THE BEST ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE EVER!

Peter Weatherfall has got a song for almost everything as you can see on the link below. I love them all! This one reviews some vocabulary about clothes and shows how to keep your stuff nice and clean. What would we do without our washing machines? :-)

GUY FAWKES


I have just made this "Guy Fawkes" using the templates I have mentioned on the activities link below. I hope my students enjoy doing it as much as I did! :-)

REMEMBER REMEMBER POEM


Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...

BONFIRE NIGHT

On 5 November every year, children in Britain get excited because it is Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes' Night). They lit bonfires and enjoy fireworks displays. On top of the fire is a guy (a homemade model of a man, like a scarecrow).
They do these things because they're remembering when the King of England, James l, and the Houses of Parliament were nearly blown up with gunpowder.

SCARY HALLOWEEN!

I hope my older students find this video scary enough as they have been complaining all week about my "childish" videos for "children". They are really funny!

KNOCK, KNOCK...


This is one of the best Halloween children songs I have ever listened to. You can take advantage of its lyrics to tell your students about the "trick or treat" tradition and they can learn many Halloween costumes while having fun.
