Hi girls. I hope you are all keeping well. I hope last week’s activities were enjoyable. I look forward to hearing all of your home languages when we get back to school. This week we will be focusing on nursery rhymes. 

  

 

• I have uploaded this activity to Seesaw. 

  

• I have chosen 4 nursery rhymes. Read the rhymes, sing the rhymes and say them out loud. 

 

• Next I want you to pick your favourite nursery rhyme. It can be a different one to the ones I have picked. 
   
    
• Practise saying it in a funny voice, a happy voice, a sad voice. 
   
    
• Now record yourself saying the nursery rhyme in your best performing voice. Have a listen to it.  
   
    
• I would love to hear your performances. You can upload your favourite performance to Seesaw. 
   
    
• Extra: Do you know any nursery rhymes in your own language? Maybe a parent could help you? I would love to hear recordings of these too!
