AnonyMouse_30128 Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 So if you were going to teach 8 nursery rhymes (hopefully to cover several subject areas) What would they be? Quote
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) I think I would like to have Incey Wincey Spider. This would give us 'determination', effects of weather, water/sun dehydration, size, opposites up/down, also nice physical use of hands depending upon how you portray the spider! Could also use other versions, where it snows/freezes and the sun melts the snow. When Goldilocks went to the house of the Bears - recalling the story, size/proportion, counting, senses , wild animals :) (more of a long song though Finleysmaid) but some nursery rhymes suffer a little in not being contemporary enough Wheels on the bus this can be added to so much Our children adored Peter Hammers Edited May 20, 2021 by Panders 2 Quote

I have realised that i cannot remember the last time i sang this but since i have SO many other languages in the setting that may be why!! does anyone sing any songs in children's home languages other than English or French?

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Does ‘Heads, shoulders, knees and toes’ count as nursery rhyme? 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted May 24, 2021 Author Posted May 24, 2021 so the list so far is Head shoulders knees and toes (i would say this is a nursery song and so counts!!) Incy wincey Frere Jacque Wheels on the bus Peter Hammers Goldilocks surprised that more people haven't jumped on this thread.....am i the only one who sings their way through the day😄 so it has been proven that children who know 8 songs at the age of 3 are likely to be much better readers later in school... as conversational skills and language are such an important part of the new EYFS i'm just looking at my ideal 8 think i would need if you are happy and you know it......sandy girl.......five currant buns.......twinkle twinkle ..... baa baa black sheep and tommy thumb........could go on!

AnonyMouse_19782 Posted May 24, 2021 Posted May 24, 2021 ooh yes 5 currant buns - ours loved it and on high days and holidays instead of them handing over a coin we gave them a chocolate coin - always a winner 🙊 at lunch time we often sang 5 little monkeys swinging through the trees, especially if we wanted a reluctant eater to eat up a little more 1 Quote
