I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 9 and in 2021 I will be a year 10. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.
The song refers to Vietnam and how many Americans felt that they should stop the fighting and just leave.
Jhon Lennon thought that war is not worth the lives that are being wasted on a battlefield. And If people were to give peace a chance, maybe things wouldn't be so brutal and chaotic and all people can live in happiness and love, as equals. Everyone deserves a chance. To sum up, John Lennon is stating that war is only creating harm, and if we give peace a chance it will become a better solution.
1 - Add 20mL of sulfuric Acid to a 100mL beaker. Heat the acid until it reaches 70degrees, then turn off the bunsen burner.
2 - Once heated, use a spatula to add pea-sized portions of copper oxide to the beaker. Stir the mixture for 30 seconds.
3 - Repeat step 2 until no more will dissolve, then allow the beaker to cool.
4 - Fold the filter paper and place it into the funnel. Place the filter funnel into the second beaker.
5 - Make sure the beaker is cool enough to hold at the top. The contents should still be hot.
6 - Gently swirl the contents of the beaker to mix, and then pour into the filter paper in the funnel. allow the liquid to filter through.
7 - Rinse the beaker you used to heat the mixture previously, and place it back on top of your tripod filled with 50-60mL of water.
8 - Place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker and carefully pour some of the solutions from the beaker into the evaporating basin.
9 - Gently heat the beaker until the solution in the evaporating basin has reduced by half.
10 - Leave the evaporating basin to cool. Once cool, move the evaporating basin to a warm place where it will not be disturbed (i.e. a window sill) And observe over the next few days. Blue copper sulfate crystals should form.
RESULTS -
CONCLUSION/OBSERVATIONS -
Our crystals turned out better than the others as they formed in small shards of around 1cm made of small strands of crystal, this made them very fragile. They were a quite pale blue but it was still very visibly blue. I think that the reason ours turned out better than the others was because our bunsen burner was old and the flame would go out if we put it on full heat so we heated up our solution on a lower heat meaning our crystals grew slower but larger.
Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window
Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie
Writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby
Died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie
Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?
What meaning is behind this song?
Thye song Eleanor Rigby tells the story of two lonely people, at first we meet a churchgoing lady who goes by the name of Eleanor Rigby. The second verse introduces us to the pastor, Father McKenzie, whose sermons "no one will hear," this could mean that nobody comes to his church or that his sermons aren't getting through the congregation on a spiritual level. In the third verse, Eleanor dies in the church, and Father McKenzie is the one to bury her. Paul McCartney got the name "Eleanor" from actress Eleanor Bron, and the last name"Rigby" came to him when he was in Bristol, England, and spotted a store: Rigby and Evens Ltd Wine and Spirit Shippers. He liked the name "Eleanor Rigby" because it sounded natural and matched the rhythm.
How is this song different from songs in the 1940s?
Even though you may not have been closely associated with the military, this song is one that is easily recognizable for its somewhat haunting, poignant notes, played by a single bugler. This distinctive tune is played on the 25th of April, the day we dedicate to remembering those who fought for our freedom and the world we live in today. Usually, the last post is played during Anzac ceremonies and then is followed by 2 minutes of silence.
Why is this song significant/important to New Zealand?
This song is significant to New Zealand as it represents the names, the faces, the memories of those who were sent off to serve their country, we use this song to remember, honor, and mourn all of those who we lost while fighting during those treacherous wars.
What is the History behind the Last post?
The last post has come to carry such a powerful meaning and it's hard to think that it was not originally used for memorials and remembrance. The last post was first played in the 1790s and was only one of the many bugle calls that the British army played. In the army, the bugle calls were used to help soldiers keep track of time, for example, the unique calls would indicate when the soldiers should partake in military training or meal times. When the Last Post was played it signaled that the officers had completed their sentry-post inspection, Hence called "The Last Post" simply because it was played to signal that the last of these posts had been inspected by the officers.
During this term in music, we have been tasked with a group performance! I and Tennessee pared up and decided on looking at the blues/jazz genre and we found the song "Fly Me to the moon" Performed by Frank Sinatra, and written by Bart Howard and we thought it would be perfect! I and Tennessee are both piano players so we would be doing a piano duet, with me playing the bass and Tennessee playing the treble. I think this is going to be a real challenge as I have never done a piano duet before so this is going to be interesting... . The song "Fly Me to the moon" was all about falling in love with someone and wanting them both to fall deeply in love with each other. We are starting off by learning and mastering the first few lines of the piece, but if we get the time we will probably learn another section.
My friend, my friend, you've taken this the wrong way,
Rise up, defend yourself, never give in,
Look to the sky, the spirit of Te Whiti,
The endless tide is murmuring his name.
I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,
And even at the darkest hour,
His presence will remain.
I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.
Te Whiti he used the language of the spirit,
Then stood accused, the madman and his dream,
He saw the train go roaring through the tunnel,
He heard the voice travel on the magic wire,
But he loved the silence of the river,
He watched the dog piss on the cannon's wheel.
I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,
And even at the darkest hour,
His presence will remain.
I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.
One day you'll know the truth,
They can't pull out the roots,
Come and take me home,
To weep for my lost brother.
They gather still, the clouds of Taranaki,
His children's children wearing the white plume,
So take me for the sins of these sad islands,
The wave still breaks on the rock of Rouhotu.
And when you taste the salt that's on your pudding,
And when you taste the sugar in your soup,
Think of Te Whiti, he'll never be defeated,
Even at the darkest hour,
His presence will remain,
I'll sing for you the song of Parihaka,
Come to Parihaka,
Weep for my lost brother,
The spirit of nonviolence,
Has come to fill the silence, Come to Parihaka.
What was the main message of this song and what lines explain their passive resistance method?
The main message of this song is to look up to what happened in parahaka and use that as an example of how we should fight for land and rights, and overall telling people that what happened in parihaka should be praised and looked up upon. And that the story of parihaka will remain and the stories of the brave leaders and civilians will live on, to this day followers still represent their leaders by wearing the feathers from the prophecy that two birds would come to the mountain and would come to lead them.
What does ‘you can’t pull out the roots’ refer to in the song?
In this song, you cant pull out the roots refers to the British not being able to rip their culture and heritage from their land. And you can never forget the stories and myths and legacy that the land holds for those people. There's also another meaning saying that they can't pull up the soil that they had planted and grown food on and ultimately made their own.
Give evidence of their determination? and how does this song show the significance of Parihaka?
"Events conspire to bring us to our knees,
My friend, my friend, you've taken this the wrong way,
Rise up, defend yourself, never give in,
Look to the sky, the spirit of Te Whiti,
The endless tide is murmuring his name. "
This section of the song shows how the British were wanting to break them down and steal their land and culture but, the song was saying to never give up, and fight for what you believe, but fight in a way that won't lead to violence and harm.
"Think of Te Whiti, he'll never be defeated,
Even at the darkest hour,
His presence will remain."
This shows the significance of what happened in parihaka and how the leaders who led the revolution will never be defeated or forgotten and he will live on forever, through stories and culture.
