Arthur's Theme Song


 Arthur's Theme Song

Everyday when you're walking down the street,
 Everybody that you meet
Has an original point of view
And I say HEY! what a wonderful kind of day
Where you can learn to work and play
And get along with each other

You got to listen to your heart
Listen to the beat
Listen to the rhythm, the rhythm of the street
Open up your eyes, open up your ears

Get together and make things better by working together
It's a simple message and it comes from the heart
Believe in youself
Well that's the place to start

And I say HEY! what a wonderful kind of day
Where you learn to work and play
And get along with each other

 HEY! what a wonderful kind of day
 HEY! what a wonderful kind of day

Diversity

October 12 th, Day of American Cultural Diversity
The INADI, National Institute against Discrimination, Racism and Xenophobia in Argentina suggested a new name for October 12th, to be renamed ‘Day of the American Cultural Diversity”’ replacing the “Race Day”.
The objective of this initiative was to value ethnic and cultural identities, promoting historical reflection, and was organized by members of indigenous communities, historians and non-governmental organizations in the country.
Everyone thought that the name “Race Day” was inadequate, because any idea or doctrine of superiority based on racial differentiation is scientifically false and morally condemnable.
The use of the term ‘race’, prevalent in the 18th and 19th centuries, was abandoned due to its lack of scientific support and was used by political and cultural reasons to serve as a supposed justification or excuse for genocide and acts of discrimination.

Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl was born on September 13 1916 in Llandaff, Wales, to Norwegian parents.

He began his career as a writer in the USA, with his first paid work - an article focusing on his experiences as an RAF pilot posted to Libya at the beginning of World War Two - being published in 1942.

He later returned to the UK with his family and settled in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, where he went on to write many of his famous and much-loved children's books.

Roald Dahl died in November 1990, aged 74. His classic stories - including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The Witches, Danny the Champion of the World, James and the Giant Peach, Fantastic Mr Fox and many more - continue to delight and entertain fans across the world.
