We are going to learn two rhymes from our Nativity story this week.

First one is, Jesus Was Born in a Stable, to the tune of See-saw Marjory Daw

See-saw, creep to the door,

Jesus was born in a stable.

He is asleep snuggled down in the hay

We’re happy because it’s his birthday.

 

Second one is, Sing a Song of Shepherds, to the tune of Sing a Song of Sixpence.

 

Sing a song of shepherds

Looking after sheep

Sing a song of shepherds

Woken from their sleep.

Sing a song of shepherds

As angels filled the sky.

They sang a song of love and joy

For every girl and boy.

 

 

 

Our rhyme of the week is Special News, taken from our Nursery Rhyme Nativity. It is sung to the tune of London Bridge.

I have come with special news,

Special news, special news.

I have come with special news,

My fair lady.

 

You will have a baby boy,

Baby boy, baby boy.

You will have a baby boy,

My fair lady.

 

Our Nativity this year has a nursery rhyme theme. We thought it would be a good idea to introduce the children to a rhyme from it each week. This week is one we all know, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!
