What's a stocking?

Practise Christmas words!

Let's sing! Jingle Bell Rock!

Silent Night

The origin of the Christmas carol we know as Silent Night was a poem that was written in 1816 by an Austrian priest called Joseph Mohr. On Christmas Eve in 1818 in the small alpine village called Oberndorf it is reputed that the organ at St. Nicholas Church had broken. Joseph Mohr gave the poem of Silent Night (Stille Nacht) to his friend Franz Xavier Gruber and the melody for Silent Night was composed with this in mind. The music to Silent Night was therefore intended for a guitar and the simple score was finished in time for Midnight Mass. Silent Night is one of the most famous Christmas carol of all time!

White Christmas

The song White Christmas is one of the most famous and popular of all the Christmas songs. The music and lyrics for White Christmas were written by Irving Berlin in 1942. The lyrics of White Christmas struck a chord with the soldiers fighting in the Second World War and their families who were waiting for them back home.

This week we are celebrating Saint Cecilia's day. We are singing songs and we are dancing in the school theatre. If you want to practise the Rod Steward song ( I'm sailing ) you can click on May. Look for "I am sailing with lyrics" and you can read the song at the same time.
