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

Cake Day 2009

The same place, the same people, but 2 years later. Class VIII2 and I had a sort of farewell party on 27 May. During the double period of English, we listened to some old CDs, played games, ate some delicious home-made sweets, and really enjoyed every minute.

No wonder everyone felt like singing a well-known song called 'Sausages with ice-cream':

My favourite animal (article)

Polar bears live in the Arctic. They have got white thick fur, strong legs and a black nose. They live a lonely life.

Polar bears usually eat fish, seals and whales. They can live without eating even three months. Their only real enemy is a man.

Polar bears can hunt and swim very well. They are about 2.5 meters tall and weigh about 250-770 kilograms. People hunt them, because they have got expensive fur and meat. They live about 15-18 years.

My favourite animal is a crocodile.

Crocodiles are dark brown. They can run fast and sometimes jump for food.

Crocodiles eat meat. They usually have sixty-eight sharp teeth. Their food goes straight into their stomachs. Crocodiles never clean their teeth.

Crocodiles are often four meters long.

I like crocodiles because they look strong.

I like many animals, but my favourite animals are cats.

My cat’s name is Betty and she’s snowy white. Betty has blue eyes and she’s very cute.

She lives in a cat house with her brother Čupko.

Betty eats grains, meat and fish.

She can do tricks and catch butterflies.

Betty has many friends. She likes to relax in her basket and watch TV. Sometimes she likes to play with my finger and when I toss her in the air.

Betty is a clever little kitten and she’s one year old.

Butterflies. Everybody loves to see that wonderful insect. It is so small, but so beautiful.

There are white, brown and colourful butterflies. They fly from flower to flower. They eat pollen and nectar.

They are so fast that only a few people can catch them.

Butterflies live in our gardens, in the parks and forests.

In the spring there are a lot of them.

They live only one day, but that is enough to show us their beauty.

Penguins are funny little birds. They have wings, but they can’t fly. Instead, they use their wings as flippers to paddle in the water. They are excellent swimmers.

Most penguins live in the ice-covered continent of Antarctica.

They have long bodies, short legs and they can stand upright. Penguins have dark backs and white fronts that make them look like men in tuxedos. They look like people at a fancy party. Male and female penguins form couples to raise young penguins.

They live about twenty years.

Penguins are cute animals and I like them.
