I Sent A Valentine
Picture
I sent a valentine to my love and
On the way I dropped it
A little doggie picked it up and
Put it in his pocket
And I won’t bite you
And I won’t bite you
And I won’t bite you
And I will bite you!!

Skidamarink

Skidamarink a dink a dink, 
Skidamarink a doo,
I love you.
Skidamarink a dink a dink, 
Skidamarink a doo,
I love you.



I love you in the morning 
And in the afternoon,
I love you in the evening  
And underneath the moon; 
Skidamarink a dink a dink, 
Skidamarink a doo,
I love you!

Giddy Up Horsey
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up horsey,
Giddy up, giddy up, go, go, go!
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up horsey
Giddy up, giddy up, hoooo.

We continued our Chinese Music topic and we learnt about Pipa - a chinese plucked string instrument. We sang four new songs: I Love the Mountains, Skidamarink, Stick Song and My Pony. We had fun adding instruments to the songs (drums and claves).

Stick Song
Put a stick in this hand and put a stick in that,
Hold them bough together and tap, tap, tap,
Tap them to the ceiling then tap them to the floor
Tap them right in front of you and put them on the floor.
