Who we have been learning about:
Louis Armstrong
Born: 4th August 1901-6th July 1971
I see trees of green, red roses too. I see them bloom, for me and you. And I think to myself,what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue, And clouds of white. The bright blessed day, The dark sacred night. And I think to myself, What a wonderful world.
What A Wonderful World- Louis Armstrong The colours of the rainbow,
So pretty in the sky. Are also on the faces, Of people going by, I see friends shaking hands. Saying, "How do you do?" They're really saying, "I love you,".
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow, They'll learn much more, Than I'll ever know. And I think to myself, What a wonderful world.
Yes, I think to myself, What a wonderful world.
