Dear Headteacher,

Everyone needs a little break occasionally – especially teachers – and especially at this time of year!

So here is a link to our Youtube ‘Dog Christmas Song’ – written from the perspective of a dog who is about to become a Christmas present! Lyrics are on each slide so pupils (and teachers) can just sing along, Karaoke style, and have a bit of fun with a festive theme. Goes really well with a cup of coffee!

The song is so new that the vocal track download link is not yet available – but if you want a download (£0.99) keep an eye out on the Youtube link – it will be there shortly. Proceeds will be shared with the Dogs Trust.

If you are wondering why Sing In French is sending you an English song, that is because we couldn’t resist writing this one! We love dogs and the song is a positive message about being kind to dogs. It was inspired by the Dogs Trust strapline ‘ A Dog is for life not just for Christmas’

French Stuff
Our unique French musical show ‘Pinot La Pantomime’ for schools is now being performed in a London Fringe theatre – the next scheduled performance in 11th January. Free places are available for any interested teachers but we need to know very soon if you would like teacher places.

The show is one hour long and there will performances at 11.00 and 3.00.

It is a riot of music and fun all in French and will provide inspiration to perform the show in school. The show includes 18 of our educational songs and includes exciting Cossack Dancing, RAP, Bluegrass, Tap dancing, Ragtime, the Charleston, Rock n Roll and Twist!

Don’t forget, free teacher places are available on 11th January 2015 but we will need to know very quickly. Just email marieatallah@btinternet.com

And finally – we were invited to Cambridge by Routes into Languages East this July to perform the show and then mentor 6 Cambridge schools in their own performance.
Here are the highlights.
