Harrison is magical..

I agree Lauren, Harrison Hot springs is a magical place - my first time staying there last summer too!

My magical moment was when I went to Harrison Hot Springs last year in the summer. My family and I went to Harrison Hot Springs for 4 days, and it was the first time I had ever stayed in a hotel. I was really excited to swim in the outdoor and indoor pools and look at the nature. In my opinion, Harrison Hot Springs is a good place to go on vacation. It was a very nice experience, and I hope that I can go again this year.

Zach's Slam Poet Performance Response

Zach's slam poet performance was really unique and interesting for me. I'm personally not a great fan of poetry and can never understand their meanings. However, Zach's performance really caught my attention and I overall enjoyed it very much. It was really cool to see someone say their poem as if were a speech with rhythm. I think the way he adjusted his volume and body movements really made people want to listen more carefully. I liked how he added little humorous stories in between his poems and explained about each poem. He was also making eye contact with us the majority of the time which made the audience feel connected to him as if he were talking to us individually. My personal favorite poem that he wrote was the one about his mother. Even though I didn't quite understand every word he was saying, I just felt like that was the most emotional one out of all the poems he performed. Seeing Zach perform slam poetry was a very fun experience and I got a chance to learn new things from the performance. I hope to see more slam poets in the future someday.

Thank You Zach for you performance, it was absolutely wonderful to watch!

Things that are or should be obsolete in school

A blogger has recently come up with a list of 14 obsolete things in 21st century schools.the blogger doesn't want to make the current system better he wants to change it. Some the things on his list are no wifi in schools, banning phones and tablets, starting school to early, and unhealthy cafeteria food. These are only some of the obsolete things. I agree with most things on this list.

I absolutely agree with most of the things that he put on the list. One of the things I agree with is school starting to early. I agree with this because if school started later I think kids would be more awake and energized to work and learn.When school starts to early kids can be tired and not want to do work. Another thing I agree with is not banning phones. Phones aren't just used for texting and calling they can be used for so many things.for example if you need an answer or if you are not sure what a word means you can search it up. You can do so many productive things with a phone or tablet to help you. You can do many things with technology teachers should be embracing it.

Fraser heights is a modernized school for lots of reasons. Our school has wifi and teachers let us use our phones and electronic devices for educational purposes. We have a twitter so people can know whats going on in school. Fraser heights is teaching us new ways to learn with devices to for future uses.

Does Kindness and Music Make a Difference?

In today's society, most songs romanticize drugs, alcohol, swearing, and other things along those lines. Another thing that happens in today's society is that people isolate themselves from the world to listen to music, and they could be listening to any type of music, from a different language such as K-Pop (Korean Pop) to heavy metal music. A lot of songs are about either wanting love or not wanting love and wanting money and such instead.

Kindness and music can definitely affect a person's personality, and the thoughts in their head. If for example, somebody was listening to happy and bubbly music, they would also feel happy and bubbly, however, if they were to listen to screamo, rap, or heavy metal, they would feel things like anger.

I believe that these songs are ones that will make you happy, followed by reason why I think that:

1. Pharrell Williams - Happy
This song is in general a very upbeat, happy song that just makes you want to dance. The song gives off a very good vibe that you can't help but tap your foot to. Also, the song name has happy in it, so you know it will make you feel happy.

2. American Authors - Best Day of My Life
A song like this deserves to be on this list because it is a very happy song that makes you smile and think about all the positive things from your day.

3. Imagine Dragons - On Top of the World
This song is just so upbeat and positive that you will feel a lot better after you switch from listening to rap songs, to this song. It make you feel like you're on top of the world because you are so happy.

4. Little Mix - Change Your Life
Change Your Life makes you feel happy to be you, and Little Mix is telling the people that are listening that you should change your life to learn to be happy with yourself, and thatès what really makes you feel good.

5. Christina Grimmie - Feelin' Good
Christina Grimmie is a really positive person with good vibes, so this song just makes you "feel good" and appreciate everything.

Hanna Kim C.E Kind Music

Music is a beautiful feeling that touches your heart like no other feelings. The majority of the people nowadays are listening to music all the time through the radio, Mp3 players, phones, and tons of other electronics. It's almost as if people can't survive without music. The types of music people listen to depends on your taste which can vary? From rap to country, there are so many different genres. It seems however that songs these days being produced have very little meaning to it and contain very explicit language, violence, and sexuality. If music is something we listen to in our daily lives, it would definitely affect the way we think and feel. Listening to harsh music can make you feel depressed, violent, and even rebellious. However if you start intending to types of music that make you feel happy and let's you see the brighter side of the world, you will start thinking more positively and happily in general. Some very positive songs that you should check out are
