Red Hill Mining Town
U2
From Father to Son
The blood runs thin
Our faces frozen (still) against the wind
The seam is split
The coal face cracked
The lines are long
And there’s no going back
Through hands of steel
And a heart of stone
Our labour day has come and gone
And you leave us holding on
In Red Hill Town
As the lights go down
I’m hanging on
You’re all that’s left to hold on to
I’m holding on
You’re all that’s left to hold on to
The glass is cut
The bottle run dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night
We’re wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
You I can’t live without
Because you keep me holding on
In Red Hill Town as the lights go down
I’m hanging on
You’re all that’s left to hold on to
I’m holding on
You’re all that’s left to hold on to
And we scorch the earth
Set fire to the sky
Stoop so low to reach so high
A link is lost
The chain undone
Now we wait all day
For the night to come
And it comes
And it comes
Like a hunter (child)
I’m hanging on
You’re all that’s left to hold on to
I’m holding on
You’re all that’s left to hold on to
We see love slowly stripped away
Our love, has seen a better day
I’m hanging on
You’re all that’s left to hold on to
I’m holding on
You’re all that’s left to hold on to
See the lights go down on Red Hill Town
See lights go down on Red Hill Town

welcome back
I hope that everyone had a nice spring break. Monday always seems to come too fast for me! So today you are going to be doing a couple of things on your blogs:
1) Make a new post that describes your spring break in 3 to 4 sentences. Then I want you to tell me what you are most looking forward to in regards to the rest of the school year (besides the end of it; we all look forward to summer!)
2) Make sure that you are caught up on your blog, check my other posts to ensure you have everything done. I'm going to be checking during class today.
3) Do a google image search to find some pictures of cartoons that you may like to draw and paint. We are going to be doing a grid art project on cartoons, so I want you to find a few that you like. Copy and paste them into a publisher document and save them there. You will need to get approval from me about which one you are going to do, I would rather we all do something different. If you don't want to draw a cartoon and you would prefer to draw an animal or something, let me know and we can figure it out. THESE WILL NOT BE YOUR CEILING TILES, just practice for them. Once you have approval, make a box(in an even amount of centimeters) around your picture and print two copies. Give one copy to me please.

welcome to the world of blogging!
Hello everybody!
Your first task is of course to set up your blog. You should edit your profile, adjust the colour or layout of your blog, and write down your blog address and password on the sheet of paper that is coming around and then do your first post. I will take you through step by step in how to set it up. Once the sheet with the addresses has been passed around, we will create a link list (in the add a gadget tool) that includes all of blog addresses of the class. This is important because you will need to leave comments on the posts of other students later on.
Please leave a comment on my blog (this post) to let me know that you have set everything up.
Your first post will be to answer the following question:
If you could design the perfect room in your house, what would you do? Include descriptions of colours, layout, technology, and interesting features that would make it perfect for you and what you like to do. Money is not an object, the only limit is your imagination.
