First look at the exercise book, did you use it?

You must be able to recite/sing at least 10 of the under listed BY HEART:

Some have food but cannot eat,

some can eat but have no food.

We have food and we can eat.

Glory be to thee o Lord. Amen.

The day is bright is bright and fair

oh happy day, the day of joy

The day is bright is bright and fair

oh happy happy day!

Oh my home o my home

when shall I see my native land

I will never forget my home!

when sleeping on my cradle bed, and tears affectionately shed,

My Mother

When pain and sickness makes me cry,you gaze upon my heavy eye and pray to God that I shouldn’t die,

My Mother,

Merrily merrily merrily merrily

Life is but a dream.
