Our Peace Concert 2010 4th. B

Hello dear students from 4th. B!

Last Monday we performed at our Concert for Peace 2010 and it was just incredible!

I wanted to congratulate all my students for making such an effort at learning the song, rehearsing many hours a week, dressing up, etc.! I'm very proud of my students!

Now, let's head towards December!

See you all at school!

Peace on Earth by U" (Lyrics in Spanish) - Concert 2010 4th. C

Hello dear students from 4th. C,

We are adding below the lyrics of your song in Spanish. Enjoy!

El cielo en la Tierra Lo necesitamos ahora Estoy cansado de todo este Haraganear Cansado de la tristeza Cansado del dolor Cansado de oir una y otra vez Que va a haber Paz en la Tierra  Donde crecí, No había muchos árboles Donde los había los cortábamos Y los usábamos contra nuestros enemigos Dicen que aquello de lo que te burlas Seguro que luego se vuelve sobre tí Y te conviertes en un monstruo Para que el monstruo no pueda contigo  Ya ha llegado muy lejos ¿Quién dijo que si te vuelves duro No sufrirás daño?  Jesús, podrías tomarte el tiempo Para echar un cabo al hombre que se ahoga Paz en la Tierra Dí a aquellos que no oyen, Cuyos hijos están viviendo en la tierra Paz en la Tierra No 'quienes' o 'por qués' Nadie llora como llora una madre Por la paz en la Tierra. Ella nunca tuvo que decir adios Para ver el color en sus ojos Ahora el está en el barro. Eso es paz en la Tiera.  Están leyendo nombres por la radio, Todos los compañeros que el resto de nosotros no llegaremos a conocer Sean y Julia, Gareth, Ann y Breda Sus vidas son más grandes que cualquier gran idea.  Jesús, podrías tomarte el tiempo Para echar un cabo al hombre que se ahoga Paz en la Tierra Dí a aquellos que no oyen, Cuyos hijos están viviendo en la tierra Paz en la Tierra  Jesús, en esta canción que has escrito Las palabras se pegan en mi garganta, Paz en la Tierra Lo escucho en cada Navidad Pero la esperanza y la historia no rimarán, Así que ¿merece la pena? Esta paz en la Tierra.  Paz en la Tierra Paz en la Tierra Paz en la Tierra

Video on Economic, social and cultural rights for all

Hello dear students,

As we are all working on Amnesty International, an international organisation which aims to protect human rights around the world, we are posting here a nice video on economic, social and cultural rights for all.

Peace on Earth by U" (Lyrics) - Concert 2010 4th. C

Heaven on Earth, we need it now
I'm sick of all of this hanging around
Sick of sorrow, sick of the pain
I'm sick of hearing again and again
That there's gonna be peace on Earth

Where I grew up there weren't many trees
Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies
They say that what you mock
Will surely overtake you

And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you
And it's already gone too far
You say that if you go in hard
You won't get hurt

Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth

Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth

No whos or whys
No one cries like a mother cries
For peace on Earth

She never got to say goodbye
To see the colour in his eyes
Now he's in the dirt
Peace on Earth

They're reading names out over the radio
All the folks the rest of us won't get to know
Sean and Julia, Gareth, Ann, and Breda
Their lives are bigger than any big idea

Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth

To tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth

Jesus and the song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on Earth

Hear it every Christmas time
But hope and history won't rhyme
So what's it worth
This peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth

Welcome 4th. C!

Your last weekend

Hello everybody!

How are you today? Fine? Ready to write in our blog? Let's go ahead!

Write about what you did last weekend. Remember to use verbs in the past simple tense! You can see the verbs in the past in a different colour in my text below.

Here's what I did...

Last weekend I watched football and films on TV, called my friends and family, slept a lot, knitted a scarf, read a book and spent a lot of time with my family and cats. It was a cold, rainy winter weekend but very nice, after all.

Bob Dylan - Blowing in the wind

Hello dear students!

In order to get ready for this year's concert, I'm posting here the video of the song chosen.

Start listening and learning the song. I'm including below the lyrics. See you all at school! Miss María Laura ;-)

Bob Dylan Blowin’ In The Wind Lyrics

How many roads must a man walk down,
before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove fly,
before she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must a cannon ball fly,
before they're forever banned?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist,
before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist,
before they're allowed to be free?
And how many times can a man turn his head,
and pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.

How many times must a man look up,
before he sees the sky?
And how many ears must one man have,
before he can hear people cry ?
And how many deaths will it take till we know,
that too many people have died?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.
