P5/6 Speaking Swahili

Today during IDL time, we learned some words in Swahili. Swahili is an African language spoken by around 120 million people. We learned how to say;

 Hello – Jambo

How are you? – Habari gani?

 I’m fine – Mzuri sana
Here is a video of us singing a Swahili song called “Yesu Ni Wangu”

 

Our ECO Song!

Today, we perfected our Eco Song. We plan to teach it to the rest of the school at Friday’s Leadership assembly. Do you recognise the tune?

🎵”We could change this whole school well don’t you know
Walk to school, clear the litter, switch the lights off and away we go
I’m just a kid and I’d like you to know
Grow some plants, care for creatures, raise awareness cos’ we know
Glenmanor is talking ’bout my Health and Wellbeing and caring for the school, conserving energy
And I’m right over here singing all that I know
Sing, we could change this school in a moment
Come on let’s go!
We can change this school in a moment
Come on let’s go!
We can change this school in a moment
Come on let’s go!” 🎵

 

Earth Hour 2017

Last week, Primary 4 were hard at work researching “Earth Hour.” We used ‘i-Movie’ on the i-pads to create our own news reports to raise awareness of climate change.

Did you take part in Earth Hour on Saturday the 25th March 2017?

Here are some of our Confident Individuals explaining what Earth Hour is and how you can make a positive change to our world.

P4 Super School Kid Rap!

P4 have been learning poems, our favourite is the school kid rap! This poem has repetition,  rhyme, rhythm and onomatopoeia.

These are the lyrics:

THE SCHOOL KID RAP

Miss was at the black board writing with the chalk.                                         When suddenly she stopped in the middle of her talk.        She snapped her fingers snap! snap! snap!                                                     Pay attention children and I’ll teach you how to rap.                                       She picked up a pencil,  she started to tap

All together children, now clap! clap! clap!                                                       Just get the rhythm, just get the beat                                                                Drum it with your fingers, stamp it with your feet                                             That’s right children, keep in time.                                                                         Now we got the rhythm, all we need is the rhyme

This school is cool, Miss Grace is ace.                                                                   Strut your stuff with a smile on your face                                                        Snap those fingers, tap those toes,                                                                        Do it like they do it in the video shows                                                             Flap it,  snap it, clap, snap, clap,                                                                                Let’s all do the school  kid rap!!!!!!!!!!
