Tinie Tempah “ Written In The Stars” Slang task

 

Oh ,written in the stars
A million miles away
A message to the Main, ooooh
Seasons come and go
But I will never change
And I’m on my way...

Let's go…Yeah, you’re listening now.
They say they ain't heard nothing like this in a while, that's why they play my song on so many different dials 'cause I got more hits than a disciplined child.
So when they see me everybody brrrrrap’s, brrrrrraps, man, I’m like a young gun fully black Barrack, I cried tear drops over the massive attack
I only make hits like I work with a racket and bat.
Look at my jacket and hat, so damn berserk, so down to earth , I’m bringing gravity back.
Adopted by the major I want my family back.
People work hard just to get all their salary taxed
Look, I'm just a writer from the ghetto like Malory black, man.
Where the hell's all the sanity at? damn,
I used to be the kid that no one cared about
That's why you have to keep screaming 'til they hear you out!
 
Oh written in the stars...

Yeah, I needed a change, when we ate we never took because we needed the change...
I needed a break, for a sec I even gave up believing and praying.
I've even done the legal stuff and was leaded astray. They say that money is the root to the evillest ways.
But have you ever been so hungry that it keeps you awake? mate, now my hunger would leave them amazed.
Great, it feels like a long time coming, fam!
since the day I thought of that cunning plan.
One day I had a dream I tried to chase it,
but I wasn’t going nowhere, running, man!
I knew that maybe someday I would understand
Trying to turn a tenner to a hundred grand
Everyone's a kid that no-one cares about
You just have to keep screaming 'til they hear you out!

De què va tot aquest tinglado?

Els alumnes de 2n d'ESO han explorat el sonobe. Sonobe vol dir "peça" en japonès. Es tracta d'una tècnica d'origami amb la qual es poden fer moltes formes i volums a partir de mòduls de paper doblegats en forma de paral.lelogram (nosaltres els anomenen "pastilles Juanola").Com és una tasca prou elaborada, molts alumnes han decidit compartir el projecte i crear volums en equip.

D'ençà del terratrèmol, tsunami I posterior alarma de catàstrofe nuclear, el món està mirant i pensant en el Japó. Els alumnes de 2n d'ESO han agafat un símbol per reflexionar sobre el que succeeix al Japó. Hi ha una llegenda japonesa que diu que aquell que faci mil ocells de paper farà el seu somni realitat. Aplegar mil ocells d'origami s'han convertit en un símbol de pau i esperança arran de la història de la Sadako Sasaki (1943-1955), una nena que va desitjar curar-se de la leucèmia causada per la radiació de la bomba atòmica d'Hiroshima.

Bé, no n'hem fet mil, però encara falta la teva!

És molt fàcil, hi ha un tutorial a: http://vimeo.com/20957131

Enviarem les imatges d'aquest projecte a la Makiko Sese, una noia japonesa que viu a Madrid i que, donada la frustració que li produïa no poder ajudar a la seva gent, va proposar a tothom via Internet que l'enviéssim ocells de paper. Ella vol fer realitat el seu desig de recuperació del Japó. Nosaltres volem recolçar la seva iniciativa.

La Makiko té un blog a on compila les imatges d'ocells de paper i de la gent que els ha fet: http://las1000grullas.wordpress.com/ 

Aviat enviarem les nostres imatges.

Today, haikus!

Dear all,

I'm terribly sorry the holiday is over. But, hey, don't be so sad, we have a fun activity to do today.
Let's all explore the world of the haiku, and let's make it sweet. I have a little surprise, but I'll give you a hint: have a look at the picture above, can you guess what it is?

Also, let's watch this video: haikus can be fun!
Here you have some transcripts:

New year's day
every thing is in blossom
I feel about average...

The snow is melting
and the village is flooded
with children.

Goes out
comes back
the love life of my cat!

Mosquito at my ear
doesn't think
I'm deaf!

Under the evening moon
that snail
streaped to the waist.

Even with insects
some can sing
some can't.

The whole time a pray to Buddha
I keep on
killing mosquitos.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you are going to make :)
