Friday saw the start of our latest theme "sous la mer" (under the sea). Our songs for this include: la baleine, la mer - not sure where I came across this one at some point over the years teaching though it has become part of my repertoire. It is sung to the tune of "sur le pont d'Avignon" but covers sea creatures and their actions. I will try to find a name at least and then I can acknowledge it properly next week! - les petits poissons, tourne tourne petit moulin (there is a fish in it!), rame rame donc (row your boat) and il tourne en rond notre beau bateau. You can find the lyrics to most of these on previous posts. And here are the words for la baleine and il tourne en rond:
C'est la baleine qui va, qui vire
Qui fait le tour des navires
Oh la baleine, la baleine
Oh la baleine, la baleine
Me croque un doigt
CROC!
Aie, Aie, Aie, Aie, Aie!
X5 - one verse for each finger eaten!
Il tourne en rond notre beau bateau,
Il tourne en rond trois fois,
Il tourne en rond notre beau bateau,
Il tombe au fonde de l'eau
We do this a bit like ring o' roses, holding hands in a circle and then falling to the ground on the last line.
For our craft this week we had the paints out again and as it was the school holidays here still I decided we might as well get really messy :0)
We made jellyfish (la méduse) pictures. To make your own you will need:
A large piece of paper,
Bubble wrap,
Blue and green paint and any other colours you choose
Googly eye stickers or googly eyes
A balloon (partially inflated)
First, cover the piece of bubble wrap with blue and green paint.
Then press your paper onto the bubble wrap to print the sea pattern background like this
You then paint your toddlers hand in their chosen colour and print a handprint (or as many as you want jellyfish) onto the paper.
Dip the balloon into the paint and use it to print the body of the jelly fish over the hand print and add googly eyes
Here are our fabulous jellyfish paintings to give you some inspiration:
Happy singing and crafting! :0)
