Mindfulness: An introduction

Over the coming weeks we will be beginning an introduction to mindfulness. Mindful awareness exercises help us develop concentration and self-awareness.

RED IS THE ROSE – Traditional

We will be singing our new song which is a ballad. It was made popular by the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. The melody is the same as a Scottish song about Loch Londonderry. The lyrics of this Irish ballad are very simple, telling a love story which leads to a unexpected sad ending. The lovers swear love and eternal devotion and then in the final verse we learn that they have to separate.

Question: What forces them to go deprecate ways? 

Red is the Rose (Traditional)

Chorus

Red is the Rose by yonder garden grows

And fair is the lily of the valley

Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne

But my love is fairer than any.
T’was down by Killarney’s green woods that we strayed

And the moon and the stars they were shining

The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair

And she swore she’d be my love forever.
Chorus
It’s not for the parting that my sister pains

It’s not for the grief of my mother

It is all for the loss of my bonnie Irish lass

That my heart is breaking forever.
Chorus
Answer: Emigration forced them to separate.❤️

THE EIGHT PARTS OF SPEECH ….. A POEM FOR CHILDREN: WRITTEN BY JOHN NEALE IN 1886

The eight parts of speech are what you’ll hear Listen very carefully and I’ll make it real clear

Three little words we often see, 

An ARTICLE a, an and the.

NOUN’s the name of anything,

As school or garden, hoop or string.

ADJECTIVES tell the kind of noun, 

As great, small, pretty, white or brown.

Instead of nouns the PRONOUNS stand, 

His head, his face, my arm, your hand.

VERBS tell of something being done, 

To read, write, count, sing, jump or run.

How things are done, the ADVERBS tell, 

As slowly, quickly, ill or well.

A PREPOSITION stands before A noun, 

As in or through the door.

CONJUNCTIONS join the nouns together,

 As men and children, wind or weather.

The INTERJECTION shows surprise,

 As Oh, how pretty! Ah how wise!

I’m not your teacher but I sure try to teach 

The very important parts of speech.

Poem: The Parts of Speech

THE PARTS OF SPEECH (Anon)
Every name is called a NOUN,

As field and fountain, street and town

In place of noun the PRONOUN stands

As he and she can clap their hands

The ADJECTIVE describes a thing,

As magic wand and bridal ring

The VERB means action, something done –

To read, to write, to jump, to run

How things are done, the ADVERBS tell,

As quickly, slowly, badly, well

The PREPOSITION shows relation,

As in the street, or at the station

CONJUNCTIONS join, in many ways,

Sentences, words, or phrase and phrase

The INTERJECTION cries out, ‘Hark!

I need an exclamation mark!’

Through Poetry, we learn how each

of these make up THE PARTS OF SPEECH .
