Happy Chinese New Year

Enjoy Sabine and Rachel's noun song again

The Poetry of Music - Thinking Ahead
One of next week's H/W tasks is to choose a song that has powerful 'poetic lyrics' - you are expected to do this task with a parent. It is due for the Thur 26th. You will need to bring the printed lyrics to the song to school. Discuss with a parent what you belive the message behind the lyrics are. (You will be writing a paragraph explaining your choice of song and why in class next Thursday) You DO NOT have to do this over the Chinese New Year - but  for some of you who are not traveling want to make a start on this.  - Your parents are allowed to HELP you choose an appropriate song.

You are welcome to sing the song you choose in class if you have a musical talent (or even if you don't!)

Here's the video from today's class to enjoy again... What message can you take from this poem?
