Did you enjoy David Bowie's hit Space oddity?

Chris Hadfield is a real life Canadian astronaut. He sang and recorded Bowie's song on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2013. This marked an historical event: it became the first song ever recorded in space.

When he shared the video on Facebook, Bowie said it was "possibly the most poignant version of the song ever created."




Hadfield changed some parts of the lyrics to reflect his own story: an astronaut who finished his mission into space and returns home safely!


Take out the original lyrics and find the differences!

Hello from the 5e1!

During our ski trip, we stayed in Châtel.

Châtel is situated in Haute-Savoie (French Alps). The population is about 1770 inhabitants. The things we like about this town are the ski slopes, the beautiful landscape and the snow!

In Châtel, there are some restaurants, a night club, a souvenir shop, a bakery, some clothes' shops, and a lot of sports and ski shops.

There is also a shop with a big Saint-Bernard. It's a typical dog of the mountains. It saves people.

Châtel is full of snow, there is a ski resort and a lots of wooden cabins.

It is a bit small but it's really cosy.

The only thing we don't like is the cold temperature. Things are also a bit expensive.
