Do you like?

This catchy song is another favourite in Class 1. It is perfect for practising food vocabulary and simple questions. My youngest pupils always enjoy it. This time, they made it their own by adding new foods and answers. 

They used playdough to make the food, which made the activity even more fun and creative.

Soon we had watermelons, lemons, spaghetti, muffins, cookie pizza, and lots of “Yes, I do!” and “No, I don’t! Yukky!” echoing around the classroom:

Tommy's in the Kitchen

This song is another favourite with my younger pupils. It’s great for revising food vocabulary in a fun way. The rhythm is easy and the funny food combinations always make the children laugh.

Tommy's in the kitchen,
Come and take him out!
Tommy's in the kitchen,
Come and take him out!

I've got an apple in my sandwich.
I've got milk on my peas.
I've got juice on my sausage.
Help! Oh, help me, please!

Tommy's in the kitchen,
Come and take him out!
Tommy's in the kitchen,
Come and take him out!

I've got carrots on my pizza.
And a banana on my cheese.
I've got chicken with my cake.
Help! Oh, help me, please!

Tommy's in the kitchen,
Come and take him out!
Tommy's in the kitchen,
Come and take him out!

HIPPO 2026

 This year, three groups of my pupils—12 in total—joined the preliminary round of the Hippo Contest. For some it was a familiar challenge, while for others it was their very first time. All agreed the tests felt easy, so we’re hopeful for good news in the weeks ahead. 



The local round took place on 22 March at Đura Jakšić Primary School.

Toy Shop

My Class 2 pupils had great fun chanting about toys. 

This lively chant is a wonderful way for them to practise toy vocabulary while enjoying rhythm and repetition.

Toy shop, toy shop,
Let's go to the toy shop.
Look!

A doll, a car, a bike, oh yes,
A go-kart and a train,
A ball, a computer game,
A monster and a plane.

Yes.
And there's a kite!
That's right!

Pets

This old song about pets is a much-loved classic in my classroom. It is great for practising pets and adjectives. My youngest pupils always love it. This time, they made it their own by introducing their own pets and descriptions. Soon we had happy children with their long fish, happy birds, clean cats, big dogs, and even a small hamster filling the room with laughter:

At the Circus

This new generation of Class 2 pupils loves singing this fun song about animals! 

It’s an easy way to revise vocabulary and always brings cheerful energy to the lesson. The rhythm is simple, the repetition makes it easy to remember, and the playful mix of animals brings smiles every time.

Look at the spiders,
Look at the rats,
Look at the lizards,
Look at the cats!

Look at the elephants,
Look at the dogs,
Look at the ducks,
And look at the frogs! 

Spiders, cats,
Lizards and rats.
Ducks, dogs,
Elephants and frogs.

Busy Week

This Class 5 generation’s favorite song is one we learned three years ago. 

When it was time to revise the present simple, it was the perfect warm-up. Later, the pupils used activities from the song to write about what they always or sometimes do, and to practise the -s ending with he or she.

It turned out to be a fun way to practise grammar while enjoying music.
