London Town
Paul McCartney & Wings

Walking down the sidewalk on a purple afternoon
I was accosted by a barker playing a simple tune
Upon his flute - toot toot toot toot

Silver rain was falling down
Upon the dirty ground of London Town

People pass me by on my imaginary street
Ordinary people it's impossible to meet
Holding conversations that are always incomplete
Well, I don't know
Oh, where are there places to go
Someone somewhere has to know
I don't know

Out of work again the actor entertains his wife
With the same old stories of his ordinary life
Maybe he exaggerates the trouble and the strife
Well, I don't know
Oh, where are there places to go
Someone somewhere has to know

Crawling down the pavement on a Sunday afternoon
I was arrested by a rozzer wearing a pink balloon
About his foot - toot toot toot toot

Silver rain was falling down
Upon the dirty ground of London Town

Someone somewhere has to know
Silver rain was falling down
Upon the dirty ground of London Town 

Good luck!

Today all the 3rd year students are starting their exams so ...

Cartoon!

Last Friday, during the end of year celebration, we watched a special cartoon all together. 

The cartoon was in English and it was about two stories: The hole of the wind and The hidden treasure.

The stories were invented by the students of class III D. 

After having created the stories they recorded them with their own voices. The teacher of Art Maurizio Mazzoli collected everything and ... this was the result.

Watch and enjoy it
