Summer Learning Journey Week 3 Day 3 Activity 1

Activity 1: Ready to Roll
In the 1970s one of the most common television programmes was called ‘Ready to Roll.’ It was broadcast on Saturday afternoons and hosted by a man named Roger Gascoigne. During the show, Roger would introduce music videos and then play them for the TV audience. He also invited famous people to come onto the show and perform songs that were currently popular.  

Watch the following three clips that were shown on the Ready to Roll programme:


When you have finished, rank the clips in order from your most favourite (#1) to your least favourite (#3). Post your rankings on your blog.


  1. Ray Columbus and the Invaders 
  2. New Zealand Underdogs
  3. Golden Harvest

Hi Sarah
Awesome work!! Why did you rate them like this??

Hey Sarah,

Thank you for organising your ranking into a bullet pointed list, as a reader I am appreciative of how easy it was to read! I’m sure you know why you ordered them this way, perhaps you could provide us with a little bit of insight about your thoughts. Why did you think Ray Columbus the best? Was it the lyrics? Maybe the the melody? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

My favourite of the three, was Ray Columbus and the Invaders, because the song ‘She’s a Mod’ is such a catchy kiwi classic. Golden Harvest is a close second because I enjoyed the upbeat tempo and energy, which leaves the New Zealand Underdogs in third place only because I didn’t feel for the mood of the song..

Looking forward to your reply!

Toe feiloa’i fo’i,

Cia.
