We had a dictation about our Summer Reading : Kensuke's Kingdom and

ALWAYS REMEMBER:

We have also worked with verb tenses. Let's practise them!


We began to write in our diaries where we make 3 entries per week.

The children designed great posters telling us about their wonderful families, their hobbies and interests, their best friends and their pets. We had a great time sharing all the pictures and stories about themselves. 



Congratulations for your posters 5th! You were very creative!


We practised singing Sweet child of mine and discussed about the meaning of the song. Here are the lyrics for you to practise and a link where you can see Axel Rose singing.

Sweet Child O' Mine



She's got a smile it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine
Oh,
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Oh, oh
Where do we go?
Oh,
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?

Oh, (sweet child)
Where do we go now?
Oh,
Where do we go now?
Oh,
Where do we go?
Oh,
Where do we go now?
Oh,
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Oh,
Where do we go now?
No, no, no, no, no, no
Sweet child,
Sweet child of mine.





Great song!!! Enjoy it!
