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:-)

HERE IT GOES! :-)

PRIMARY-3.- MY FAVOURITE ANIMAL :-)

HELLO!
IN UNIT-2 PRIMARY-3 KIDS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON ANIMALS, AND THEIR FEATURES: WHAT THEY HAVE GOT OR HAVEN'T GOT.
THEY LISTENED AND READ AESOP'S FABLE "THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE".
AND THEIR PROJECT WAS ABOUT THEIR FAVOURITE ANIMALS: NAME, TYPE, DESCRIPTION, HABITAT AND FOOD.

HERE YOU ARE WHAT THEY DID :-)

PRIMARY-5.- THIS IS ME! A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PRIMARY 5'S KIDS :-)

HELLO EVERYONE!

PRIMARY 5 KIDS WANT YOU TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THEM. THAT IS WHY THEY WROTE A SHORT TEXT TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES.

HERE YOU CAN SEE THE RESULTS IN THIS BOOK:

READING SKILLS PRACTICE :-)

WHY READING IS SO IMPORTANT:

1-  Reading is important because it develops the mind. The mind is a muscle. It needs exercise. Understanding the written word is one way the mind grows in its ability. Teaching young children to read helps them develop their language skills. It also helps them learn to listen. Everybody wants to talk, but few can really listen. Lack of listening skills can result in major misunderstandings which can lead to job loss, marriage breakup, and other disasters - small and great. Reading helps children [and adults] focus on what someone else is communicating.

2-  Why is reading important? It is how we discover new things. Books, magazines and even the Internet are great learning tools which require the ability to read and understand what is read. A person who knows how to read can educate themselves in any area of life they are interested in. We live in an age where we overflow with information, but reading is the main way to take advantage of it.

3- Reading develops the imagination. TV and computer games have their place, but they are more like amusement. Amusement comes from two words "a" [non] and "muse" [think]. Amusement is non-thinking activities. With reading, a person can go anywhere in the world...or even out of it! They can be a king, or an adventurer, or a princess, or... The possibilities are endless. Non-readers never experience these joys to the same extent.

4- Finally, why is reading important?  Reading is important because words - spoken and written - are the building blocks of life. You are, right now, the result of words that you have heard or read AND believed about yourself. What you become in the future will depend on the words you believe about yourself now. People, families, relationships, and even nations are built from words. Think about it.

THAT IS WHY I SUGGEST YOU TO CLICK ON THIS PICTURE BELOW. HERE YOU CAN FIND A LOT OF EASY OR... DIFFICULT TEXTS TO READ AND PRACTICE: VOCABULARY, STRUCTURES, READING COMPREHENSION AND THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THEM ALL: ENJOYING READING!

THESE ARE HIGHER LEVELS: 2 - 3

ENJOY READING!!!!

WE LISTENED AND READ THE STORY. WE ASKED AND ANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STORY.
WE ALSO HAVE LEARNT THE MORAL OF THE STORY:

HI!
WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER IN UNIT-2. AND WE'VE ALSO BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE WATHER CYCLE.

IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE WATER FROM THE SEAS MOVES UP AND DOWN AND ALL AROUND THE EARTH ... BUT THERE ARE THREE VERY IMPORTANT CONCEPTS YOU HAVE TO BEAR IN MIND: EVAPORATION, CONDENSATION AND PRECIPITATION.

WITH THIS VIDEO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THEM EASILY :-)

OF COURSE, HERE YOU ARE... THE LYRICS!!!!!

Water Cycle Song Lyrics: 

The Water Cycle
Takes the water and moves it
Up and Down and all around the Earth

Evaporation comes
When the heat from the Sun
Warms up all the groundwater
Then it turns to water vapor

Condensation takes over
It goes up to the clouds
Water vapor cools down
And it changes to a liquid, now

Precipitation happens
When the drops get big
It falls like Rain, Snow, Sleet, and Hail upon my head
I know it's the water cycle happening again
Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation

ENJOY, AND THANKS TO Have Fun Teaching FOR THIS VIDEO :-)

PRIMARY .- UNIT-2: WHAT'S THE WEATHER LIKE? :-)

HI THERE!

HERE YOU ARE THE RESULT. THEY DID SUCCEED, DIDN'T THEY?

IT'S A SUNNY DAY!

IT'S MILD AND A BIT CLOUDY.

THE SKY IS BLUE.

IT'S A BIT SUNNY.

IT'S AUTUMN TODAY!

IT ISN'T RAINING.
