Day 3: Groovy Man (The 1970’s)
Activity 1: Ready to Roll 
In the 1970s one of the most common television programmes was called ‘Ready to Roll.’ It was broadcast on Saturday afternoons and hosted by a man named Roger Gascoigne. During the show, Roger would introduce music videos and then play them for the TV audience. He also invited famous people to come onto the show and perform songs that were currently popular.
Watch the following three clips that were shown on the Ready to Roll programme:
When you have finished, rank the clips in order from your most favourite (#1) to your least favourite (#3). Post your rankings on your blog.
#1 - Golden Harvest
#2 - New Zealand Underdogs.
#3 - Ray Columbus and the Invaders
I ranked it like this because the Golden harvest has a alright tune to it. It would be better if it was a instrumental. The Second one is alright because it's catchy to me but not that much. The last one I just hate it because it has no rhythm to it's beat or tune.

Activity 2: Bell Bottom Pants
Fashion in the 1970s was quite unique. Take a look at the pictures of a ‘typical’ 1970s outfit and tell us, on your blog, two things that you like about 1970s fashion and two things that you don’t like about the fashion of the day. I am not a huge fan of the patterned pants. What about you?
2 things that I like from the 1970's clothes.
1.I like the shirts that the guys are wearing they look alright.

2 Reason why I don't like the clothes from then.

Bonus Activity: A Bilingual Schooling System
For much of the past century, schools in New Zealand taught students in only one language – English. In 1972, Ngā Tamatoa member, Mrs. Hana Jackson, submitted a petition to Parliament to ask the government to include the teaching of Te Reo Māori (the Māori language) and Māori culture in New Zealand schools. We still use petitions to this day when we want an organisation (e.g. a school) to make a change.
Think about your school. What is one thing that you would like change. Would you like to learn about different things? Maybe you think school should only be open 3 days a week?
On your blog, write a letter to your principal to try and convince him/her to make the change. Ensure that your letter is polite and respectful.
BONUS POINTS: 18
Dear Mr Coakley,
Can you change the school rule of having hats because it costs allot of money and some children don't have the money and when I look at them under the shade it just sad because break time is when you have fun with friends and go crazy hard as.
