Bars & Melody (B.A.M) - Hopeful and The Dam Keeper

As promised, here you have the song (and lyrics) we listened today!


 

Bars & Melody (B.A.M) - Hopeful Lyrics

Oh-oh-oh
Check it out
Oh, no
Here we go

Please help me God, I feel so alone
I'm just a kid, how can I take it on my own?
I've cried too many tears, yeah, writing this song
Trying to fit in. Where do I belong?
I wake up every day, don't wanna leave my home
My mamma's askin' me why I'm always alone
Too scared to say, too scared to holler
I'm walking to school with sweat around my collar
I'm just a kid, I don't want no stress
My nerves are bad, my life's a mess
The names you call me, they hurt real bad
I want to tell my Mom
She's havin' trouble with my Dad
I feel so trapped, there's nowhere to turn
Come to school
Don't wanna fight I wanna learn
So please mister Bully
Tell me what I've done
You know I have no Dad
I'm livin' with my Mom

Just be hopeful, yes, I am
Hopeful for today
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful
And He'll make a way
I know it ain't easy but that's okay
Just be hopeful

Why do you trip every single day?
I didn't ask to be born but now I have to pay

I ain't got no money, you take all I have
When I give it to you, I search through my bags
I feel so scared when you shut me down
You kick me, punch me, throw me to the ground
When I ask you, yo, what have I done?
You hit me again, and make fun of my Mom!

I'm hopeful, yes, I am
Hopeful for today
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful
And He'll make a way
I know it ain't easy, but that's okay
Just be hopeful

What I wear is all I have
We lost our home, I'm livin' from a bag
Yo mister Bully, help me please
I'm flesh and blood, accept me please
Hey mister Bully, I don't know what to do
My mind, it can't explain what I did to you
Mister Bully, take in all my please
Every single day you bring me to my knees

Hopeful, yes, I am
Hopeful for today
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful
And He'll make a way
I know it ain't easy, but, that's okay
Just be hopeful.



Here you also have a short animated movie about bullying - The Dam Keeper. 

"A young pig with an important job, and a new friend who changes everything. In a desolate future, one small town has survived because of a large windmill dam that acts as a fan to keep out pollution. The dam's operator, Pig, works tirelessly to keep the sails spinning and protect the town, despite abuse from classmates and an indifferent public. When a new student joins Pig's class, nothing will be the same again."

#antibullyingweek2015

Antybullying Week is an annual event in many English speaking countries in the third week of November (this year its 16th-20th of November) which aims to raise awarness of bullying, help to prevent it and to respond to it in the best way possible. We, Gaudemies, also wanted to participate and we talked about bullying in our That's English classes.

Below you will find the presentation we saw in class, this years UK #antibullyingweek2015 promo video and the interactive video where you can pick up an option of behalf of the victim, bully or friends. Feel free to vary your options each time you watch this video. 

And remeber, this week we are going to work on antybullying poem, skit and poster. Enjoy your week! 
 

POPPY DAY

Today we learnt about an important day in Britain (and many other English speaking countries: USA, New Zealand...) - a Poppy Day (Remembrance Day). We celebrate it on the 11th of November each year and we remember those who fought  in wars. We watched the story about a poppy and we made a poppy wreath (!!!pronounced: /riːθ//!!!) for our classroom. 

If you want to find out more information about a poppy - watch an interview with Poppy Scotland! Enjoy ;)
