In our literacy lessons, year 6 students are learning about personal information: part of the topic is to develop a positive image of ourselves and others through the power of words.
We listened to the famous song “You are beautiful“ by Christina Aguilera and we devoted some time to write some kind words to us and others based on these lyrics.
These are some of the pictures and messages we created:
You are beautiful no matter what they say Words can’t bring you down You are beautiful in every single way Yes, words can’t bring you down
—Christina Aguilera, “Beautiful”
Don’t look at me
Every day is so wonderful
Then suddenly it’s hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain
I’m so ashamed
Then suddenly it’s hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain
I’m so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can’t bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring me down, oh no
So don’t you bring me down today
Words can’t bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring me down, oh no
So don’t you bring me down today
To all your friends you’re delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone
Is that the way it is?
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone
Is that the way it is?
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can’t bring you down, oh no
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring you down, oh no
So don’t you bring me down today
Words can’t bring you down, oh no
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring you down, oh no
So don’t you bring me down today
No matter what we do
(No matter what we do)
No matter what we say
(No matter what we say)
We’re the song inside the…
(No matter what we do)
No matter what we say
(No matter what we say)
We’re the song inside the…
