Guest Mrs Tiggy Winkle Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I did Farmer Duck as an assembly with my Reception class in about 2000!!!.... so am now racking my brains to think.... I remember adapting a song called 'Keep on dancing' and changing the words. Can't help you with the original song and tune, but from memory it went something like... Keep on working, keep on working, keep on singing this song (x2) Clap your hands and stamp your feet Saw that wood to the beat Saw that wood, saw that wood on singing this song Keep on working, keep on working, keep on singing this song (x2) Clap your hands and stamp your feet Wash those dishes to the beat Wash those dishes, saw that wood Keep on singing this song Groups of children mimed the different actions and I think we had a couple more verses in there, do the ironing, dig the fields... this was at the end of our assembly after they had got rid of the farmer I think then we had a song/rhyme for each of the groups of animals - baa baa blacksheep, higgledy piggledy my black hen, cant remember what we did for cows tho and i remember I added in pigs as well - I'm thinking it was mabe this little piggy went to market, as the duck fetced them.... Ok brain has given up under the strain now.... if it helps great, if not then just ignore me - most people do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have that CD at our school and the children love it - its produced by "Out of the ark" should have attached the link to the correct publication here if needed! http://www.outoftheark.co.uk/products/asse...y-assembly.html ems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 hello!after half term we have to put on an assembly for rest of school, just wondering if anyone can think of easy songs to learn that would go with the story farmer duck story, which we will try to act out! hope someone can help, thanks I know you did your assembly along time ago but I really like the sound of it and wondered how you did it in the end. Could you share this with me if you do not mind as am interested myself to use this for an end of year assembly for Reception. I have never done an assembly before, am a NQT so a bit nervous!

Guest Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 No useful song suggestions, but wanted to ask you "how goes the work?" When my dd2 was born, I read that book a lot to my dd1 (18 months) while I was breastfeeding. I think my husband and I still know it off my heart, and "How goes teh work?" as become a family catch phrase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
