This is the lyrics for my song. My song is about nutrition and being healthy.

Be healthy everyday

Banana, peach and pear

Eat Healthy everyday

To get big and strong  

Brown rice is best

All day long

Sugar no, no, no

Be healthy everyday

Banana, peach and pear

The commonwealth games

I think the Commonwealth games are games where you can enter in different sports and it is like the Olympics but not that intense .

Other facts I know are they have lots of sports like Shot Put, High Jump, discus and others. They do have  things like sprints. They also have long jump .There is netball, Basketball and gymnastic   The commonwealth games are going to be on soon. I think the commonwealth games are on every years it may not be correct. The commonwealth games are on this year at Glasgow. I think the commonwealth games are on this Thursday.
