The spark

"That is all Peter is -The spark I got from you" 

(dedication from J.M.Barrie to the Llewelyn Davies boys who inspired Barrie to write Peter Pan) 

Sing along and watch the video. You will learn why you should never smile to a crocodile.

This is the statue of Peter Pan that you can see in Kensington Gardens (London). The statue is placed exactly where J.M. Barrie wanted it to be.
 As you all know, Barrie is the author of Peter Pan, he lived near this part of the park, and we know that he used to come here to walk along with his San Bernardo dog (who would become the Darling family's nanny).
It was in Kensington Gardens where he met the Llewelyn Davies boys who inspired him to write Peter Pan.
Barrie (1860-1937) donated the copyrights of Peter Pan to The Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity.
You can read a short Barrie's biography in its website.
 Peter Pan:Download the audio book from books should be free.
Or go to a bookshop and buy the book, if you prefer.

A Mom's day

Here you have a parody of the oberture of the opera  William Tell . I couldn't help to post it here because it is fun and because it is always a good idea to see life from a different point of view, "walking in your mum's shoes" , as they say in English. I hope you smile a lot with the video and forget the examinations for a while.
Mum or Mom?
Here you have the activities.
Enjoy.
