"What I have learnt about composing techniques"

Over the past few weeks of term three, in our music class, we have been composing songs. We already composed music about advertising a product, Christmas song, and also a romance song for film music. Honestly, composing a song and music is hard. You need to be creative and really understand what you are writing. One of the techniques I have learned about composing a song/music is rhyming. Rhyming the words is much easier for me to write a piece of a song. 

Here is a short piece of our composed Christmas song:

Verse 1:

Every hearts needs home at Christmas

Everyone deserves love at Christmas

So let the kindness live in us all

And then let everyone feed their souls

Chorus:

This is the time for loving

This is the time for giving

This is the time (2x)

All we need is sharing

To everyone needs caring

This is the time (2x)

"Summer Is The Best Season Of The Year"

"Summer is the best season of the year"

There are four seasons we know on Earth, the Summer, the Autumn, the Winter and the Spring. In summer, days are longer and nights are shorter. It is the hottest season among the four seasons. Summer is one of people’s favorite season because they can do whatever they want. They can make a lot of things to do in the summer. They could go to the beach to relax and be refreshed, could go for a long drive, could take a day for hiking or camping, make ice cream and more. In summer, they could also wear clothes that they can’t wear on other seasons.

"School Is The Best Place To Make Mistakes"

In my perspective, School is one of the place you can make mistakes. Other places could be at home or anywhere else. Making mistakes usually happens to a person and it could either start with you nor others. I guess making mistakes is optional, it is either people accidentally make mistakes or people choose to make mistakes even though they know how the result will be.

Is School the best place to make mistakes? Well I think it is best to make mistakes at school because you are able to learn and realize what you did wrong and the good thing is that someone will help you about it. For example, your mistake is that you had an attitude correcting the teacher. Then realize that they had many years of learning and knowledge behind their words and actions, and that knowledge is what drives them. What you can do to rectify this mistake is to apologize to the teacher and treat them politely and respectfully.

It is alright to make mistakes. It wouldn’t fail you to aim high and it will not stop you from pursuing your goals, nonetheless it will teach and guide you through it. Not only students make mistakes. Everyone in this world does because no one is perfect. So don’t be afraid to make mistakes as it will help you grow and be successful.

My Spiritual well-being / Taha Wairua

1. What I think about spiritual well-being before I started this unit was it's all about religion and beliefs.
2. After I've learnt what spiritual well-being is, it is all about your values, beliefs, goals, religion, dreams, self worth, traditions and who you are which means your identity.
3. Everyone does have different spiritual well-being because they have different beliefs in their own sense.
4. The area of spiritual well-being that I need to improve on are my goals because I want to be successful in the future and my self worth so that I won't be afraid to tell or share my thoughts or ideas anymore.
5. My goals about education is to finish school with high grades and go to university and my goal about life is to be a successful doctor.
