Our Nursery Songs: Recent Episodes

At Ladbroke Square Montessori School we sing songs throughout the week, and on Fridays the whole school comes together - accompanied by Harry playing the piano. We all enjoy it enormously, and thought we should share the songs for you to sing along at home. We hope you enjoy them too! Many more songs will added as we go...
We made some jelly the day before our assembly, we 'wibble wobbled' it and watched it move, put it on a spoon and had a taste - delicious!
One of our firm favourites, it's requested time and time again in both class and assembly. Hope you enjoy it too.
At Ladbroke Square we are busy practising our Christmas Kindness Concert songs.
Every year we end our concert with this happy vintage song, it's a tradition.

Our 'O Christmas Tree' is a shorter, simpler version of the original song
Five children help act out flying around the world, and 'Whooosh' away - one at a time...
A spoken song...
We make a fist and release one, then two fingers, and finally all the rest. We widen the size of the growing pea pod until it's as wide as the children can reach, at which point it POPs!
When we sing Mark the Shark we use a straight hand as the fin. There are plenty of friends for Mark - Gail the Whale, Trish the Fish, Myrtle the Turtle and even Gus the Octopus! Our children think of new sea creatures and choose rhyming names...
As you can probably hear, we have great fun singing this! The children rotate their fingers, thumbs, arms, legs, and heads - and stand up and then sit back down again...
This very old song was first mentioned in 'Mother Goose's Melody' around 1765, and was about a hare, not a fish!
There's a video of this song on our Facebook site - recorded on World Book Day, when we dressed as characters from The Very Hungry Caterpillar. What an amazing day!

We try to use jungle animals, but sometimes the children choose dinosaurs or cows!
We also ensure that the animals have a good gender mix...
The children also made a video you can find on our instagram site - https://www.instagram.com/p/BtRFeOggHk3/
The Montessori Globe makes it so much easier to find and focus on the continents
An action filled song. We pretend to wind the bobbin using our arms, and then point to all of the places mentioned in the room - not forgetting our knees at the end!
Our reworked version of the Rainbow song - instead of the colours being all mixed up, they are now in the right order! We hope you enjoy spotting these colours around you...
This is one of our favourite songs. We begin by pretending to add all the ingredients to a bowl, and during the song we point to the places we sing about - table, floor, garden etc. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
