Hi Mason,
ReplyDeleteRuby here from the Summer Learning Journey!
Great work! I would like to hear some more of your own thoughts about the song though. What do you like about the tune, I wonder?
Do you know what the rest of the words mean? It's great that you have told us the meaning of Hareruia but it would also be great if we could know some more of what the song is about. I think it's important to like the meaning of the song as well as the tune!
I look forward to reading more of your blog over the summer.
Cheers,
Ruby.
