This song's just perfect for the end of the school year, and my Class 2 pupils loved it the moment they heard it the first time.
Let's go to the beach.
Let's look for shells.
Let's play in the sand.
Let's run hand in hand.
Happy holiday,
Happy holiday,
For you and me.
Let's take a photo.
Let's catch a fish.
Let's swim in the sea,
1, 2, 3!
Happy holiday...

I also asked them to add their own two lines and illustrate them, and here are the results:
This is another song my Class 2 pupils enjoy singing. Probably because of the 'Meow' sound, but okay. It's great for revising clothes:
I'm a cool, cool cat.
Meow, meow, meow!
I like this super hat.
I'm a cool, cool cat.
Cool shoes and cool jackets,
Cool socks and super shorts,
Cool T-shirts and cool sweaters,
And cool, cool skirts.
We're cool, cool cats.
Meow, meow, meow!
We like these super hats.
We're cool, cool cats...
Meow!
Ever since they've learned the Pet song, my Class I2 pupils ask to sing it in every lesson. It's perfect for learning or revising the names of pets and opposites.
When, at the end of the school year I asked them to name their favourite song, most of them voted for this one:
Meera: My name's Meera,
And this is my fish.
It's a long fish.
It's a long fish.
Lenny: My name's Lenny,
And this is my bird.
It's a happy bird.
It's a happy bird.
Stella: My name's Stella,
And this is my cat.
It's a clean cat.
It's a clean cat.
Suzy: My name's Suzy,
And this is my dog.
It's a big dog.
It's a big dog.
Mrs Star: My name's Mrs Star,
And this is my horse.
It's a beautiful horse.
It's a beautiful horse.
Stella: My name's Simon,
And this is my mouse.
It's a small mouse.
Suzy: It's an ugly mouse.
Simon: No, it isn't.
Stella: It's a dirty mouse.
Meera: It's a short mouse.
Lenny: It's a small mouse.
All: Yes, it's a small mouse.
Simon: Yes, it is.
When my pupils heard this song for the first time, they wished it was Halloween, because of its spooky sound. Since then, we've sung it at the beginning of our lessons and most of them have learned it by heart:
Come on, come on and see me,
In my little house.
There are lots of lovely animals,
In my little house.
There's a cat in the living room.
There's a spider in the kitchen.
There are seven crocodiles,
In my lovely bathroom.
Come on, come on and see me...
There's a snake in the cellar.
There's a lizard in my bedroom.
There are tigers, lots of tigers,
In my lovely garden.
Come on, come on and see me...

My Class 4 pupils have recently done research about different countries around the world and presented their findings to their class friends:
Here's a lovely song about different activities we can do in a week:
It's a busy, busy, busy, busy,
Busy, busy, busy week...
On Mondays we go swimming.
On Tuesdays we play ball.
On Wednesdays and on Thursdays,
We play computer games.
On Fridays we play football.
On Saturdays we sing.
On Sundays we play hide-and-seek.
Oh, what a busy week!
It's a busy, busy, busy, busy,
Busy, busy, busy week...
Oh, yeah!

Most of my Class 6 pupils have recently completed the reading challenge when they read and presented the chosen stories.
What are your plans for the summer holidays?
For the holidays I am going to go to the seaside with my parents, godparents and friends. We are going to travel by car. We are going to stay at a hotel. We are going to stay there for 10 days. The hotel has an aqua park where we are going to have fun all day. I hope to see a starfish this summer.

From the 3rd to the 14th of July I am going to Sarta in Greece. I am going with my family: mum, dad, sister, and brother. We are going to travel by car. We are going to stay at a hotel.
We are going to stop by Lake Ohrid along the way.

A few months ago, different groups of my Class 4 and Class 6 pupils joined mixed international magical teams with teachers from different countries as their mentors. Their first task was to share their ideas about the topic and characters of collaborative chain stories. Then, one school started and illustrated their page, the next one added theirs, and so on. The pupils from each school had the opportunity to start, add and finish different stories which are published online.
I have to say that this activity was a bit challenging for some of my pupils, but they managed and were happy with the result.
On the last day of May, a group of my Class 6 pupils joined the online meeting with our eTwinning friends from Spain, Poland and Turkey.
They shared what they learned about the USA, what they liked about the
project, and played a Kahoot trivia quiz. It was a lot of fun.
