Go Green!

As part of the 'Challenge to Change' project our class composed, learned off my heart and performed a 'Go Green' rap.

 

It took us a few weeks to perfect but in the end it sounded great. The Green School Committee performed it at the 'Challenge to Change' exhibition in Kilkenny on the 30th of April.

 

Amy ans Ayomikun represented our class, and then told the rest of us all about it the next day in school.

 

Here are the words to our rap.

 

Go Green!

A rap about global warming by 4^th class, Scoil Mhuire

Chorus

It's time to make a change,

To stand up and fight,

Against global warming,

So shout with all your might,
'It's time to go green, to keep our planet clean!'

'It's time to go green, GO GREEN, GO GREEN!’

Verse 1

Hey listen up people,

We’re here to tell you how,

Our world is in danger, and we need to act now.

This is our planet, so let’s keep it clean, like we said before it’s time to go green!

There’s this thing called global warming, and its isn’t very cool,

Lots of greenhouse gases, that are trapping too much heat,

If it keeps getting hotter maybe the world will  fry ------like a piece of meat!

We may sound dramatic but there really are some problems,

If we all work together in no time we can solve ‘em!

Cause Climate change is bad,

It’s changing the seas,

The water is rising, and the animals are not pleased.

The ice is melting, as its getting warmer every year,

Without the Arctic ice, polar bears will fear.

As the water rises, it will take over the land,

And then the sea turtles can’t lay their eggs on sand.

Chorus

Verse 2

You see crea----tures under the sea need cold water just like you and me,

Co---ral, krill, polar bears and seals,

If only they could speak, they would tell us how they feel!

They’d say they feel bad,

 That they have no homes,

So it’s time to help them now, they can’t fight alone!

So what can you do?

Well let’s start at home,

Make sure you recycle,

And dust off the bicycle!

When not in use turn the power off.

Hey you know, you’ll also save on costs.

Try to walk to school.

The golden boot’s cool.

And leave that car at home,

Hey there’s no need to moan!

Exer---cise it not just good for you,

Wait and see It’ll help the world too!

So we hope you’ve been listening,

To what we’re tryna  say,

Without a bit of effort

Climate change is here to stay!

So if you are with us,

Sing this nice and loud,

Scoil Mhuire, lets sing it proud!

‘It’s time to go green, to keep our planet clean, it’s time to go green go green go green!’
