" Back to School " concert with BlueSmoke Band

Hi all!
Last Friday, we were  invited to attend a cool Back-To-School concert with  four guys who call themselves "BlueSmoke". It was a fun way for all of us to really going back to school .We all had a great time listening to them . They are great !

We had the chance to listen to famous songs:
"Imagine"
"What a wonderful world!"
"Stand by me"
"We will rock you"
"Don´t worry, be happy"
"RadioActive"
" Say something"
"All of me"
" Counting stars"

We learned the importance of learning English with songs too. We had to answer some questions:
Is English important?
Is English easy to learn?
Is your English good?
How do you learn English?
Do you want to be better at English?
And Brenda explained how to improve our English with songs.

Thank you so much for your visit, Brenda!!! And thanks a lot, BlueSmoke!

Hello, hello ! You´ve got a friend in me.

Hi guys,

Two songs to welcome all my pupils back to school.

The first one is " Hello, hello" by Dan Zanes.

The other song is called " You´ve got a friend in me" .

Believe it or not, teachers are always thinking of you.

Lyrics:

Every day brings more

than the day before

open any door

and say hello hello hello.

It’s the same bright sun

shines on everyone

and though the clouds may come

just say hello hello hello

Every day is new

so wonderous and true

and a friend comes wandering through

and says hello hello hello.

I spy with my little eye

my shoes grew wings and learned to fly

up into the morning sky,

and they said hello hello hello

my shoes just said hello hello hello

my friends just said hello.

shalom(hebrew)

hola(spanish)

chow(italian)

bonjour(french)

moshi moshi(japanese)

salaam(arabic)

yo bo say(korean)

neeha(chinese)

Going back to school with a positive attitude!

Hi again!.

I know, relax time is over!. With the new school year right around the corner, it’s time to prepare you for the transition back to the classroom. There are ways to make the return to school less stressful : choose a nice school bag, school clothes and supplies, begin wake-up and bedtime routines a few weeks before school starts, talk to your parents about school and your classmates. Most important, remember that if you have a positive attitude towards school, sucess follows. It´s a good moment to start doing our best.

Answer these questions about you and your school:

What grade are you in this year?
What do you like/dislike about your teacher(s) this year?
What qualities would the perfect teacher have?
Are there any new teachers or kids? What do you think about them?
If you could be in any grade, what grade would you be in? Why?
What is your favorite subject? Why?
What is your favorite time of day at school?
What are your goals for this year?.

Now, watch these kids talking about they like best about school.
