50 years ago, on 30th September, 1960, the animated sitcom The Flintstones was started on ABC. The series is about a working-class family and their neighbours, living in Bedrock, a Stone Age city: Fred and Wilma Flintstone, their daughter Pebbles and their pet dinosaur Dino; their neighbours Barney and Betty Rubbles and their son Bamm-Bamm.
Flintstones… Meet the Flintstones,
They’re a modern stoneage family.
From the town of Bedrock,
They’re a page right out of history.
Let’s ride with the family down the street.
Thru the courtesy of Fred’s two feet.
When you’re with the Flintstones,
have a yabba dabba doo time,
a dabba doo time,
we’ll have a gay old time.
We need to leave our summer memories aside and start thinking about books, exams, homework… It’s not fair, life is much easier during the holidays, but we have to be strong and think that next year’s holidays are near.
The school year is almost finished but the remaining days are the hardest. You need to work hard if you want to spend the summer lying on the beach sunbathing, so why not do a little bit of revision? You can visit the webpages that are on the links menu. You’ll find grammar explanations and exercises, vocabulary revision, games, listenings…
On the 30th of January we celebrate the School Day of Non Violence and Peace. The purpose of this day is to point out the importance of education in and for tolerance, solidarity, respect for human rights, non violence and peace. And the importance of schools as instruments of peace and understanding between people of different formation, race, culture and religion.
