La Vaca Lola and additional lyrics for Caballo Blanco

In Kindergarten we are learning the sounds and the names of different animals that we may find around the farm.  One of my favourite simple songs is La Vaca Lola.

The Grade 3s' song Mi Caballo Blanco is sounding pretty amazing. Here are the lyrics:

Es mi caballo blanco,

Como un amanecer.

Siempre juntitos vamos,

Es mi amigo mas fiel.

Mi caballo, mi caballo, galopando va.

Mi caballo, mi caballo, se va y se va.

En alas de una dicha,

mi caballo volo.

Y en brazos de una pena,

También el me llevó.

Mi caballo, mi caballo, galopando va.

Mi caballo, mi caballo, se va y se va.

Al Agua Pato

Since our Div 1 kids are swimming this week this song is a fun one for the Grade 3s to learn!  However, you can learn this song at home no matter what grade you are in!

Al agua pato

El que quiera nadar un rato,

como un pato, como un pez.

Que se saque los zapatos,

como yo me los saqué.

Al agua pato, pato,

sin los zapatos, patos.

Al agua pato, pato,

y al agua pez.

El que quiera nadar un rato,

como un pato, como un pez,

Tiene que mover los brazos

Y al mismo tiempo los pies.

Un poquito panza abajo

y otro poco panza al sol,

Cada cual a su manera

goza de la natación.

Al agua pato, pato,

sin los zapatos, patos.

Al agua pato, pato,

y al agua pez.

Songs

 Dear families,

I have a couple of songs that the children have been working on for fun.  

The Grade 1s are singing Un Pulpito

 

Some of the images don't match the vocabulary, so please ask your children what the words mean.  We have gone over the translations so they should be able to answer you.

The Grade 2s have been working on Soy Una Pizza.  

Napi and the Rock

 The Grades 1-3 kids watched the story of Napi and the Rock.  This was a collaborative performance presented by Making Treaty 7 and the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra.

My treat was to watch the children as they watched and listened to the performance.  I am attaching the video for your enjoyment as well.

Did you every wonder why you had to learn the recorder in Elementary School?
