This week we practiced audience etiquette as we listened to some of our classmates play the piano. We learnt two new songs: Farmyard Cats and Pig Jig, and we had fun waking around the room and keep the beat on our feet singing different songs.

This week we sang three new songs: I Sent A Valentine, Pony Song and Dingle Dangle Scarecrow. We also sang We Like To Play adding percussion instruments on it: woodblocks, shakers, tambourines, cymbals and drums.
I Sent A Valentine
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 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! |
