My Little Scribbles…

Comment if you know any songs that make you cry

Do you know what makes me cry … The song  ‘ Our Last Summer’  when Colin Firth sings it in the movie  ‘Mamma Mia!’

I am not going to make a link for you to go onto the song because I’ll just cry  *Waaa Waaa Waaa!*

I’ve been learning loads of Irish songs because in school it is ‘Seachtain na Gailge’ … ‘Irish Week’

Here is the National anthem

Sinne Fianna Fáil
A tá fé gheall ag Éirinn,
buion dár slua
Thar toinn do ráinig chugainn,
Fé mhóid bheith saor.
Sean tír ár sinsir feasta
Ní fhagfar fé’n tiorán ná fé’n tráil
Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil,
Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil
Le guna screach fé lámhach na bpiléar
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann.

I’ll be posting loads more irish songs

P.S My teacher is from Co. Kerry

Some of my small but fun friends had a great day today with playdough, here are some pics…

Here is a video to go with the song …

Its not the official video

… I don’t think

Here are the lyrics, it is really sad!

Two little boys had two little toys
Each had a wooden horse
Gaily they played each summer’s day
Warriors both of course
One little chap then had a mishap
Broke off his horse’s head
Wept for his toy then cried with joy
As his young playmate said

Did you think I would leave you crying
When there’s room on my horse for two
Climb up here Jack and don’t be crying
I can go just as fast with two
When we grow up we’ll both be soldiers
And our horses will not be toys
And I wonder if we’ll remember
When we were two little boys

Long years had passed, war came so fast
Bravely they marched away
Cannon roared loud, and in the mad crowd
Wounded and dying lay
Up goes a shout, a horse dashes out
Out from the ranks so blue
Gallops away to where Joe lay
Then came a voice he knew

Did you think I would leave you dying
When there’s room on my horse for two
Climb up here Joe, we’ll soon be flying
I can go just as fast with two
Did you say Joe I’m all a-tremble
Perhaps it’s the battle’s noise
But I think it’s that I remember
When we were two little boys

Do you think I would leave you dying
There’s room on my horse for two
Climb up here Joe, we’ll soon by flying
Back to the ranks so blue
Can you feel Joe I’m all a tremble
Perhaps it’s the battle’s noise
But I think it’s that I remember
When we were two little boys

In school I am learning about Nelson Mandela

1. I learned that he was imprisioned on Robben Island

2. His prision number was 46664

3. His real name was Rolihlahla Mandela

It is suprisingly interesting
