President Obama plays some Thanksgiving football

"If you're lucky enough to spend some time on Thanksgiving watching football, you might catch a glimpse of President Barack Obama tossing around the pigskin. Obama lent his time and athletic prowess to the NFL's Play 60 campaign today for a commercial shoot with some NFL stars."

4 ever and ever

Can you imagine
A life without friends?
Really no one can
Love is what everyone pretends
And finding a friend who…

Raises up anyone
Agrees with our decisions
Cheers and makes us laugh a lot
Helps in bad times
Envisions us an a whole
Lives to brighten our days

Can this be true?
A true friend
To help me like you
If you stay, I stay
A friendship like ours is 4ever, everybody will say! *

My name is ...

This song was the starting point of our students' fantastic assignments. Just have a look at them below the video and original lyrics.






Catarina Marques, Number 1, 11th Grade, Class D
My name is K
I live so far away
I live in my world
A place you haven’t seen before
If you need to be alone
In some place that you own

Just don’t ask me where it is (3x)

I think I created that world
Just to live my dream
To give up of everything else,
Trying to be the queen.
People hurt you and see you cry
But in that world there is no lie

They won’t hurt you anymore (3x)

Yes, I’m okay
I walked into my world again
If you ask me where I am
I really will not pretend
I guess I’ll say in my place,
Knowing that I’m not insane

So don’t ask me where I am (3x)

My name is K
I live so far away
I live in my world
A place you haven’t seen before
If you need to be alone
In some place that you own

Just don’t ask me where it is (3x)

People hurt you and see you cry
But in that world there is no lie


Diana, 10th Grade Class D
My name is Diana
I live in my dream
I live far away from you
But I think you may have seen me before
If you see something late at night
Some kind of shine some kind of light

Just don´t ask me what it was (X3)

I think it´s cause I´m shy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it´s because I´m crazy
I try not to act too proud
It only hurts until you cry
And after that you don´t ask why

Just don´t ask me how I am (X3)

Yes, I think I´m fine
I walked to my dream again
If you ask me what´s wrong
It´s not your business anyway
I guess I need to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing wrong

Just don´t ask me how I am
