This song is perfect for the end of the school year, and my Class 2 pupils liked it right away. They enjoyed listening to this cheerful song about summer activities and tried to sing along.
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...
In our last lessons in Class 1, we revised vocabulary, chants, and songs we had learned, and decided to film the food song with short dialogues:
What's in your basket, your basket, your basket?
What's in your basket?
Apples for you.
What's in your basket, your basket, your basket?
What's in your basket?
Carrots for you.
In our lesson, we talked about musical instruments. The pupils said which ones they play and which ones they would like to learn one day. They also drew themselves playing their chosen instrument. Then, inspired by the song in our book, I asked them to make teams based on the instruments they had drawn and practise saying, “I can play the …”
Another generation of Class 1 pupils enjoyed learning the song about the parts of the head with Mrs Potato. They joined in with the actions and laughed at the playful “woo” sound, which made the lesson lively and memorable.
As part of the Year of Friendship & Discovery project, Class 5 pupils took part in several fun language activities with their international friends.
They added lines to the collaborative acrostic poem, generated images to illustrate their partners’ chosen lines and then recorded their voices using ChatterPix Kids and Blabberize.
They pretended to take part in a Spelling Bee contest, prepared by our Spanish friends. It was challenging, but they really enjoyed the experience.
The pupils also shared their favourite tongue twisters on the forum, bringing lots of laughter and friendly challenges.
Finally, they played the game prepared by our Bosnian partners and did their best to answer the questions as quickly as they could.
This generation of Class 2 pupils also had fun learning the song that helped them practise the days of the week and different activities. Singing together made it easier to remember the words and brought lots of energy to our lessons.
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!
Class 2 pupils love singing this song. The funny 'Meow' sound always makes them laugh, and at the same time they get to practise clothes words.
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!
As part of our The Seagull and the Cat project, my younger pupils joined friends from Albania, Croatia, Estonia, Greece, Jordan, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, and Türkiye to create a story together.
Class 2 pupils illustrated the opening sentence of Part 1, Chapter 2. They added their picture and Serbian translation to StoryJumper and recorded their voices. They were very happy and proud to share their work.
Class 1 pupils illustrated the scene from Part 2, Chapter 5. They also added their picture and Serbian translation to StoryJumper and recorded their voices. They were excited and proud to hear their voices in the story.
It was a joyful experience for both classes. Their drawings and voices made the story come alive, and they showed great imagination and teamwork.
As a follow‑up to the lessons on clothes items, I taught my Class 1 pupils the seasons through an old chant with movements:
The pupils enjoyed acting out the words, which made learning both fun and memorable.

At first, it was a real challenge since the chant is a bit faster, but soon they caught the rhythm and followed along, repeating the words and pointing to the drawings. It was a fun way to practise vocabulary and remember the new words!
We finished the school year reading challenge with individually chosen stories, again as independent work.
