Melville Intermediate - Coltons Science Technology Recount

I was in science, the teacher was Mrs Taylor.  We were learning about the human body.  First we learnt about the bones and the skeleton of the human body.  The next day we learnt about the human heart.  We tried to find out our pulse on our wrist and see how many times our heart beats in a minute.

We started running around getting out hearts pumping.  We checked our pulse again and our hearts were beating much faster.  My average heart beats 46 times a minute but after running around for thirty seconds it was beating 73 times a minute.

We learnt more about the human body and skeleton.  Mrs Taylor passed around some cow bones.  It was the bones of a cows shoulder, shoulder blade and thigh bone.

Report by Colton, Room One, guesting in Room Five for today.

Melville Intermediate - Hotiki Waiata

The chords for Hotiki are D B G and A.
The words of Hotiki are below in Maori (in Black) and a translation in English (in Red)

Hotiki hotiki
Let him tie his own shoes

Kia tika ka uru, ka puta nga puare
Let the open choices be choosen

Ka taea kumea ki a tika
He is almost there

E kore E taka kore rawa e
So now he can do it himself.

This video was filmed by Terrina from Room Eight. Originally Ashton from Room 1 who is playing guitar, was going to read out the chords at the end of the song. However you can see Ora taking a piece of paper and ripping it in half during the song, this is the paper that Ashton had the chords on!
