<br />
I've just heard on the radio that from tomorrow all of you will find in your classroom a very special new schoolmate sitting along with him/her at the desk: an animal beginning with the same first letter in your name!!!<br />
So...let's check quickly among your friends...<br />
....is your name <span style="color: orange;">L</span>apo? You will probably find a little<span style="color: orange;"> Lion</span> sitting beside you! Is your name <span style="color: orange;">T</span>eresa? You might find a <span style="color: orange;">Tortoise</span>! Is your name <span style="color: orange;">G</span>iovanni? A <span style="color: orange;">Giraffe</span> will be waiting for you...and for your yummy snack!!!<br />
Hey kids...this is <i>the real revolution at school</i>, isn't it?<br />
<br />
But...what about the animal sitting beside the <i>teacher</i>...?!?<br />

<span style="color: orange;">Daddy, daddy let me say</span><br />
<span style="color: orange;">Have a happy father's day!</span><br />

<span style="color: orange;"><i>"I'm fine/tired/sick...thank you!...And how are you?"</i></span><br />
Just mime it to your friends while they have to guess which emotion you are trying to describe, then ask another one the same question and go on with the chain!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Animals, fairies, ponies, Lego bricks or transformers, Barbies, books, Pokemon-cards, dolls, Teddy-bears...are only some of the toys kids usually wish for and I guess you know very well how to list them in your letter...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But can you also write down some nice sentences to convince Santa that you really deserve these toys? Put yourself to the test and click on the following link, then help your little brother/sister to write the letter as well!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
today I'm going to tell you the story of 2 young italian girls who met in Bournemouth (England) in summer 1988 at the age of 16-17. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once back in Italy they kept in touch and became penfriends because they lived in 2 different towns: Mantova and Florence. Today they both live in Florence and they are happy blogger-moms: one it's me and the other one is my dear friend Gaia who writes wonderful recipes on her blog <a href="http://www.profumodimamma.it/">www.profumodimamma.it</a> which I have the pleasure to recommend to you.</div>

<i><span style="color: orange;">Believe me and try this cookies recipe! </span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You need the following ingredients:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
150ml sugar, 25ml treacle, 50ml water, 100g butter, 1/2 tablespoon of orange peel (homemade orange powder is ok), 1 heaping tablespoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 tablespoon ground ginger, 1/2 tablespoon of clove powder, 1 teaspoon cardamom seeds (finally shredded), 1 teaspoon bicarbonate and 1/2liter of flour 00</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: orange;">Now you can start!!!</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: orange;">Step1</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Put butter and spices in a bowl. Bring sugar, water and treacle to boil then pour in the bowl, mix all together and let it cool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: orange;">Step 2</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sift soda and flour in the bowl with spices mixture. Knead and eventually add flour to get a smooth dough. Store in the fridge overnight or at least 4/5 hours</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: orange;">Step 3</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Roll the dough 2-3 mm thick and cut out biscuits with the cookie cutter. If you are going to decorate the Christmas tree don't forget to cut an hole on top (you can use a straw) to let the thread pass through.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then bake at 200° for 6-8 minutes. They get harder once cooled.</div>

<span style="color: orange;">Here is our Advent Calendar:</span> my kids made it this morning and then I wrote for them a joke for each day from the 1st to the 24th December...<br />
If I tell you what's behind the 24 little windows...will you keep the secret?<br />
<br />
1 - Have a candy<br />
2 - Make funny faces<br />
3 - Count to 10!<br />
4 - Make a wish<br />
5 - Paint a rainbow<br />
6 - Kiss your brother and/or your sister<br />
7 - Reply to the question: How old are you?<br />
8 - Think of a present for your brother and/or sister<br />
9 - Jump 3 times<br />
10 - Smile!<br />
11 - Have a chocolate<br />
12 - Go to bed very early tonight, S.Lucia is arriving...!<br />
13 - Clean your room and pick up your toys<br />
14 - Watch TV till late tonight (!!!)<br />
15 - What time is it?<br />
16 - Make a "ring-a-ring-o' roses" (girotondo)<br />
17 - Answer the question: What's your name?<br />
18 - Make a Christmas Card for your grandparents<br />
19 - Ask mum and dad for extra pocket-money (!!!)<br />
20 - Reply to the question: What's the weather like today?<br />
21 - Draw an Angel<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
life is very busy nowadays, isn't it? </div>
<div>
After school you have almost every day of the week busy with some other activity such as <span style="color: orange;">homework, sports, playing with friends, music or english classes, visit grandparents, setting or clearing the-table shift at dinner....so many things to remember and to do!</span></div>
<div>
Have you ever had or made a weekly planner? Ever heard of it? </div>
<div>
It's a kind of notebook useful to schedule your plans or goals for the week, here's an example:</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can make one by yourself or together with your brother/sister and then hang it on the wall in your room: it is a cute way to have <i><span style="color: orange;">"everything under control"</span></i><span style="color: orange;">! </span>Just try it!</div>

<span style="color: orange;">Today I've found a funny game for you!</span><br />
It's autumn and Sally Squirrel is collecting nuts for the winter: can you help her collect nuts before it gets too cold?<br />
You can try to do it by connecting to the following link and matching all words and pictures together!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Remember that winter is long so make sure Sally will have enough food! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you do not succeed at once, try again! </div>

...you look outside the window and the weather does not seem to get better?<br />
No way today to go out and play at the park with your friends?<br />
What a <i>boring</i> day!!!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, do repeat this magic verse with me:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: orange;">Boredom, boredom go away, here is something good to play!</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Let's sing a song!</span></b><br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/dE1n6rlTPPk" width="480"></iframe><br />
<br />
Autumn leaves are falling,<br />
falling to the ground<br />
Autumn leaves are falling<br />
yellow, red and brown.<br />
<br />
Falling, falling, falling<br />
to the ground<br />
Falling, falling<br />
yellow, red and brown.<br />
<br />
Pick them up and gather<br />
in a pretty bunch,<br />
autumn leaves are falling<br />
in the parks they crunch.<br />
<br />
Falling, falling, falling<br />
to the ground.<br />
Falling falling:<br />
yellow, red and brown.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Another idea? </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">If you picked up some of those wonderful leaves in the park these days, try to make with them a few funny animals like the following ones!</span></b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Now match these animals names with their own pictures here above:<br />
find out the squirrel, the elephant, the fox, the mouse, the donkey and the penguin!<br />
<i><span style="color: orange;">Enjoy yourself!</span></i><br />

It's Autumn, early November: don't miss the chance to take a walk in a park or in a wood with your family and enjoy the beautiful autumn life of animals and trees. This season is a time of plenty with <span style="color: orange;">berries, fruits,</span> <span style="color: orange;">nuts and seeds</span> everywhere, colours are marvellous and it's also a time of change as some <span style="color: orange;">birds</span> arrive while others leave on migration and other <span style="color: orange;">animals</span> get ready for the cold winter.<br />
