Year 6 Parts of the body - Igor le gorille - le corps

Send me your comments and tell me which parts of the body you hear IN ENGLISH :)

Les paroles:

Peux-tu faire des gros pas, comme un éléphant?

Peux-tu bouger les mains, comme un gros serpent?

On secoue les bras, on secoue les pieds

Avec Igor la gorille, on va rigoler!

Tu gonfles ta poitrine, comme le fait Tarzan

Tu balances les bras, comme un orang-outan!

Bouge la tête, bouge la tête de tous les côtés,

Maintenant nous sommes prêts pour se metter à sauter,
OUAIS!!!

Saute, saute, saute, saute...yé!!!

Hop, hop, hop, hop...yé!!!

Jump, jump, jump, jump... yé!!!

Danse, danse avec Igor et on recommence.

Mets ta trompe dans les airs pour bien respirer,

Lève les bras très, très haut pour t'oxygéner,

On secoue les bras, on secoue les pieds,

Avec Igor la gorille, on va s'éclater!



On se calme, on se calme...ouf...ouf...

On respire, on respire...ouf...ouf...

On s'étire, on s'étire...ouf...ouf

Et on recommence...

Galette des Rois recette - Youtube recipe :)

Le 6 janvier - L'Epiphanie / La fête des Rois

La Fête des Rois Fête réligieuse, ce jour-là on mange un gâteau spécial, "la galette des rois".   On cache un petit objet appelé une fève dans le gâteau.  La personne qui le trouve devient roi ou renne.   A celebration of Christ being visited by the Magi, the epiphany was set to January the 6th by Pope Julius II. Also known as le jour des Rois, this is the day when the three kings are traditionally added next to the crib. Over the years, this religious festival overlapped with pagan traditions that went back to the Roman Saturnalia. From the Middle Ages, the epiphany has been celebrated with a special Twelfth Night cake: la galette des rois, literally the King's cake. The galette differed according to the regions: for example it was made of puff pastry in Paris, but made of brioche and shaped as a crown in Provence. Under Louis XIV, the Church considered this festival as a pagan celebration and as an excuse for indulgence, and it was subsequently banned. To get around this ban, it became la fête du bon voisinage (literally, 'neighbourly relations day'). This culinary tradition even survived the French Revolution when it became the ‘Gâteau de l’Êgalité (the equality cake), as Kings were not very popular in those years! The cake contains a lucky charm (une fève) which originally was a bean, a symbol of fertility. Whoever found the charm in their slice of cake, became King or Queen and had to buy a round of drinks for all their companions. This sometimes resulted in stingy behaviour and to avoid buying a round of drinks, the potential King or Queen very often swallowed the bean! This is why towards the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, the lucky charm started being made of china. The charm can take any shape or form and can either be very plain or more sophisticated (glazed or handpainted). It sometimes represents a religious figure such as the baby Jesus, but it can be virtually anything. Little horseshoe shapes are popular as they are thought to bring luck. Although nowadays very often made of plastic, old-fashioned china charms are still used and they have become a collectable item. The modern Galette des Rois is made of puff pastry and can be plain or filled with frangipane, an almond-flavoured paste. It is sold in all French bakeries and eating the galette at the beginning of January is still a very popular tradition and an opportunity for families and friends to gather around the table. The youngest person in the room (usually a child) hides under the table and shouts out which guest each slice of cake should be given to. The person who finds the fève in their slice of galette becomes the King or Queen and is given a golden paper crown. The King or Queen then has to choose his Queen or her King, by dropping the lucky charm in their glass.

Samira Said - live track from one of Morocco's biggest recording artists

Watch the clip and please feel free to comment.  I am also interested to find other cool Moroccan artists - so get searching on Youtube! :)

Samira Said

Early life

Born in Rabat,in 1960 Morocco, Samira began singing at an early age. She grew up in Rabat in Morocco was praised for her beauty and charming personality. Her parents realized this and they began entering her in singing competitions. Always a favorite of the judges, she often won, and launched her professional singing career from this. Soon after she was the most popular singer in the country.

However, she decided to move to Egypt so she could make a greater impact on the entire Arab world. Many producers took her on and she began recording many Arab favorites. Before moving to Egypt, Samira had had several successful Moroccan singles such as "Kifash Tlakina", "Fayetli sheftek shi marra" and "Sarkouh". Samira met the famous Egyptian singer Abdel El halim and Faiza Ahmed and they convinced her parents that she had to go to Cairo if she wanted to have a real singing career. In 1979 Samira moved to Egypt.

Early career

Samira began singing professionally at the age of 9. Encouraged by her family, she began her career by participating in talent shows. Her first appearance on television was in the show "Mawaheb".

In a short time, Samira Said, as she is known in Morocco, became one of the leading names in her home country. Her best known works include "Maghlouba" and "Wa'ady".

Said's ambitions extended beyond Morocco and following the advice of her idol and friend, Abdul Halim Hafez, she moved to Egypt to expand her career.

International career

In 1980 Said sang Morocco's first (and so far only) entry in the Eurovision Song Contest. Her song "Bitaqat Hub" came 18th out of 19.

In the early 1980s, Said recorded a song called "Al hob Elli Ana Aichah", composed by Mohamad Sultan. She went on to record with big names in the music scene in Egypt, including Baligh Hamdi, Helmi Bakr and Mohamad Al-Mouji.

Said's performance of "Alemnah Al hob", on Layali Television in 1983, is credited with making her well known in Egypt. Said is known for her selection of songs and accompanists, working with several well known composers and lyricists. As a result, many of her songs are critically acclaimed, such as "Asmar malak", "Malak moch zay aweydak", "Sayidati anissati sadati", "Ech gab li gab", "El Leila dee", "Min ghir sabab", "Amrak ajib", "Al gani Baad Yomeen", "Mosh Hatnazel Anak" and "Alf Leila wal Leila".
