Welcome to Room 5, 2015!

Welcome to Room 5, 2015 edition!

It's great to have you here.  There is going to be so much happening this year, December will be here before we know it.

The Room 5 blog is primarily used as a discussion forum for Room 5 students.  Regularly throughout the week, I'll post discussion points from something we have read or looked at in class.  As part of your home learning, you will check the blog daily and comment on any new discussion posts.  Please also reply to each others' responses - we could get some great debates going!

I look forward to interacting with you digitally through the blog this year :)

Christmas movies

What a fantastic job everyone has done putting together short Christmas movies.  The brief was to create a short film on the theme of Christmas with multiple camera angles and strong characters.  I reckon you've all succeeded brilliantly!  Merry Christmas one and all!

Life is a Highway

Life is a Highway (Balmoral Lyrics) – Tom Cochrane/Rascall Flats


Send Jo an email if you'd like access to the backing track and don't have it yet (all teachers have access)


Verse 1:
Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind

There's a world beyond every darkened door
With possibilities galore
Where the brave are free and thinkers soar
Come ride with us to the distant shore

We won't hesitate
To run through that open gate
There’s not much left of today, yeah

CHORUS:
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you’re going my way
I’m gonna drive it all life long

Verse 2:
Balmoral School is the best in town
It's in our blood, just look around
We thank you now and we’ll thank you again
Our parents, teachers and all of our friends

Arts and sport to those cold camp nights
Rich Task fun to tech highlights
Knock us down get back up again
We’re ready for what’s round that bend.

There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors

CHORUS:
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you’re going my way
I’m gonna drive it all life long

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you’re going my way
I’m gonna drive it all life long

Transition:
So many memories between you and I
Our future’s ahead of us and now
We look it in the eye

[Instrumental]

CHORUS:
Year 7s:
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
Year 8s:
If you’re going my way
I’m gonna drive it all life long

EVERYONE!:
Life is a highway
I wanna to ride it all night long
If you’re going my way
I’m gonna drive it all life long
