The elephant song

This is a childish song for children. It’s fantastic to practise names of animals. Try it!

TARZAN PLAY

Next 27th May, the company IPA theatre is coming to our school. Last year they performed  “Robin Hood” and this year the story will be “Tarzan”.

Students from 2nd to 5th level of the school will enjoy the play. We have learned some songs of the story about Tarzan and the animals in the jungle. The more successful song has been: “Run  monkey”

Songs lyrics:

Run monkey

Run monkey , run monkey, run, run, run
don’t give the hunter his fun, fun, fun
Bang, bang, bang, bang
goes the hunter’s gun
Run monkey, run monkey, run, run, run
Run monkey, run monkey, run, run, run
don’t give the hunter his fun, fun, fun,
he’ll survive without his monkey pie
so run monkey, run monkey, run, run, run.

The Jungle Walk

It’s a big green paradise, full of animals use your eyes,
you see them all, doing the jungle walk.
Elephants and crocodiles; fish with feet and snakes with smiles,
you see them all, doing the jungle walk.
Everything’s free and easy, pick the fruit from the trees, see,
you don’t need money or credit, credit? forget it!
Lions, lepards, lizards too; greet a gorilla how do you do?
You see them all, doing the jungle walk.

FRIENDS AROUND EUROPE

From 3rd to 5th level, the students of the school are exchanging letters and emails with other schools around Europe. It’s a project in the e-twinning platform to make pupils aware of the importance of learning English. It’s also a way of making  the fact of learning a foreign language significative.

3rd Level: Exchange of postcards. We received Easter postcards from a school in Medias (Romania). We have sent St. George postcards to them. They have received them and very soon we will have news from them.

Romanian group

4th level: Emails with a school in England. We have sent a brief description of each student and now we wait for their answer.

5th level: Emails with a school in Coventry (England)

English class from Coventry

Moreover, we participate in the project “Wall of cards” in which about 30 schools must send postcards of their village or town to each other. With all the postcards, each school elaborates a big Europe map in order to stick the postcards in the correct country.

We have received postcards from various countries and next week we will send about 25 to them.

A nice and motivating experience to all of us, teacher and students.
