A Light NightYou’ve no need to light a night-light,On a light night like tonight.For a night-light’s slight light,And tonight’s a night that’s light.When a night’s light,like tonight’s light,It is really not quite right,To light night-lights with their slight lights,On a light night like tonight.

And don’t take flight on a quiet night,On a quiet night like tonight.For a quiet night’s flight might,Show you that night flights,Even slight flights,On quiet nights,Are fright nights,So, if you can take flightFly on bright nights,For a night night’s flight’s alright.

Goodnight!

To sit in solemn silence in a dull dark dock,In a pestilential prison with a life-long lock,Awaiting the sensation of a short sharp shock,From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big, black, block.

She says she shall sew a sheet.

What a to do to die today,At a minute or two to two,A thing distinctly hard to say,But a harder thing to do,For they’ll beat a tattoo at two today,A rat a tat at two,And the dragon will come when he hears the drum,At a minute or two to two today,At a minute or two today.

I Have a Dream – Martin Luther KingI have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

The BasicsThe essence of good speech is good breathing. Good breathing is helped by good posture.

The spine is made up of small interlinking bones called vertebrae. These bones protect the spinal cord or the major nerve cord. The backbone is very important and needs to be looked after. For good health and maximum movement, we must be aware that bones should grow in the right direction. The spine must grow straight and strong – good posture.

1. Lie on the floor – arch spine shoulders and bottom touching the floor2. Push the spine down and try and feel each vertebra touching the floor3. Do this exercise occasionally to help strengthen the spine

This exercise shows how we can help straighten the spine. We have tended to adopt armchair postures. Poor spine formation can affect general health and movement. Bad posture that is never corrected can lead to possible lack of body movement and inability to do things such as dance or sport.

Strong, relaxed neck muscles aid good posture. The head is the heaviest part of our bodies, a newborn baby’s head must always be supported. Neck muscles are needed to be strong for good posture. These muscles, if tense, can aggravate health. Therefore, exercise and posture work are allied.

1. Sit up against a wall in a normal, slouched position – measure height2. Sit up straight and measure again

This exercise illustrated that we lose approximately 8cm in height with bad posture.

When breathing out, always leave a little reserve of air in the lungs – as in petrol in the tank of a car. There is always some left.

1. During the normal school timetable of lessons, such as maths, English, geography… get children to stand up, stretch their spines, breathe deep and relax back into their lesson

Make sure children are aware of posture. As with a machine, the body needs too be in a good position in order to function properly.

1. Use a kazoo, breathe and sing “ooo” into it

With one breath use the voice based on rhythm patterns.

2. Using the lips only, breathe in and let the air out through the sound “brrr” and keep the lips loose



Using the index finger as a toothbrush between the lips, breath in and out and say “ooo” and “aah”, again keeping the lips loose

If the spine continues to curve with bad posture from sitting and standing positions, it will grow curved.

With good postures, our lungs are able to use their full capacity. With bad posture, shallow breathing occurs.

1. Imagine your chest region (lung area) as a barrel2. Breathe from the bottom of the barrel3. Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth4. Breathe in through the mouth and out through the mouth5. Take a really deep breath and hold for 10 seconds and breathe out slowly

Too much deep breathing can cause hyperventilation – twice only. With all breathing, the diaphragm should extend, not the shoulders.
