Job interview

Today Our class interviewed Jarred (AKA my dad) about his jobs. I even learnt some new things even though he was my dad. Some of the things I learnt were that he worked as a cameraman for the Air Force and that he worked in Electronet for 10 years! The most interesting thing was how he worked for a Kids TV show called Bumble And Friends. his job was to blink the eyes of the fish!

Fairtrade rap

Fairtrade poem

This term our topic has been FIX-IT. We have been learning about child labour and what we can to to help stop it. This is when we found out about Fairtrade. Fairtrade is a company that will only purchase things that are not made by kids in child labour and they give the people who made it a fair pride for their produce. This is not all they do but this is what we focused on most in class. By buying their products you support Fairtrade and cast a vote for the kind of world you want to live in. So in class we cut up Fairtrade coffee bean sacks from a Fairtrade cafe and wrote a poem or a rap about child labour on it with Indian ink using cotton buds. The process was really long, especially since I had a really long rap. I enjoyes printing my rap on the sack, it was something I hadn't done before.

Here is a picture of my rap hung up on the wall.


In case you can't read from the picture here is the rap in text format.

Fairtrade: by Zak

As I walk through the field were I harvest my grain

I take a look at my life and realise it’s very plain

But that's just perfect for a child like me

You know we shant fancy things like lots of salary

At 10:30 in the morning I’m eating brunch

We get a tiny slice of bread but we get no lunch

AHHHH

But I’ve been hungry and starving so long

That even my boss thinks that my stomach is gone

I’m a poor little boy I’m too disciplined

Iv’e got a sack in my hand and ohh i’m so thin

And if I don’t do all my chores and I don’t to them right

Then tonight i’m gonna be tortured like it’s 1699


I was inspired for this rap from Weird Al's remix titled Armish Paradise.

Rain poem

rain

It’s raining it’s pouring

Not a single man is snoring

Moving cows

To higher ground

When they get up in the morning



When they get out of their bed

they have to protect their head

From the heavy drops

And the enlarged plops

all the falling water


As puddles form on the ground

Caretakers start to frown

The lawns are getting soggy

And really quite boggy

Everyone wanting it to cease

This wet and sobbing soggy beast.
