REVOLUTION by The Beatles
Next January 30, on School Day of Peace, third grade is going to perform the song "Revolution" by the Beatles. Here you have two videoclips with subtitles both in English and Spanish. The man in the first video performs this song using sign language. Enjoy the tune.
El curs de tercer actuarà durant el Dia de la Pau cantant la cançó "Revolution" de los Beatles. Aquí teniu dos videos amb els subtítols en Castellà i Anglès. L'home del primer video interpreta aquesta cançó fent servir el llenguatge de signes amb les mans. Gaudiu de la melodia.
LYRICS
You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright
You say you got a real solution
Well you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright
You say you'll change the constitution
Well you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright
THEATRE PLAY
SYNOPSIS
Michael and Amy are two teenagers that tell false stories to two children from Lexington neighbourhood to scare and frighten them away. However, they don't know yet that one of their stories will become real: the character of Old Clarence, an old woman that takes the soul of young children to live forever, will come alive. Michael and Amy will fight her to avoid that she carries out her plan on the night that every child knocks on their neighbour's door for trick or treat, on the most horrifying night of all, on the night of Halloween.
El passat dijous 10 de gener, l'alumnat de cinquè i sisè va anar a veure una obra de teatre. El nom de l'obra va ser "What a Halloween night". Va ser molt divertida. Aquí teniu un petit resum de la història.
SINOPSI
Michael i Amy són dos adolescents que expliquen històries falses a dos nens del barri de Lexington per espantar-los i fer-los fugir de por. Però... el que no saben encara és que una de les seves històries es convertirà en realitat; el personatge de la vella Clarence, una senyora gran que se’n duu l’ànima dels joves per poder viure eternament, prendrà vida. Michael i Amy lluitaran contra ella per evitar que porti endavant els seu pla en la nit on tota la canalla pica a la porta del veí preguntant “Broma o regal”, en la nit més terrorífica de totes, en la nit de Halloween.
