After a good sing-song and boogie with
our usual tunes this morning, we sang our new song Tête, épaules, genoux, pieds... (Head,
shoulders, knees and toes) with the actions, first in English and then in
French.
This song, as well as being lots of
fun, has the added benefit of being a great way to introduce body parts in both
English and French and the little ones were all eager to join in with the
actions and have a go at singing in French too.
The lyrics if you would like to have a
go at singing this at home with your little one are as follows:
Tête, épaules, genoux, pieds, genoux,
pieds,
Tête, épaules, genoux, pieds, genoux,
pieds,
La bouche, le nez, les yeux et les oreilles,
Tête, épaules, genoux, pieds, genoux,
pieds.
*Note the difference on the third line, the order in French is mouth, nose, eyes and ears*
To carry on the body theme, our craft
activity today involved creating a little person. Each child had a body template as a starting
point and free choice from the craft materials to be as creative as they wanted
with their person.
Glue, tissue paper, felt, stickers,
pom poms, glitter glue, craft sticks, cupcake cases, wool and ribbons were all
used with great delight to produce some fantastic little people to take home
and reinforce the vocabulary from the song.
What a fantastically creative bunch
they are, I'm sure you'll agree! :o)
