Bungalow



Since the beginning of the year, Room 10 has loved this singing game. Today, they persuaded me to include it in our lesson. It's a lot of fun, it encourages singing, moving, listening, turn-taking and goes by the unexpected name of 'Bungalow'. One of the things I liked about watching them play was that everyone came up with an original action, different from those that came before. Some of them were REALLY original- you'll just have to take my word for it, otherwise the video would have been way too long.

Year two classes are introduced to So-me


Recently I have happily rediscovered the So-me Stories by Stuart Manins. So-me has a special way of singing his name, which the Year 2 classes are learning about. We have been singing and playing So-me's name on xylophones and marimbas. The Contrabass Marimba and Contrabass Bars are great for the part in the story where So-me's Dad calls him using his low voice. Here are photos of Room 4 playing along with the story.
