August 2023 – Planet Pop

Dear Teacher,

I hope you are having a lovely summer break.

We were all devastated to hear about the untimely loss of Sinéad O’Connor. There are worksheets for her versions of Foggy Dew and the Irish-language children’s song Báidín Fheilimí on www.tuneintoenglish.com. Rest In Peace.
