>>> Week 1. Language: (Aesop Fable)
Week 1
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are
Once I saw a little bird come hop, hop, hop
And I said: Will you stop? Stop? Stop?
I went to the window saying How do you do?
But he shook his little tail and away he flew.
I like the flowers, I like the daffodils,
I like the mountains, I like the rolling hills,
I like the fires, when the lights are low.
Shoo bi doo, shoo bi doo, shoo bi doo wow ! (or as you wish)
Bean bag, bean bag, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
In the morning, the sun wakes up everyone,
Then he rises high above to share his love.
And at night, the sun sets, and we too go to our beds.
The sun is in my heart,
He warms me with his power
And wakens life and love
In bird and beast and flower.
Do do Darling do, darling soon to sleep will go
When we tell a story, we sit altogether
Today’s story will begin soon, oooo !
My mother called to me, and this is what she said:
Go down to the store and buy a loaf of bread. (repeat two times)
The storekeeper listened, and this is what he said:
Let's go to the baker, and get the loaf of bread. (repeat two times)
We talked to the baker, and this is what he said:
The miller has the flour, for to bake the bread. (repeat two times)
We went to the miller in his mill so neat.
Go down to the farmer for to get the wheat. (repeat two times)
We came to the farmer milking his cow.
He sent us to the blacksmith for to get a plough. (repeat two times)
The farmer ploughed the field,
The miller ground the wheat,
The baker made the dough,
The storekeeper wrapped it,
And gave it straight to me.
I took it home to mother, as proud as I could be!
(Create gestures and movements)
When we tell a story, we sit altogether,
Today’s story is finished. Ooooo
And when it’s time to go away,
We say good bye, good bye, good bye…
(I let you choose a good bye song)
