We All Laugh in the Same Language -- New version

Ilam School will be having our Cultural week during Week 7. Here is the song we need to know. 

Carlos says “Hola”, Sun Lee says “Nee-how.”

Chantal says “Bonjour”, Mario says, “Ciao.”

Sasha says, “Pri-vyet”, Thomas says “Jambo”

Sarala says, “Mah-rah-ba”, Kaitlyn says, “Hello” …but

Chorus

           We all laugh in the same language

           We all love to learn and play

           Our hearts beat in the same rhythm

           Round the world, we’re all the same

           We all cry when we feel sorrow

           We all love our family

           We all hope for a better tomorrow

           Round the world, you and me

Raj rides a rickshaw, Nigel takes the bus

Gabe drives a bobsled, Cynda walks through dust

Early each morning , just like me and you

Children all around the world are on their way to school! (oh)

           

Chorus

We’re ebony, ivory, bronze and gold and tan

We’re citizens of planet earth, a family of man

Chorus

 PINCH AND A PUNCH FOR THE FIRST OF THE MONTH

ASK ME ABOUT MY LEARNING

 Often your child will come home and when you ask them about what they have learnt at school, they might answer with "NOTHING" 

Here are some things you could ask them about from the last couple of weeks.

CURRENT EVENTS: What are we doing for Oral Language? What day are you on?

Statistics: What does this mean? What steps could you do to be good at gathering data? Can you show me how to make a graph? What types of graphs can you make? 

LOVE IS POEMS: 

We used our different senses to write about things that we love. Which one did you write? Did you enjoy this activity?
