A new poem! Can you learn it?

Water, water everywhere, water all around, Water in the ocean, water in the ground.

Water in a river, water in a creek, Water in a faucet with a drip-drip leak!

Water at a fire, gushing through a hose, Water in a garden, so every flower grows.

Water for the animals swimming in the sea, Water, water everywhere for you and for me!

I’M SINGING IN THE RAIN… (try to sing it along!)

Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du

Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du

 

I´m singin´ in the rain

Just singin´ in the rain,

What a glorious feeling,

And I´m happy again.

I´m laughing at clouds

So dark, up above,

The sun´s in my heart

And I´m ready for love.

 

Let the stormy clouds chase.

Everyone from the place,

Come on with the rain

I have a smile on my face.

I´ll walk down the lane

With a happy refrain

Just singin', singin' in the rain.

 

Dancing in the rain.

 

I'm happy again.

 

I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain.

 

Dancin' and singin' in the rain.

Keep on singing!

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head

And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed

Nothin' seems to fit

Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'



So I just did me some talkin' to the sun

And I said I didn't like the way he got things done

Sleepin' on the job

Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'



But there's one thing I know

The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me



Raindrops keep fallin' on my head

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red

Cryin's not for me

'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'

Because I'm free

Nothin's worryin' me



------ trumpet ------



It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me



Raindrops keep fallin' on my head

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red

Cryin's not for me

'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'

Because I'm free

Nothin's worryin' me

Can you try a simple drawing to explain how this works?

See you soon!

Project: WATER

Remember last Wednesday we visited the Water Tower? Remember why? Yes! We started working for our next project, which will end on July 4th.
The topic of this project is.... Water. So let's start from the very beginning. Today you will have to work with an online dictionary. You will have to find the word water, and also other combinations and collocations with the same word (I will tell you which).
Work with this link:
Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English Online http://www.ldoceonline.com/
Good luck!

Welcome to our first blog!

Hello children! You may be wandering... What is a blog??? Why a J4 blog??? Ok. Let's go step by step. Firstly, a blog is a web page with information about a particular subject. There are different kinds of blogs, and we can create one, or many. You can use blogs for many purposes: to give opinions, to share information or news, to tell people about a trip, etc. In fact, the word blog comes from a combination of two words: "web" + "log", which form "weblog". This word is then is shortened to "blog". You already know what the web is (remember Happy Earth?) A "log" is an official written record of events, especially on a journey in a ship or plane. The captain of a ship usually keeps a record of whatever happens during the journey, so that anyone can read it once the journey finishes. This one is called an "edublog"; it was created with the idea of using it at school to communicate, publish, organize, store and share information with your teacher. WHEN YOU WORK ON THIS BLOG, REMEMBER TO FOLLOW YOUR TEACHER'S INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY. So... let's get started! Good luck!!! See you soon!
