Our rhyme of the week for this week is Miss Polly Had a Dolly.

Miss Polly had a dolly,
who was sick, sick, sick.
So she phoned for the doctor
to be quick, quick, quick.
The doctor came with his bag and his hat.
And he knocked at the door,
with a rat-a-tat-tat.

He looked at the dolly
and he shook his head.
And he said, “Miss Polly,
put her straight to bed.”
He wrote out a paper for a pill, pill, pill.
“I’ll be back in the morning,
with the bill, bill, bill.”

Some of our pre-school pupils had the opportunity to visit the Lerwick Galley Shed the week before Up-Helly-Aa.

We got to hold on to the torches – they were quite heavy! We held on to special peerie torches, the ones used in the procession are much bigger and heavier.

We got to try on helmet in the room upstairs. We sat at the long table and looked at all the pictures on the wall. Nicol found a photo of his grandad!

We got to go up into the galley. We sat in the galley. We got to see what the colour the galley was painted but we knew we had to keep it a secret!

We really enjoyed our trip to the Galley Shed and we appreciated the members of the Up-Helly-Aa committee who let us visit and who told us about all the different things.

Our Rhyme of the Week for this week is Old King Cole. There is a link below which plays the rhyme as a song.

Old King Cole – BBC Teach

Here is Old King Cole:

Old King Cole was a merry old soul,

And a merry old soul was he;

He called for his pipe,

and he called for his bowl

and he called for his fiddlers three.

Every fiddler he had a fiddle,

And a very fine fiddle had he;

Oh there’s none so rare,

As can compare,

With King Cole,

And his fiddlers three.

Our rhyme of the week for this week is Hickory, Dickory Dock!

Hickory Dickory dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck one
The mouse ran down,
Hickory Dickory dock.

Our rhyme of the week for this week is Dingle Dangle Scarecrow.

Dingle Dangle Scarecrow

When all the cows were sleeping
And the sun had gone to bed
Up jumped the scarecrow
And this is what he said

I’m a dingle, dangle scarecrow
With a flippy, floppy hat
I can shake my hands like this
I can shake my feet like that

When all the hens were roosting
And the moon behind a cloud
Up jumped the scarecrow
And shouted very loud

I’m a dingle, dangle scarecrow
With a flippy, floppy hat
I can shake my hands like this
I can shake my feet like that

I’m a dingle, dangle scarecrow
With a flippy, floppy hat
I can shake my hands like this
I can shake my feet like that

Hello everyone!

This weeks nursery rhymes is Doctor Foster.

Listen to Doctor Foster Went for Gloucester using the link below.

EYFS: Listen and Play – Doctor Foster went to Gloucester – BBC Teach

Listen to all the sounds and try to answer some of the questions as the presenter asks them.

Listen to the story as well.

In the story Doctor Foster makes up a rain dance. Can you make up your own rain (or snow!) dance? Have fun deciding which movements to use and how to join them altogether. We can share our snow and rain dances when we get back to nursery together!

If it is safe to do so then you might go outside to play in the snow. Can you build something using the snow? Maybe a peerie wall or a snowman?

If you are staying inside then perhaps you could build a den?

Again, we would love to see any photos of what you have been doing on our snow day. Please email the Sound Nursery email address.

Happy New Year everyone!

Our rhyme of the week for this week is Doctor Foster.

Doctor Foster went to Gloucester,
In a shower of rain.
He stepped in a puddle,
Right up to his middle,
And never went there again!

Here is a video of the nursery rhyme.
