them you just don’t have to be shy to ask
Verse 4	The main point in be verse 4 is don’t be shy	“Lean on me”	“We all need somebody to lean on”	I agree with this because everyday you will get through this, tomorrows new day and there is still people being ashamed of themselves for who they've become

My Speeach

           Kirk Franklin

“Smile it’s the key that fits the lock on every ones heart”

I'm grateful for this opportunity to say my speech

to you all.Today I will be talking about peace and

happiness.Happiness is when someone smiles its

like freedom.Peace isn't about fighting its a state

or period in which there is no war or a war is ended.

Smile when you're down. This song I choose includes

peace and happiness.What I will be talking about is

“Smile” By Kirk Franklin

This song reminds me of my friends and family,

It opens the lock for freedom and it even reminds

me to smile through tough times or when I’m sad.

Having a problem though life is tough but I have

families and friends that can help me.

This is one of my favourite songs It always reminds

me to smile every day most times I smile with

happiness because I see my family and friends when

I barely see them. This is an entertaining song it gets

the audience attention and maybe they replay it a lot

of times.

“Peace” Peace reminds people to smile when they're

down. Don’t make war with each other make friendship

and aroha with friends and family. When the power of

love overcomes the love of power the world will finally

know peace. Peace is like friendship ,  friendship is

like peace. It’s like they have the same meaning.

Harmony is the same as peace , everyone in the world wants

peace. I know everyone has war everyday,even myself have

wars with others. but why does everyone have to hate? Is it

hard to love? people should not make war anymore, and no

more hatred? Let’s make the world a peaceful place.

High Tide

High Tide

Skimming the rocks along the water

standing beside you ,

seeing the sand oozing between our toes

giggling and laughing as we stand still to strike a pose,

When the tide is in ,

It rushes against the rocks with anger

higher and higher it travels ,

wiping the sand out

now  it’s under the water,

low low low.

The water has vanished,

 our footprints lying on the wet sand

leaving the ocean,

lonely and sad.
