Welcome to 2020. I know it is going to be a great year. I now have 2020 vision. You guys still continue to amaze me. I was in the north this week visiting schools. A highlight of my visit was the school in Regba. I ran a lesson for the fifth graders and the children sang too beautifully. Fortunately I was at the front of the class to see the smiles and happiness on the faces of the children. That is what it is all about. Having fun with music and song, singing and talking in English and learning too.

Thanks to Ella Glazov for sharing this wonderful site with me. Ella has made a site called English through songs and she has put a lot of effort into it so that you can find lyrics, youtube links and lyrics training

Create amazing posters and news letters with Smore

Keep your class parents in the loop. Film your children singing and add the video to the Smore. Smore pages can be embedded in your school webpage.

I think it is going to be a wet weekend. So I leave you with this lovely song that I learnt many years ago when I started learning to play the guitar.
