These songs will help improve your vocabulary and spelling. So, please learn them well.

1. The Phonicals

Lyrics:

Making words; we just love making words

Combining all together making words

Every single day, we read and write and play -- the phonicals

We love to be read the phonicals

Sounds that can be said the phonicals

We're written everywhere,

Words and stories we do share -- with you

With you, hoo... hoo...

Making words, we just love making words

Stringing words together making words

Come and join us, and read and write and play with the phonicals

Let's make lots and lots of words

Let's make lots and lots of words

Let's make lots and lots of words

2. Champion Of The Spelling Bee

Lyrics

Mom, dad, look at me

I've got something cool that you just gotta see

Mom, dad, look at me

I'm the champion of the spelling bee

Is it French, is it Latin

Does it come from the Greek

Can you tell me of its derivation

Is it "ooh", is it "oh"

Is it "aah" that you speak

Do I have correct pronunciation

I've been reading every night from the dictionary

Memorizing every word

My teacher says that I could be extraordinary

If I just would put in the work

Mom, dad, look at me

I've got something cool that you just gotta see

Mom, dad, look at me

I'm the champion of the spelling bee

Is it "C", is it "S"

Could this one be a "Z"

In my mind it's gotten so confusing

Seems like all the other kids are smarter than me

I think a couple find this all amusing

I've been reading every night from an old thesaurus

Memorizing every word

Who am I to think that I could really do this

What could be more absurd

Mom, dad, look at me

I've got something cool that you just gotta see

Mom, dad, look at me

I'm the champion of the spelling bee

Mom, dad, look at me

I've got something cool that you just gotta see

Mom, dad, look at me

I'm the champion of the spelling bee

I'm the champion of the spelling bee

I'm the champion of the spelling bee

You can also watch the video to sing together with me (in a slower tempo)

Enjoy the songs!

Week 4 - School Anthem (Class 2 Holiday Homework)

Hello students,

This week we will learn our School Anthem. I know we have been trying to learn it since you were in Class 1. Now that you are in class 2, it is even more important that you learn it by heart with the correct tune.

When you sing the School Anthem, you must stand straight, and you must place your right hand on your chest. Sing it with pride as a smart Columban would.

Lyrics

[Chorus]

We sing praises of you St. Columba,

Scholars of Columba’s we,

Dare to be wise always

Sincere and constant we.

This is our motto that guides us

Through life eternally,

This truth we learn in our days of youth

Gives us strength in fraternity.

[Verse 1]

With glory glows the spirit of S.C.S.

Marking all our efforts with true success

And our Alma Mater seals us as a chosen band

We all work together for the glory of our land.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

Pride in Carrying our banners of green and gold

Banners that will lead us towards, all our goals

Service to others and our nation’s good

We all come together in godly brotherhood.
