Guess How Much I Love You: A great children’s book for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is coming and Kate (one of our Language Assistants) wanted to share one of her favorite books from when she was a child.

This is a cartoon version of the text on YouTube and is great for right before bedtime.

Don’t forget to tell everyone you love “I love you to the moon and back!” this Valentine’s Day!

Cambridge YLE Resources for Use at Home (Starters, Movers, Flyers)

As we begin the Cambridge Exam preparation season (with the required BEDA exam coming up on the 4th of March that is similar to the Starters Exam), here are some resources you can use at home. We will send out a translated Starters Vocabulary List to students in 2o of Primaria in the next few days so you can help prepare them as best you can.

Here at school our Language Assistants are using some of these resources themselves and have found them to be great tools in the classroom.

Check them out!

Peace Day

On Thursday, 29 January we will be holding our annual Peace Day event. This year’s song is Heal the World by Michael Jackson.

Here are the lyrics (from http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/michaeljackson/healtheworld.html)

There’s A Place In
Your Heart
And I Know That It Is Love
And This Place Could
Be Much
Brighter Than Tomorrow
And If You Really Try
You’ll Find There’s No Need
To Cry
In This Place You’ll Feel
There’s No Hurt Or Sorrow

There Are Ways
To Get There
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Little Space
Make A Better Place…

Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

If You Want To Know Why
There’s A Love That
Cannot Lie
Love Is Strong
It Only Cares For
Joyful Giving
If We Try
We Shall See
In This Bliss
We Cannot Feel
Fear Or Dread
We Stop Existing And
Start Living

Then It Feels That Always
Love’s Enough For
Us Growing
So Make A Better World
Make A Better World…

Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

And The Dream We Were
Conceived In
Will Reveal A Joyful Face
And The World We
Once Believed In
Will Shine Again In Grace
Then Why Do We Keep
Strangling Life
Wound This Earth
Crucify Its Soul
Though It’s Plain To See
This World Is Heavenly
Be God’s Glow

We Could Fly So High
Let Our Spirits Never Die
In My Heart
I Feel You Are All
My Brothers
Create A World With
No Fear
Together We’ll Cry
Happy Tears
See The Nations Turn
Their Swords
Into Plowshares

We Could Really Get There
If You Cared Enough
For The Living
Make A Little Space
To Make A Better Place…

Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

You And For Me
You And For Me
You And For Me
You And For Me
You And For Me
You And For Me
You And For Me
You And For Me
You And For Me
You And For Me
You And For Me

Heal the world we live in, save it for our children
Heal the world we live in, save it for our children
Heal the world we live in, save it for our children
Heal the world we live in, save it for our children

Christmas

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Our five year-olds are hard at work for their performance on December 18th where they’re going to perform a version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. We’ve also put up a playlist from Super Simple Songs, one of our favorite groups around! Finally, we also have the song that the First Cycle of Primary will perform.

Get into the holiday spirit!
