Editor's Notes

  • #2 Example given is song no 1 of 12 Activities for nursery Level 1
  • #3 This is a ‘map’ representing the structure and extent of the activities. 12 songs , 7 areas of teaching, 8 activities per area , 3 levels and 3 terms over 4 years: this equates to the 4 years in Foundation and Key Stage 1 in infant schools. The selection of activities would be made by teacher via the song, activity and stage. This is not the first Slide of the resource.
  • #4 All activities are selected via a song represented by the picture. Voice: Choose a song.
  • #5 All activities are selected via a song represented by the picture. You have chosen Rabbits in the Rain.

  • #7 Rabbits in the Rain - Introduction to the song. 1/i Look at the picture and discuss the song. Extract vocabulary from the picture so that when the children sing the song, they already have the words.

  • #42 This is an example of another activity: Rhythm cards. These have been put onto an interactive board and the children move them around selecting an order and clapping and saying the rhythm names. On the final resource it would be necessary for each rhythm card to have a sound file that said the rhythm pattern on the card (eg tikatika titi tikatika ta) .
