The Duke Of York: Doubtless one of the "must see" bars in Belfast.

 Hello everyone,

It's doubtless that one of the "must see" bars in Belfast is "The Duke of York" where you can sample the real flavour of Belfast. I loved going there Fridays and Saturdays in order to enjoy the live music and the worm and cosy atmosphere.


















Have a look at all the signs around the world. What can you see?





It's incredible the unique decoration inside the bar: mirrors, clocks, bottles, glasses, lamps.











I loved all the music, but the crowd got crazy when they played:

"Take me home, country roads" by John Denver.




Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison also known as "The Belfast lion".

Who is the current Duke of York? And Prince of Wales?

Kansas "Dust in the wind" and Crowded House "Don't dream it's over".

Hello everyone,


The song called "Dust in the wind" by Kansas can summarise everything. 
The rock band became popular in the 1970s. "Dust in the wind" is one of their hit singles.




I love another rock band, formed in Melbourne (Australia) in 1985, called Crowded House.
This is one of my favourite songs which is also very popular.





And This is a tribute to Led Zeppelin, a British Band formed in London in 1968, which composed "Stairway to Heaven. This was at the Kennedy Center Honors. Incredible performance.

TPR songs: One finger, one thumb keep moving.

 Hello everyone,

Do you know the meaning of TPR? The acronym TPR means total physical response.

Students can learn a language by listening to and carrying out instructions according to Dr. James Asher. His theory says that a language can be more easily learnt if we look how children learn their first language.

TPR songs is a good way to keep young learners moving and keep them warm.

We have adapted this song to practice it in the playground during periods of ventilation.

Students also have fun at the same time they learn.

The Hokey Pohey or Hokey Cokey

 Hello everyone,

It' really cold in the classrooms and there are some songs we can sing and dance outside (if it's not raining or snowing) to warm up and ventilate the classroom.

REMEMBER: VENTILATION IS KEY.  It's important to let the air flows from the classroom through the door of the classroom opposite.












Let's go outside and do the "Hokey Pokey" song.



There are hundreds of versions of this song. 
The British Council "Learn Ennglish website" has got a different one called "El juego de Hokey Pokey".
