Today, the Nursery children started their English lesson with a little exercise. Walking, jumping, hopping, and running. Also, slowly and faster.
Hopping was a bit tricky, but they gave it a good go. They also love jumping so they had good fun.
Once they had settled down from the running, the children had to listen and respond to their names being called.
If the child could say “here!” and raise their hand then a big round of applause would be their reward. For those who can’t quite speak yet, an equally big round of applause was their prize for a raise of the hand.
Everyone did well, with some big ‘here’s’ and great hands in the air.
Next was song time. This month, the children are singing “Old MacDonald”, so we looked at some animals and the sounds they make.
The children love going “e, i, e, i, o,” and can make some animal noises.
This week, the children started practicing for their School Festival performance, and today they were practicing the “Baby Shark” dance. First, they tried the moves without the music.
If you can clap, you can “Baby Shark.” Next, we played the music and helped out some who needed help.
They had so much fun they asked to do it again. Who knew being a shark was so exciting.
With the end of the lesson fast approaching, we finished by singing a color song. The children can say some colors well, and the song adds actions for the colors. Red – touch your head,
blue – count to 2. Brown – turn around, and white – take a bite.
Some good turning, just be careful of your balance.
And with that, the children counted to three and gave a big “See you!” They had done a lot of dancing and moving and were ready for lunch.
Great job, everyone.
