Our rhymes of the week are Mary Mary Mother of Jesus (sung to the tune of Mary Mary Quite Contrary) and Three Wise Men (sung to the tune of Hot Cross Buns)
Mary Mary mother of Jesus,
Please may we see the babe?
The angel told us where to come-
“In a manger he is laid”
Three Wise Men
Three wise men,
Three wise men,
Watched the star and followed it to Bethlehem.
We can see the bright star,
Just as well as them.
It is shining brightly over Bethlehem.
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!
You are invited to a Wiliamwood Cluster Parent & Carer Workshop.
TIME AND DATE: TUESDAY 8th NOVEMBER from 6.30pm to 7.30

It is finance week. We chose Five Currant Buns in a Baker’s Shop.
You can sing the song at home and act it out using real money to support learning.
Five currant buns in a baker’s shop,
big and round with a cherry on the top.
Along came…….with a penny one day,
Bought a currant bun and took it right away.
Repeat…..Four, three, two, one
The children voted for Pat-a-Cake as their rhyme of the week.
Our rhyme of the week is Little Bo Peep.
Littlie Bo Peep has lost her sheep
and doesn’t know where to find them.
Leave them alone,
and they’ll come home.
Wagging their tails behind them.
