Room 8 Music Video - Today we are going round New Zealand.

The students and I had a blast writing this new song to Brono Mars, Lazy Song.

We wrote new lyrics and then created this music video.

Even the students who didn't star in the video itself took on their own roles and responsibilities in - Research and editing, creating props and camera.

Hope you enjoy watching. Mrs Rhodes
