We have started on the letter 's' this week and there are so many things that begin with this sound! It has been very exciting! In K1 we do a lot of singing because it can help us remember our learning better. Today we learned to sing "A Spider Spins a Web" and while we were singing we all sat in a circle and created one big spider web together by throwing a ball of string around. Look at our spider web! We had so much fun we did this three times in a row!
You can sing this at home with your child too and do it with hand actions. Here are the lyrics and below a video so you can hear the tune (to "The Farmer in the Dell")
The spider spins a web (Move hand around in circles)
The spider spins a web
Round and round and
*Up and down (point up and then down)
The spider spins a web
*Second verse instead of "up and down" use "side to side" and in the third verse change to "front and back"
