 AND HERE YOU ARE A SONG TO LISTEN... BACK TO SCHOOL!    

HERE YOU ARE THE LYRICS:

Wake up children ,I think

I’ve got  something to say to you.

Well ... it is almost September

And I think you should be back at school.

But I know that you aren’t amused

And you may be a little confused

You have such a funny look... on your face

But you may be in shock

But it’s almost 7 o’clock

Your bus is coming soon...

Don’t be late.

I suppose you should collect your books

and get on back to school.

‘Cause I get no way

you’re gonna make a living at the swimming pool

No need to have a pannic attack

Everything you need is in your backpack

Doing nothing all summer

That’s nothing  you can add up

So before you go brain it

Get yourself out of that big

Back to school where learning can be fun.

OPEN UP YOUR EARS,

OPEN UP YOUR EYES!

LEARNING CAN BE FUN 

FOR THE ONE WHO TRIES:-)

PRIMARY 3.- IRELAND AND SAINT PATRICK'S DAY :-)

DIA DHUIT! HELLO!

YES! WE ARE REFERRING TO IRELAND, OR IN IRISH,  ÉIRE.

AND WE ARE ALSO REFERRING TO SAINT PATRICK'S DAY ON 17TH OF MARCH, AN ANNUAL FEAST DAY CELEBRATED IN IRELAND.

The story of St Patrick's Day
Began so long ago
The lyrics in this song
Will tell you
All you need to know
The seventeenth of March
Is when this joyous holiday
Is celebrated happily
With colorful parades

Dee Lai Dee Dai Dee
Dai Dee Dai Dee
Lai Dee Dai Dee Dai
Hummm...Hummm...

Patrick was only sixteen when
The pirates captured him
They sold him to slavery
And took him to Ireland

He kept the faith
And made his escape
When he was twenty-two
And made it back to Britain
'Twas the only home he knew

Patrick had a vision
To return to Ireland
And vowed to teach Christianity
Until the bitter end
Legend says that Patrick used
The shamrock to explain
That the Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Are all and one the same

On this day the Irish dress
In many shades of green
And some are feeling lucky
With the leprechauns they've seen
It's music and fun for everyone
We'll party and we'll play
Come one, come all
Come join along
On this St. Paddy's Day!
