Time for school (kids singing)

Here's one of the catchy songs about school, this time sung by class VI1. The lyrics are, as follows:

Bring your notepad, bring your pens
Bring your schoolbag, too
Bring your books, call your friends
Bring them all with you

It's time for school, hooray, hooray
Hurry up, it's my first day
It's time for school, it's lots of fun
School is great for everyone
 

English, Maths and History
Art and Science, too
Music and Geography
Are fun for me and you

All Seasons Are Amazing

The year is full of seasons,

Some are hot and sunny,

Some are cold and freezing,

Some are rainy and windy.

All seasons are amazing,

I like them just like you,

Let's protect the flowers

This is their ground, too!

Seasons are wonderful,

Flowers are nice to see,

The pool is hot for swimming,

The ice is great for skating.

Ratko Stanković, VI1, September 2009,
inspired by a song called 'All Creatures Are Amazing' from our coursebooks

Summer

I like summer best

When the sun shines

And you have a rest.

You may swim in the river the whole day

And nobody asks you

How long you will stay.

Ana Šogorov, VI2, September 2009

Greece

Ancient temples,

Beautiful sea,

Wonderful music,

Which sets me free.

Lying in the sun,

Playing at the beach,

Buying souvenirs,

And eating a peach.

My friend

My friend's name is Lina

And she is from China.

She never gets mad,

But sometimes she is sad.

She is so pretty,

Like a little kitty.

Milica Marić, VI2, September 2009

Fairies

Fairies are like girls with wings

I have many of these things.

They live with Mother Nature

Fairies can see in the future.

They have magic powers, too

Fairies can help you.

Dunja David, VI2, October 2009

A girl and a flower

A little girl playing in the park,

Saw a yellow flower before the dark.

She picked up the flower,

Kissed it for hello,

And took it with her

Wherever she had to go.

Doroteja Čikić, VI2, October 2009

Love

What is love?

It's when you cry,

And when you want to die

Without any reason why.

It's hard to love,

Harder than to hate.

The best thing of all is

To arrange for a date.

Vladimir Jakšić, VI2, October 2009

We love

We love chocolate cakes,

Especially when mum bakes.

We love a lot of toys

For all the girls and boys.

We love lots of things,

But most of all pretty wings.

We love flowers

And four - leaf clovers.

We love a lot of stuff

We never have enough.

Milica Marić, VI2, October 2009

Cats

We love cats,

They are good pets.

Cats can be happy and playful,

They can be like a little girl.

They play with different toys

And give us lots of joys.

Vladimir Jakšić, VI2, October 2009

Ireland

The 'Emerald Isle',

A beautiful place,

You may go there

If you have a good taste.

Cheerful music,

Tasty beer,

Happy dancers

All the year.

Doroteja Čikić, VI2, October 2009

London

That beautiful city

On the River Thames,

With lots of people

And places to see.

You may go there,

To work or play.

You may spend a lot of money

Every day.

Seasons Change (kids singing)

Here's another super song from our coursebooks, enjoyed by my pupils.

The lyrics are as follows:

When spring is here, the world is new
The grass is green, the sky is blue
When summer comes, it's very hot
We can play and swim a lot

The seasons change before our eyes
Each season brings a new surprise
The seasons change, they bring such joy
For every girl and every boy

When autumn's here, there's wind and rain
It's time to stay indoors again
When winter comes, the world is white
Snow is such a lovely sight

The following clips show the performances of my classes VI3 and VI1 in September 2009.

Rules

At the beginning of every school year, we try to agree on some rules to follow in the lessons. We also discuss the ways of treating those who break the rules (usually a warning, but if the behaviour continues, the pupil is asked to write down the past forms of 10 irregular verbs).

Here's a list of some rules we've come up with in the last few years:

* Listen

* Try to speak English as much as possible

* Don't shout

* Bring your books

* Don't be late

* Raise your hand when you want to say something

* Do your homework

* Switch off your mobile phones

* Don't eat or drink in the class

* Don't be rude

All the rules are then signed by everyone:

My family (poems)

My mum is as wise as an owl,
But she uses an ugly towel.

My dad is as strong as an ox,
But he wears stinky socks.

My sister is as playful as a kitten,
But without me, she gets beaten.

I’m as slow as a snail,
But I can tell a great fairytale.

Rastko Zamurović, V2


My mother is as quiet as a mouse,
She keeps clean the whole house.

My brother is as stubborn as a mule,
And he doesn’t like school.

My father is as strong as an ox,
But my brother and I give him lots of shocks.

I am as playful as a kitten,
But sometimes I get beaten.


Igor Olajić, V2


My mum’s as pretty as a cat,
Because she’s got a hat.

My dad’s as strong as an ox,
And he always changes his socks.

 

My sister’s as quiet as a mouse,
Because she’s invisible in the house.

 
I’m as stubborn as a mule,
But I’m also clever and really cool.


Aleksa Konstantinov, V2


My mum’s as proud as a peacock,
Because she’s an excellent cook.

My dad’s as strong as an ox
And he can catch a fox.

My grandma’s as quiet as a mouse
And she likes sitting in her house.

My grandpa’s as busy as a bee,
Because he always helps me.

I’m as playful as a cat,
Cause I like playing with my pet.


Aleksandra Terzić, V3


My mum is as wise as an owl,
Because she helps me every hour.

My dad is as busy as a bee,
And he always worries about my sister and me.

My sister is as small as a mouse,
And she is always in the house.

I am as fast as a rabbit,
Because I always eat a carrot. 

Ratko Stanković, V1


My mum is as busy as a bee,
Because she looks after my sister and me.

My dad is as strong as an ox,
Because he always crushes some rocks.

My sister is as gentle as a lamb,
And she always has something planned.


Dejan Kovačević, V2
