Christmas carols


Aquí podéis ver los villancicos que vamos a ensayar para el certamen navideño. El próximo viernes 20 de diciembre iremos a ver a sus Majestades los tres Reyes Magos y a Papá Noel, y durante este encuentro podremos cantar un villancico que he seleccionado para cada nivel.
Los niños y niñas de tres años cantarán Rudolph the red nosed reindeer
Los alumnos/as de 4 años, el de Jingle bells.
Y los más mayores, All I want for Christmas os you
Van a disfrutar mucho ensayándolo y después cantándolo delante de Santa Claus y los magos de Oriente con grandísima ilusión!!!










CHRISTMAS CAROLS LYRICS:

Rudolph de red nosed reindeer

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
but do you recall
the most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose
and if you ever saw it
you would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names
they never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright
won´t you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
you´ll go down in history"

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose
and if you ever saw it
you would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names
they never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright
won´t you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
you´ll go down in history"

Jingle Bells (adaptada para los peques)

Dashing through the snow
in a one-horse open sleigh
oér the fields we go
laughing all the way
bells on bobtails ring
making spirits bright 
oh, what fun it is to ride and sing
a leighing song tonight

Jingle bells, jingle bells
jingle all the way
oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one-horse open sleigh, hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells
jingle all the way
oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one-horse open sleigh (2)
oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one-horse open sleigh

All I want for Christmas (versión acortada para los peques)

I don´t want a lot for Christmas
there is just one thing I need
I don´t care about the presents
underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
more than you could ever know
make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you! 

I don´t want a lot for Christmas
there is just one thing I need
I don´t care about the presents
underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
more than you could ever know
make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you!

I don´t need to hand my stockin
there upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won´t make me happy
with a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
more than you could ever know
make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you!

I won´t ask for much this Christmas
I won´t even wish for snow
and I, I just wanna keep on waiting
underneath the mistletoe!
I won´t make a list and send it
to the North Pole for St Nick
I won´t even stay awake
to hear those magic reindeer click

Cause I just want you here tonight
holding on me so tight
what more can I do?
oh baby, all I want for Christmas is you




The elf on the shelf and more


Hi everyone!!
Hoy os voy a hablar de una tradición navideña muy extendida en Estados Unidos, se trata del elfo sobre el estante o The elf on the shelf . Es un elfo bastante traviesillo que cada día aparece en un lugar diferente de la casa, y su misión es vigilar a los niños y niñas para informar por la noche a Papá Noel. No se le debe tocar ya que podría perder sus habilidades mágicas. También es conocido por hacer alguna que otra travesura o broma a los niños (usar su pasta de dientes, pintarles un bigotillo mientras están durmiento, cambiarles la leche o los cereales de sitio...), esto ya depende de la creatividad de los papis y mamis 😂

Si no conocíais esta tradición y queréis saber más sobre ella aquí os dejo un link para que cojáis ideas.

Yo tengo un elfo e intentaré colocarlo en alguna clase durante el recreo, pero logísticamente me es imposible hacerlo en todas las clases, pero os animo a poner un elfo durante las vacaciones en casa, les va a encantar!

Además, os dejo algunos recursos educativos sobre este tema por si queréis trabajarlo con los peques durante las vacaciones

Y para terminar os dejo el enlace de youtube para que podáis disfrutar del clásico del Dr. Seuss: The Grinch, al que todos los niños/as terminan tomando cariño

Last friday it was the Fruit day, so we shared a huge variety of fruits and enjoyed watching a lot of fruits videos.
I would like to show you a cartoon I used to watch when I was a child, it brings me so many good memories: Los Fruitis, and other fun english videos. Enjoy them all!!

Ghostbusters song

Lyrics

Ghostbusters
If there´s something strange in your neighborhood
Who you gonna call? (ghostbusters)
If there´s something weird
And it don´t look good
Who you gonna call? (ghostbusters)

I ain´t afraid of no ghost
I ain´t afraid of no ghost

If you´re seeing things running through your head
Who you gonna call? (ghostbusters)
An invisible man
Sleeping in your bed
Who you gonna call? (ghostbusters)

I ain´t afraid of no ghost
I ain´t afraid of no ghost

Who you gonna call? (ghostbusters)
If you´re all alone
pick up the phone
and call ghostbusters

I ain´t afraid of no ghost
I hear it like the girls
I ain´t afraid of no ghost
yeah yeah yeah yeah

Who you gonna call? (ghostbusters)

If you´ve had a dose of a freaky ghost baby
you better call ghostbusters

Lemme tell...
