SLJ - Week 4 day 4 - (1,2 and Bonus Activity)

Day 4: Contemporary Entertainment

Activity 1: Moana

In late 2016, the movie Moana was released by Disney.

It’s a beautiful story about a young Polynesian girl from

the fictional island of Motunui, who goes on a big adventure.

Watch the trailer for Moana and then write a summary of

the movie on your blog. If you’ve seen the movie, you can

include your favourite part! Tell us as much as you can about

the movie. What is it about? Who are the main characters in the

movie? What do they do in the movie? Where do they go?

Moana is a movie adventure movies which I like. It started off

when they were low on food and also the environment was fading

away. So moana try to leave but always getting caught by his dad.

The dad will not allow anyone to leave the island because

it is very dangerous in the outer world. Moana’s grandma

always encourage her to go and save the world from Te Ka.

But one day the grandma was very ill. She told Moana to

go and save the world but you have to find Maui first, so

Moana got her things and ran to the boat she quickly left.

While she was talking to hei hei she got pushed by a wave to

an Island which apparently, that was were maui lives. So both

went to battle Te Fiti and restore the heart of Moana.

I’ve watched this movie a lot of times so i'm going to tell you

my favourite part of the movie. My favourite part of the movie is

when Moana restores the heart of Te Fiti and also the reaction

when Maui got his hook back which Te Fiti fixed.

Activity 2: Country Calendar

Did you know that the longest running television show

in New Zealand history is a programme called

‘Country Calendar’? It started on 6 March 1966 and

has been running ever since. The programme includes

stories of everyday New Zealanders, many of whom are farmers.

Watch this short clip from Country Calendar. What do you

think would be the most interesting and/or challenging things

about being a farmer?

Interesting thing was how they keep there promise from a

long time ago saying that they will plant tomatoes, peas and

more. After a decade or two there were all these plants and

vegetables planted. Also it is amazing that the show has been

going on for 52 yrs now. That really is a very long time.

Challenging thing is shaving the sheep's wool, planting

plants and vegetable and also waking up early in the

morning just to do all these stuff. Also waking up early

to work at the animals

Would you would like to be a farmer when you are older.

Why/why not? Give us, at least, two reasons to support your answer.

I do not want to be a farmer although it sounds a lot of fun,

3 reasons I do not want to be a farmer:

1. Because I cannot wake up early everyday

2. I know that it is very hard

3. I don’t do well with animals

Bonus Activity: Singing a Different Tune

A number of New Zealand (NZ) singers and songwriters have

recently burst onto the music scene, becoming popular both in

NZ and overseas. One of these artists, Lorde, is gaining a lot of

recognition for her unique style and songwriting ability. People

all over the world seem to really like the lyrics (words) that she

writes in her songs.

Think of your favourite song. Share the name of the song, the name

of the person who wrote the song and the lyrics from the song

on your blog. You must type the lyrics not cut and paste them

in order to earn full points for the activity.

My favourite song is “Here to stay” from “General Fiyah.”

Lyrics:

(Here's another one)

Come on

I'm here to stay baby

For me there's no mucking around

I do this purely for music

Never for the money of fame

I’m blessed with this music

It's my one heart desire

Surely music takes me higher

To a place i’ve never been before

(General Fiyah, watch it man)

I mess around come quick nobody tell me what they think

Now don’t ever forget why we do this music

Not for the popularity, money other things

Yo purley cause we have the passion for the music

The drum and bass makes you move your waist

Meanwhile this reggae music take you to a higher place

Come and dance up and down

Come and do the rubber duck

Come join the fun there's from for everyone

No room for hate leave your trouble at the gates

General fiyah on the rhythm, THD got you moving

I'm here to stay baby

For me there's no mucking around

I do this purely for music

Never for the money of fame

I’m blessed with this music

It's my one heart desire

Surely music takes me higher

To a place i’ve never been before  x2

(General fiyah, Watch it man)

I mess around come quick nobody tell me what they think

Now don’t ever forget why we do this music

Not for the popularity, money other things

Yo purley cause we have the passion for the music

The drum and bass makes you move your waist

Meanwhile this reggae music take you to a higher place

Come and dance up and down

Come and do the rubber duck

Come join the fun there's from for everyone

No room for hate leave your trouble at the gates

General fiyah on the rhythm, THD got you moving.

(That's ALL)
