What with Halloween around the corner, we've decided to do a dance with the grade 1s, using Saint Saens' Fossils from Carnival of the animals.
A great website for clapping games:
http://funclapping.com/ Nice blog posting about the benefits of clapping games for children: http://www.missjaimeot.com/why-you-should-teach-your-child-clapping-games/ We've been working on hearing different pitches in the scale, and focusing on low to high using a variety of different activities to encourage the pupils to make connections.
Halloween will be on it before we know! Here are the lyrics to the song:
Witches Fly 'round the sky at night Oooo, oooo Watch out lest they give you a FRIGHT! Ooooo Cats and bats and goblins too, Oooo, oooo All will try to jump OUT at you Ooooo Grade 1 did a great job of singing and playing the first three notes of the scale, using CDE and Sol-Fa hand signals.
