1,2,3,4


Hello hello!
This blog is called one two three ... English! But there is life after that. There is exactly one more number (or more, who knows ... ) and this is number 4. Feist went to Sesame Street to share this number with all the neighbours and the children around. And today I would like to share it with you all. Boys, girls, children, parents, get ready to sing and dance with the next song. 1, 2, 3 ... 4!!!

Body parts game

Pony Boy lullaby

Hello everybody!
Today's post is one of the songs that children at Infantil listen when it is time to tidy up the classroom and go home. That is one of these moments when little kiddies calm down and relax. put their heads on the table and "sleep". As the song is too long to be sang in the classroom, I have adapted it to make it easy and memorable for them. You can read the lyrics from the part of the song that we sing in class below, so you can practise it with them. Just click on the image at the end of this post and get ready to listen to the music and share a moment of joy and rest with you children!

Pony Boy (by Bruce Springsteen)
Pony boy pony boy
Won't you be my pony boy
Giddy-up giddy-up giddy-up whoo
My pony boy

Ride with me ride with me
Won't you take a ride with me
Underneath the starry sky
My pony boy

Lost and Found

One of the things we cannot live without is friendship. Friends are an important part of our lives, but sometimes we do not realize that. But, can you remember when and where did you meet your best friends? And, can you imagine your life without them?
Here you are a story about a boy and a penguin, which fate was to be friends. Lost and Found is a lovely story by Oliver Jeffers, a must in any children's library, and a good excuse for any family to sit down in front of the screen and let the soundtrack drive their senses through the way to friendship. Click on the picture on the right and enjoy the video based on the book. Have a good time and in good company!
