Recorder Club

During school Miss. Brannan has decided to make a club for recorder players, and after lots of practise she has entered us in the Ilford recorder festival at Saint Mary’s church. Most of the musicians are very good at playing the recorder.

We  practice every Wednesday and anyone who would be interested in joining will be allowed to do so after the recorder festival.

Singing at Stratford

This year in singing club we have been looking up lots of different songs to sing. Some of the songs we are singing are called 'Butterfly, Crop Eating, Magic Travel Machine and walking through the jungle.
Next Monday, for those of us that are in singing club, we are going on a really exiting trip to Stratford. We are all really looking forward to this event  and we are going to all sing with our very best voices.
We now have two new singing teachers Miss. Morgan and Miss. Thorpe.

We’ve got a problem,
We can work it out.
Let’s get together,
That’s what it’s all about.
Got to build it, build it high.
Got to build it, build it high.

We’ve got a problem,
We can work it out.
Let’s get together,
That’s what it’s all about.
Got to build it, build it high.
Got to build it, build it high.

Don’t give in because you fail your first attempt.
Don’t start shouting, what’s the point in argument?
Let’s stand united, take the challenge in our stride.
Just remember that we’re on the same side.

We’ve got a problem,
We can work it out.
Let’s get together,
That’s what it’s all about.
Got to build it, build it high.
Got to build it, build it high.

Don’t start blaming someone else when things go wrong.
That’s wasting precious time and we don’t have too long.
No use in panic when the situation’s grim,
Trust in teamwork and let the game begin!

We’ve got a problem,
We can work it out.
Let’s get together,
That’s what it’s all about.
Got to build it, build it high.
Got to build it, build it high.
Build it high,
Build it high,
Build it high.

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free.
I wish I could break all the chains holding me.
I wish I could say all the things that I should say
Say ‘em loud, say ‘em clear
For the whole round world to hear.

I wish I could share all the love that’s in my heart.
Remove all the bars that keep us apart.
I wish you could know what it means to be me,
Then you’d see, and agree
That ev’ry man should be free.

I wish I could give like I’m longing to give.
I wish I could live like I’m longing to live.
I wish I could do all the things that I can do
And tho’ I’m way overdue
I’d be starting anew.

Well I wish I could be like a bird in the sky.
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly.
Oh I’d soar to the sun and look down at the sea,
Then I’d sing ‘cos I know
How it feels to be free.
Then I’d sing ‘cos I know
How it feels to be free.
Yes I’d sing ‘cos I know
How it feels to be free!

Shadow

Verse 1
Something’s right behind me,
Following me round,
Something dark and fuzzy,
Sticking to the ground.

Chorus
Don’t look now, it’s creeping and gliding,
Don’t look now, it’s slipping and sliding,
Let’s turn round and catch it while it’s hiding!
What a funny shadow!

Verse 2
Running, jumping, hopping,
Like an acrobat
Creeping round the garden
Frightening the cat!

Chorus

Verse 3
Sitting in the sunshine
Playing in the sand
Like a little echo
Always close at hand.
Chorus

Verse 4
When I’m in my bedroom
Gives me quite a scare
Crouching round the corner
Waiting on the stair.
