Journeys and adventures

In this lesson, we will be using singing games to explore beat, note duration and rhyme. In this lesson, we will take part in our first imaginative listening activity. We will listen to a piece of music called "Promenade: Walking the Dog" by George Gershwin.

Walking on my street

In this lesson, we will use singing games to explore note duration and improvise rhythms with a rapping bus driver. This lesson's imaginative listening will take us on a bus tour through the Queen's neighbourhood, as we listen to Eric Coates' "Knightsbridge Suite".

Sitting on the bus

In this lesson, we will learn a new rhyme about trains and a fun counting-out game that children in India like to play.

Getting on a train (Part 1)

In this lesson, we will continue working on rhythm and beat through the rhymes we learned last lesson and we will also sing a Tamil Lullaby from Sri Lanka.

Getting on a train (Part 2)

In this lesson, we will be singing a song in French, with movement to mirror the rocking of a boat and making up some rhythmic rhymes in "Ally Ally O".

Sailing on a boat

In this lesson, we will be going on a big adventure, playing some of our favourite singing games from this unit.
