What to do today

Today, we have a clapping game we sometimes do in class. We also have a new music game to try.

Please join in with the activities below. The more who can join in, the more fun, too. Do the activities as many times as you like. Use any kind of instrument to like to play along.

Activities (links below)

  1. Hello
  2. Bounce and catch
  3. Clap, tap and sing along to Clap Your Hands Together.
  4. Watch the video and join in with Yoshi Whoops! Can you play it using  your own name? What about someone else’s name or that of a friend. Try it with a favourite character or soft toy.
  5. Play the instruments along to the video or get up and move. If you like, get a scarf to play with.
  6. Time to chill. This week we are listening to Yann Tiersen – La valse d’Amélie
  7. Goodbye

Fancy Dress Competition

3 Replies

Good afternoon everyone!

Group 11 thought that we would brighten up our day today.  We had a strict dress code for our team meeting and all adhered to it beautifully.

 We’d love to see you guys (and your families) in fancy dress.  It will be a competition so please email me your entries and we will choose a winner.

The prize may just be bragging rights but it will cheer us all up.  I will collate the entries and put them on the blog.  kirsty.reid@westlothian.org.uk

Closing date: Friday 15 May

Have fun!
