Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mrs Borthwick teaches us three fun tunes from around the world in the lesson \u00a0called Rainforest Songs. <\/i>We learn\u00a0about a tree frog from Japan, the Kaeru<\/em><\/span>. A song from\u00a0Southern Congo about \u00a0a tree pineapple in Si Si Si. <\/em>The last song is called Zum Zum Zum<\/em><\/span> and come from Brazil.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Today’s \u200bSong\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Now lets sing about a little frog.\u00a0\u00a0It is a traditional song about the tree frogs which live in the temperate rainforests of Japan.\u00a0The words in the last two lines imitate the croaking sound of the frog.<\/p>\n

Here are the words. They might look difficult \u00a0but juts follow along to us as we sing.<\/p>\n

Kaeruno utaga.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0(Ka-e-roono oo-ta ga)<\/em><\/span>
\nKikoetekuruyo.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (Kee-ko-ay-taykoo-rooyo)<\/em><\/span>

\nGerogerogerogerogwagwagwa<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

You can also have a go at making your own rainforests sounds along with the music track after you have sung the song though twice.\u00a0 You could use your voice, body percussion or some homemade musical instruments<\/a> to shake, tap, scrape and ting.<\/p>\n
