Artists for Haiti: new version of We are the world

Marina Ramos from 1ºESO B told me about this song that some artists have recorded to remember Haiti after the terrible earthquake which destroyed the country some months ago. It was recorded on February 1st in the same studio where the original version of "We are the world" was sung by Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie and all their friends 25 years earlier.
I'm sure you know many of the artists singing in this video. Enjoy it, the song is so beautiful!

Song of the week: Michael Jackson's We are the world

Some students from 5ºB have asked me to teach you this song, written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie 25 years ago. They knew that they wanted a song which would be easy to sing and memorable, and the result was one of the greatest hits of all times.The song asks the world to remember the poorest people on the Earth making it a better place to live.

Beware of online predators!!

Children, during the last days we have discussed a very important subject: the dangers of the internet.Julie, the victim of an online predator when she was 13, tells us in a video that the internet is a tool that must be used properly, since it is like a knife: it can be very helpful, but it can also cut you. SO BE VERY RESPONSIBLE WHEN SURFING THE WEB AND FOLLOW MY ADVICE:
- never talk to people you don't know. Online predators always lie about their age, sex or identity and will try to manipulate you.
- don't look for information which is not appropriate for people your age. You know what I mean.
- never trust anybody you meet on the internet more than your parents, family or friends.It can be very dangerous and you can be harmed.
- anyone can see what you post on the web: family, friends, and not so friendly people, so THINK BEFORE YOU POST.

Song of the week: Stand by me

We sing this song most Fridays and I know you love it, but, have you ever listened to the original version by Ben E.King?

He is perhaps best known as the singer and co-composer of "Stand by Me," a U.S. top 10 hit in both 1961 and 1987 and a #1 hit in the UK in 1987, and as one of the principal lead singers of the R&B vocal group The Drifters.
