Friday 16th May

On thursday of this week, we had a French/Music lesson. The lesson started off with us revising the French words for listen (ecoutez), touch (touchez), look (regardez) and give (donnez). After this we took turns using these commands to play Simon says (or Simon dit). 

It was then time for the music part of our lesson as we learnt the English and French lyrics to the French lullaby ‘Frère Jacques (Are You Sleeping)?’ We started by singing the song all together as a class, in both English and French, and then we split into two groups with one group singing the English version at the same time as the other group were singing the French version. We also sung the two versions as a round with the two groups starting and finishing at different times, as well as giving the children the chance to come up with their own creative versions of how to sing the song.
