Raising the American Flag Today...

This morning was something really different, something that was also really good... Raising the flag of the United States in Scoil Talbot! Who would have thought! Of course we did it as a symbol of our huge heart-felt thanks to the company Xilinx, who have been so generous to the children of Talbot over the years.

And so here's a couple of links to stuff you might want to look at about America. Let me know if you find other really good sites for learning about America.

Enjoy!

• A Day in the Life of a 6th Class Girl in Chicago
• Life in the USA, as created by the US government 
• A free book with good pictures for easy reading on the History of America
• All you could ever want to know about the wonderful celebration of "Thanksgiving" in November each year (some really good and short videos)

New Dance Moves For 6th Class 2014

Hi everyone,

So, good work on kidblog.org/mrs2014. Now it's time to use this site a bit too!

Here's a couple of the Dance Videos that we watched today. Enjoy!!

1. My Favourite: The Lads in Oakland... such movements! Wow! I'd love to be able to do any. Can one of you teach me? :) 
2. The Lads of Diversity in the Final of 2009 (Britain's Got Talent! [sure has!])... great FUN, and fun is so important when dancing.
3. An extra one: the Best One To Practice To... this guy is a great teacher: give it a go at home: it's not just good oxygen going into your brain, it's... FUN! :)
