We made some jelly the day before our assembly, we 'wibble wobbled' it and watched it move, put it on a spoon and had a taste - delicious!
One of our firm favourites, it's requested time and time again in both class and assembly. Hope you enjoy it too.
At Ladbroke Square we are busy practising our Christmas Kindness Concert songs.
Every year we end our concert with this happy vintage song, it's a tradition.

This song is from 'Out of the Ark' music for children. It's all about kindness...

Upsy Down Town is such a funny, topsy-turvy song to sing, and we made up a new verse for the concert

We love ringing out our bells and imagining a lovely, kind donkey

Our 'O Christmas Tree' is a shorter, simpler version of the original song
It's great fun seeing the children doing all the actions to this song...
This is such a bouncy song to sing!
Ten children roll and push out the next in line, until there's no one left
Five children help act out flying around the world, and 'Whooosh' away - one at a time...
A spoken song...
We make a fist and release one, then two fingers, and finally all the rest. We widen the size of the growing pea pod until it's as wide as the children can reach, at which point it POPs!
When we sing Mark the Shark we use a straight hand as the fin. There are plenty of friends for Mark - Gail the Whale, Trish the Fish, Myrtle the Turtle and even Gus the Octopus! Our children think of new sea creatures and choose rhyming names...
This is a lovely song, with lots of musical instruments to choose from
We plan to make up some new verses next time we sing this song...
As you can probably hear, we have great fun singing this! The children rotate their fingers, thumbs, arms, legs, and heads - and stand up and then sit back down again...
There's a video of this song on our Facebook site - recorded on World Book Day, when we dressed as characters from The Very Hungry Caterpillar. What an amazing day!

A sea shanty with changing actions as the character grows up...
We try to use jungle animals, but sometimes the children choose dinosaurs or cows!
We also ensure that the animals have a good gender mix...
The children also made a video you can find on our instagram site - https://www.instagram.com/p/BtRFeOggHk3/
