Soundscape: Jungle

Today we are going to be playing a jungle soundscape. We have provided this picture as a visual stimulus for the Jungle because it is very colourful and busy but you can also choose or imagine your own picture.

Please relax, listen to the music, look at the picture, imagine different things or animals you might find in the jungle and take deep breathes. Perhaps you have some things at home that make you think of the jungle or the different sounds you might hear there.

Canny Shove Yer Grannie off a Bus: Part 3 – Verse 3 & Chorus

Today we are going to add another verse to this week’s song;

We’ll all go round to see her after school
HULLO GRANNIE
We’ll all go round to see her after school
HULLO GRANNIE
We’ll all go round to see her
We’ll all go round to see her
We’ll all go round to see her after school
HULLO GRANNIE.

Song: Ten Green Bottles

This is a slightly different version of Ten Green Bottles.  After each bottle falls there will be a crash, a bang and a tinkle, tinkle, tinkle.  I am going to do this with a bell, drum and windchimes but you could do this at home with a pan, a plastic bowl and a set of keys or anything else you can think of at home or you could even sing the parts instead.

You could also print out or draw ten green bottles or recycle any you have at home to practise counting down.

Canny Shove Yer Grannie off a Bus: Part 2 – Verse 2 & Chorus

Today we are going to learn another verse of You Canny Shove yer Grannie off a Bus;
Ye can shove yer other grannie off a bus
PUSH PUSH
Ye can shove yer other grannie off a bus
PUSH PUSH
Ye canny shove yer other grannie
Cause she’s just yer Daddy’s mammie
Ye can shove yer other grannie off a bus
PUSH PUSH.

Vocal Warm-Up: The Magic Pencil
This week’s vocal warm-up is going to be The Magic Pencil. The idea is to make imaginary drawings with the pencil and copy these with your vocalisations. If you are with other people you can pass the magic pencil in a circle continuing its music as it goes.
This is Emmeline’s favourite vocal warm-up!

Canny Shove Yer Grannie off a Bus: Part 1 – Verse 1 & Chorus

Ye canny shove yer grannie off a bus

PUSH PUSH
Ye canny shove yer grannie off a bus

PUSH PUSH
Ye canny shove yer grannie
Cause she’s yer mammie’s mammie
Ye canny shove yer grannie off a bus
