Guest Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Hi All Happy New Term and Happy New Year to all us "special" staff!!! Been ill most of the hols with mega cough/cold virus so not done as much as I would have liked - gulp!!! Just wondered if any of you wonderful folk could suggest any simple songs/rhymes for our topic The World in my Town please. Hoping to do - our homes, our school, places in our town eg farm, shops etc and people in our town. Got some but thought you great people might have some different ones for inspiration Thank You Very Much and have a good term There if can ever help xxxx
finleysmaid Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 bobbing up and down in my little red tractor? ,,,there another one about going up and down the town but can't remember it at the mo.....I'll go have a think
sunnyday Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Hi BevL We have a lovely book and CD 'The Journey home from Granpas' - s'pose that's more about transport though :blink: hmmm not sure really.......anyway it came from 'Barefoot Books' :1b
Jules71 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 "Who are the peolpe in your neighbourhood" a song from sesame street. A good way to cover jobs people do, Doctors, Fire Fighters, Police Officers etc. :1b
apple Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 could you adapt familiar songs to suit the places you are visiting? e.g. old macdonald could be changed to the name of a pet shop Mrs/Mr xxxx had a pet shop eieio and in that pet shop he/she had a xxx etc or Here we go round the mulberry bush - this could be adapted to include areas in your locality "Here we go down to xxxx lane/road/street or 'this is the way to xxx street' 'Let's all go to the post office/supermarket etc Does this make sense?
Guest Wolfie Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) I know you've probably already got it/looked there but This Little Puffin by Elizabeth Matterson always comes up with something for me - there's an In The Town section in there. Edited January 6, 2013 by Wolfie
