Beatlemania

Yellow submarine

In this song their talking about them sailing in a yellow submarine in the sea together, and how their free and able to do what they want.

It's different from the 1940's because the in 1940's they were soft singers and sang jazz kinds of stuff and the beatles sing rock 'n' roll, Jazz and rock 'n' roll are completely different things jazz is soft flowing music and rock 'n' roll is like your wanting to get up and move.

Here are the lyrics.

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

(Full speed ahead Mr. Parker, full speed ahead
Full speed ahead it is, Sergeant
Action station, action station
Aye, aye, sir, fire
Captain, captain)

As we live a life of ease
Everyone of us has all we need (has all we need)
Sky of blue (sky of blue) and sea of green (and sea of green)
In our yellow submarine (in our yellow, submarine, ha ha)

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

Music Through Time - slavery

 In 1860 African girls, boys, men and women were taken and used as slaves in america and the only way they were able to escape or communicate was by singing. They used singing at all kinds of things such as funerals, weddings (if they were aloud one) and they also used them for escape plans and they sang to keep them self's company while they were working for hours in a day, some of them ended up getting out from a women.

The women was Harriet Tubman, She is also known as Moses she is most famous for helping thousands of people get out of the slave states in america. She helped them escape with these underground railroads, She made all kinds of pathways to get them in the other parts of america, they sung one of these songs.

The song was 'wade in the water', this song is about Africans jumping in the water to get there scent off so that the guards or guard dogs couldn't smell them out so they can escape, I think that was an awesome way to get out of that place because it is smart and it also saves them.

It is still important today because family's still get affected from them knowing it was there familys and ancestors that had to go through that and many musicians today still protest this just like the Black Live Matter Movement because these are all important things for everyone

The black death-Social Studies

 Fleas and rats spread the black death. Firstly the rat had the black plague because they got bitten by the Fleas because the fleas vomited inside the rat and then the flea bit humans and then it vomited the blood inside you to create the black death. This shows how easy it is to spread the black death throughout Europe. Once humans caught the black death they showed a series of symptoms.

Social Studies- Hygiene

I learned that chamber pots were the only thing that people could poo and wee in. 

Social Studies- The black death

What was life like in the middle ages? Interestingly, it depends if you are poor or rich. For example rich people got nice things and poor people got nothing. The rich and poor had rats and poo and rubbish in their house. It was disgusting in the middle ages because of the black death and everything that was lying on the ground, no one wanted to live in the middle ages because of all the disgusting things that were there. Itś one of the reasons why the black death spread through Europe.
