Hello Adam and Bern

Hello,
My name is Krzysztof (Chris) and I am an only child. I live in Katowice. My hobbies are cycling and computer games. In my free time I meet my friends and we usually play with Lego blocks. I don't like dancing or singing. I love spaghetti. My favourite animal is the capybara. I don't think I am allergic to anything. I sometimes sneeze, but then I get medicines for that.
What are your hobbies? Do you have any other brother or sister? What pets have you got? Write soon,
Krzysztof

Hello Núria!

Hello Núria,
I am very happy to hear from you and about my trip to Spain. I can't wait to meet you. I really like eating a lot of things, there are only a few things I don't like. I am not allergic to anything, or at least I don't know about it. I am keen on swimming, rollerblading and all things connected with sports. I have two brothers, both are older than me. I love animals, too. I have two cats and a dog. Have you got any pets? Have you got any brothers or sisters? What are you interested in?
Write soon,
Matylda :)

HELLO GUILLEM!

Hello Guillem,
This is Kuba from Katowice. I am very happy that I will come to see you and your family in May. I love playing football and I am interested in nature. My favourite food is chips, lasagne, spaghetti, pizza, cornflakes with milk and many other types of food. I really dislike spinach and broccholi. I am allergic to cat fur, grass (but I take medicines for that). After school I often go to football trainings and I study, too.
Can you tell me something about your family? Have you got a brother or sister? Have you got a pet? What are you interested in?
Hope to hear from you soon
Kuba

Pupil Council at Dalmarnock Primary School

Hi, we would like to introduce our Pupil Council to you. There are 11 members in our team and we have a very important job to do in school because we make lots of decisions which will help to improve our school.

Do any of your schools have a Pupil Council?

We would like to hear what you do to help make changes in your school.

At the moment we are busy working with Mrs Ratcliffe to prepare for all our visitors in March, we have lots of exciting ideas. We are making invitations and keeping all our classes informed about our plans for our show. We hope your teachers are looking forward to visiting our school.

Write back and tell us what you do in your schools because we are always looking for ideas.

From Dalmarnock Pupil Council

Merry Xmas to you all with a song to sing along...!!

spoken:

Think about the generations and to say we want to make it a better world for our children and our children's children. So that they know it's a better world for them; and think if they can make it a better place.


There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow.
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow.
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space, make a better place.

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.


If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving.
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world, make a better world.


Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race.
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.


And the dream we would conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify it's soul
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly
Be God's glow.


We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel
You are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space to make a better place.


Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.


Refrain (2x)


There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.
There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.


You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
