Noeramiah's Song Review


‘’Mean’’ is a well inspiring song well written by Taylor Swift. Her song ‘’Mean’’ won 2 grammy awards.

The message of this song is that to try and stand up to people, don’t become someone in the shadow of the walls. This inspires non-bullies that if you get bullied you will be different and maybe make a difference. An you might be a better version than before.

Taylor Swift can be an inspiration to other people because she made a HUGE achievements which included  7 grammy awards, 11 American music awards, 7 country music association awards and 6 Academy of country music awards.

Her experience to writing songs was from her as a teenager and a young adult.

I think that she could really improve on using some nicer words for the first verse because it might make people feel like that will happen to them and it will make the people who are already bullied sad.

But to put that in a nice way in the chorus it makes people feel like they will make a difference no matter what.

My personal opinion is that she writes fabulous songs because getting inspired from your childhood makes songs better.

Noeramiah's 5 minutes of Camp Recount.

Success Criteria:
  • Open with an interesting language feature
  • Organise our writing into a paragraph
  • Describe how you felt, what we saw, what we heard, what we smelled and what we tasted  
  • Link our paragraphs with connective words and phrases  
  • Included at least one question mark, one exclamation mark and one example of parenthesis.



Writing about just 5 minutes at camp.

PLAN -
  • First : Inside collecting our glow sticks and connectors in our teams.
  • Middle : Teachers guiding us to where the finish and the start is.
  • End : Racing to the finish.



‘’It’s finally time to play!’’ as I thought to myself...... Some teachers and parents wondered around, handing everybody a glow stick and a connector. 30 seconds later a parent placed half a handful of connectors on the table for our team group to collect. I grabbed one glow stick from her hand then some people followed. Then I got a connector from the table. Suddenly I waved the glow stick in the air, once I bent it and twisted it to make it glow.

Suddenly we heard an announcement about everybody going outside. Mrs Hamilton gave us instructions about how to whole game was going to work. She told everybody to follow her to the end of the game.  
Everyone catched up...... to end by following Mrs Hamilton. She lead us to a place that said ‘’Dead End’’ as a sign. Finally once we arrived to the end we all went to where ‘’Archery’’ takes place.

Finally the game started to begin, but first Mrs Hamilton still had to give us another set of instructions. Suddenly ‘’3, 2, 1 GO’’ shouted Mrs Hamilton. ‘’ZOOM’’ everybody raced, we had to be really careful because there was parents and teachers hiding everywhere.

I was wondering to myself ‘’Where are the SNEAKY teachers and parents were hiding?’’ It was kind of quiet like a little tiny mouse creeping up to gather some food.

The best hiding places was to hide in the shadows because it was dark. Many people had to be quiet because otherwise the teachers would find us.

‘’FLASH’’ a bright light shined at me and some other people.  We had to hand the parent our glow stick but not our connector, but it wasn’t over yet we had to go back at the start to replay the game. I tried and tried, but once I tried many places I knew where most parents and teachers are hiding.

They were hiding in the bushes, trees, in the gaps between the dorms, tight places (where some of us hid).  Lots of us knew where the teachers were because of the bright torches they were using. It flashed in lots of places so we would know where they are.

Thomas Alva Edison was a very remarkable old man. He was born on February 11, 1847 in Milan. Thomas Edison is an American Inventor. With the inventions he made, people all around the world loved his inventions. Some devices that he made was the phonograph (recorder), movie camera, carbon microphone, incandescent light bulb and some more other useful inventions.

Thomas Edison had grey/white hair like a rainy and a perfect white sunny cloud. He wore midnight black suits with a bow on the collar. When he walks he has a cain, he also hobbles and wobbles while he walks.

In his early life when he was 8 he went to a private school named Reverend G.B. Engle. He didn’t really manage to achieve that school that well, but when the teachers said that Edison was a slow child his Mum Nancy took him out of school and she taught him instead. With his Mum teaching him many things he didn’t know about, his mum Nancy was his greatest inspiration. He was mostly taught by his mother. When he was 13 he had a job as a newsboy, selling newspapers and candy on the local railroad. He spent most of his free time reading scientific, and technical books, and also had the opportunity at this time to learn how to operate a telegraph.

Edison’s greatest success was the advanced process he used in all of his inventions. He gave us a gift of his inventions that would be really useful for the future.

Thomas Edison is a really inspiring man with his knowledge and his inventions that he made. Without Thomas Edison’s inventions we wouldn’t have the great things that we have now.
