Get A Haircut and Get a Real Job

On the last day of Term 2 we made a video of "Get a Haircut and Get a Real Job". We studied the song and learned the words for homework. We found out that George Thorogood did a thoroughly good job at his song and we acted it out for your viewing pleasure.

This youtube link shows you the edited version.


BELOW is a few clips.


I was a rebel from the day I left school...






The vids are our first takes and we are learning to do our own videoing and own editing this term.  In Week 4 of this term we are doing a whole week of contemporary music research, acting and singing.

I'd sit and listen to my records all day - Brianna

With big ambitions of where i could play - Girls



My parents taught me what life was about - TJ

And i should get a haircut and get a real job Danielle Tayla Mirei



Get a haircut and get a real job - Boys

Clean your act up and don't be a slob

Why don't you get a haircut and get a real job



I even tried that 9 to 5 scene - Fraser

I told myself that it was all a bad dream - Fraser Jesse

I found a band and some good songs to play - Braeden Liam Jake

And now I party all night, I sleep all day - Shumirai, Abi, Danielle



I met this chick she was my No.1 fan - Cullen Abi

They took one look at me and said ("oh my god") - Katelyn Braeden

Get a haircut and get a real job



Get a haircut and get a real job Boys

Welcome to Room 2 Isleworth School

Monday 19 July 2010.
Room 2 is Awesome! We have 22 brilliant students (in so many different ways they are brill!) that began their Term 3 Journey today. We are challenging ourselves to be self managing, reliable, high functioning learners.

This Blog is all about us, by us, for us, but also for our parents and caregivers so they can see what we get up to in our classroom. Please make comments or share your ideas about what you see. We would love to hear from you.

Is our learning like yours is/was? Our Inquiry this year is "Windows on the Past... Doors to the Future." In all we do this year, we will consider how have things changed over time, and how will our knowledge of the past help us to make our futures bright and successful.

Our focus this term is also on FUN, EXCITING and COOL learning.... Today we were cool to start with because we sat outside for an hour learning about the cold.... Brrrr!!!
