Thanksgiving Day!

Hi everyone!
Do you know what? Today is Thanksgiving! Have you ever heard about it? Too much turkey, stuffing, cranberries sauce and pumpkin pie... Mmmmmmmm... Delicious! Happy Thanksgiving!

Love to eat turkey

Love to eat turkey

"Ohhh, I love you!"

Love to eat turkey

'Cause it's good

Love to eat turkey

Like a good boy should

'Cause it's turkey to eat

So good

"That clappin's messing my head up man. I appreciate it.

But I was trying to think of the next line and all I hear is clapping.

Here we go... Thanks anyways"

Turkey for me

Turkey for you

Let's eat the turkey

In my big brown shoe

Love to eat the turkey

At the table

I once saw a movie

With Betty Grable

Eat that turkey

All night long

Fifty million Elvis fans

Can't be wrong

Turkey lurkey doo and

Turkey lurkey dap

I eat that turkey

Then I take a nap

Thanksgiving is a special night

Jimmy Walker used to say Dynomite

That's right

Turkey with gravy and cranberry

Can't believe the Mets traded Darryl Strawberry

Turkey for you and

Turkey for me

Can't believe Tyson

Gave that girl V.D.

White meat, dark meat

You just can't lose

I fell off my moped

And I got a bruise

Turkey in the oven

And the buns in the toaster

I'll never take down

My Cheryl Tiegs poster

Wrap the turkey up

In aluminum foil

My brother likes to masturbate

With baby oil

Turkey and sweet potato pie

Sammy Davis Jr.

Only had one eye

Turkey for the girls and

Turkey for the boys

My favorite kind of pants

Are corduroys

Gobble gobble goo and

Gobble gobble gickel

I wish turkey

Only cost a nickel

Oh I love turkey on Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

Our friends hippo & dog teach us a song

Hi everybody!

TEACHER: No, that's wrong

GLENN: Maybe it is wrong, but you asked me how I spell it

I Like Big Books

Can you imagine playing this at school? 

A good book on your shelf is a friend that turns its back on you and remains a friend. So spread friendship around the world!

The Diary of a Disappointed Book

This short film tells a disappointing year in the life of a book. Though they might often be our most treasured possessions, it is remarkable how easily books can be neglected, mistreated and sometimes even lost.

Back to the Fruiture

I missed you! Here you are a funny video from a successful video series. It's about a really annoying orange that speaks (I may say it speaks a lot). Have fun!

The Mysterious Ticking Noise

Hi everyone!
Good luck with your exams! Some of your classmates found this funny video where some famous characters from a well-known book sing a song. Have a look and tell me if you like it!

A job before getting married

Here is the story: There is an 11 year old singer/songwriter who had been asked to go on National Television to sing one of her original songs about a year and a half ago. Her little 5 year old sister (she's six now) was upset and feeling left out because her big sister was doing all these fun and interesting things. This 1 minute clip is part of a 15 minute video where she discusses her views on life and decides she isn't going to let anything come between her and her goals. Pay attention and let me know if you can learn something!

Love is in the air

When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth. Watch this video about a funny love story. Be careful, Cupid's arrows are dangerous!

Bohemian Rhapsody

Hi Bohemian! The Muppets sing this song in a kid-friendly funny short version - it's pretty good but I still pefer the original one by Queen. Enjoy!

Make a difference

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace. It doesn't matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I'm a woman or a man. Lean on the others and peace will prevail on earth.

Spring Term Competition

Sample entry:


My Perfect School

My perfect school is so much fun! There aren't many classes, only P.E., History and Maths, which are my favourites. School starts at about 10 o’clock in the morning. When I get there, I have biscuits and Cola Cao, which are given free in the canteen. Then I play football with my friends until about 11 o'clock.

I only go to class if I want to. If it is boring, I am not obliged to listen. Sometimes they have video consoles like PS3 in the classroom, so when I’m bored I can play my favourite games.

In my perfect school I eat pizza every day for lunch, except Fridays, when we have paella. After lunch, we have a siesta!

In my perfect school we don't have any teachers. Robots give us classes. And of course, there isn't any homework!

So, that’s my perfect school. Maybe it’s your perfect school, too!

Extraordinary!

This video is so amazing and so true... Those who are big dreamers are big achievers, so try on it!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!!!

  We're back! Did you miss your classmates? Do you know what? I'm always curious about other people's New Year's Resolutions. Here are some of those, in no particular order, that I came across and found, well, interesting :
1. I will not look at boys - 13 year old girl
2. I will do less laundry and use more deodorant - Lazy and Smart Fellow
3. With that cloned cow having given birth and everything, I resolve to pay more attention to where my food comes from this next year - Organic Eater
4. I will not puff my entire body to twice its size and screech in her ear after my human has finished watching a horror movie. - Pet Cat
5. I will remember that life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce. - Experienced Bouncer
  Now, the video you're about to watch is a Christmas present for you that the Three Wise Men left at home. Hope you'll like it.
