"MY HANDS " poem by Perrine Schlumpf (au pair from Sweden)

My hands

My hands upon my head I place,
On my shoulders, on my face;
On my hips I place them - so,
Then bend down to touch my toe.
Now I raise them up so high,
Make my fingers fairly fly,
Now I clap them, one, two, three.
Then I fold them silently.

Help children to WRITE their DIARY!

Diary writing can be fun and very useful for children learning English. They can start from a simple sentence :
"I fly my kite in the sky", "Mum has baked a lovely chocolate cake", " I have a new friend...!" and everyday something different comes up. After a few weeks they can revise the writings and have fun!!! Difficulties increase with age and children skills.
