Singing "Home"

We are learning this song as a duet. The girls are learning one part and the boys the other. We are hoping to get really good and to share it in assembly next term. Help us practise!
Here are the lyrics

Girls: Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my Ma & Pa

Not the way that I do love you

Boys: Holy Moley, Me-oh-My, you're the apple of my eye

Girl, I've never loved one like you

Girls: Man, oh man, you're my best friend,

I scream it to the nothingness

There ain't nothin' that I need

Boys: Well, hot & heavy, pumpkin pie,

chocolate candy, Jesus Christ

There ain't nothin' please me more than you

All: Ahh, Home

Let me come Home

Home is wherever I'm with you (2x)

La la la la, take me Home

Mama, I'm coming Home

Boys: I'll follow you into the park,

through the jungle, through the dark

Girl, I've never loved one like you

Girls: Moats & boats & waterfalls,

alley ways & pay phone calls

I've been everywhere with you

Boys: That's true

Boys: We laugh until we think we'll die,

barefoot on a summer night

Never could be sweeter than with you.

Girls: And in the streets we're running free,

like i's only you and me

Geez, you're somethin' to see.

All: Ahh, Home

Let me come Home

Home is wherever I'm with you (2x)

La la la la, take me Home

Mama, I'm coming Home

Gillian's math group has been working on choosing the best strategy for different problems. They have been choosing between near doubles, tidy tens and splitting up tens and ones.

Singular and Plural

We are learning about singular and plural nouns this week. Singular is one thing and plural is more than one. For example, toys is plural and pencil is singular. Most plural words end in an s.

Assembly

What a great assembly on Friday!

Thank you to our wonderful presenters...

Messages from the student council:

Disco & Joke and Dress up Friday For The Blog

Disco: The Disco was very successful and almost all of the food was sold. Thanks to all the parent and helpers that helped with the Disco!

Toy Swap: The toy swap went successfully!!!

For the end of the term, on Friday the 25th we will be having Joke and Dress up Friday!!!

Joke and Dress up Friday, is where you can bring in a joke and you can dress up as whatever you like. The student council will pick some jokes that they liked and read them out to the whole school. The winners (1 from each base group) will get a big chocolate frog, but don’t worry, you get a little chocolate frog for participating! :) You could dress up as a… Fairy, Pirate, Bird, Animal, Princess, Prince, Your friend, Your favourite book, tv or cartoon character

Or any other ideas that you may have! We hope to see lots of jokes and costumes next Friday!
