GOOD MORNING

Good morning, good morning,
How are you this morning?
Good morning, good morning,
I’m fine, I’m fine today




THE WEATHER


What’s the weather, what’s the weather like today, like today?
Look outside the window, look outside the window
Can you say? Can you say?
It’s a sunny, it’s a sunny, sunny day, sunny day
Go out in the sunshine, go out in the sunshine
Play, play,play,play,play,play
(Cloudy day: better get a sweater, better get a sweater, if it’s 
cold, if it’s cold)
(Windy day: let’s go fly a kite now, let’s go fly a kite now, fly it 
high, fly it high)
(Rainy day: better get a raincoat, better get a raincoat, it’s so 
wet, it’s so wet)



LUNCH TIME

Time for Lunch, Time for Lunch,
Lets get ready, Let's get ready.
I'm getting hungry,
I'm getting Hungry.
How about you? How about you?
Wash your hands, wash your hands,
Before we eat, before we eat.
We should have clean hands,
We should have clean hands.
When we eat, when we eat.



GO TO THE PLAYGROUND

When it's a time for us to go outside,
To play, to play;
We find a place to put our toys
Away, away;
We'll march so qui - et - ly to the door,
We know ex - act - ly what's in store;
When we go outside to play for a little while



POTTY SONG




You´ve got to listen to your body and go in the potty

You listen to your body and go in the potty

You listen to your body and go in the potty
You go in the potty oh yeah!
Do you pee on the floor? No, no, no.
Do you pee in your pants? No, no, no.
Do you pee on a coach? No,no, no.
You´ve got to listen to your body and go in the potty
You listen to your body and go in the potty
You listen to your body and go in the potty
You go in the potty oh yeah!

Goodbye goodbye see you again
Goodbye goodbye see you my friends
Goodbye goodbye I had fun today

Bye, bye!



YEAR 1



ACTIVITIES TO WORK WITH THIS BOOK:

WORD LEVEL: The teacher has to show the children how to say a letter, and how to pronounce it, to become familiar with the terms letter sound and letter name. 
For example in the word CAT. And the children have to repeat it after her. 




SENTENCE LEVEL: Children are going to have some cards with singular and plural words, e.g: bees, trees, cat, pig, etc. And they have to identify which words are in plural and which are in singular. 




TEXT LEVEL: In groups of four pupils, the teacher is going to give them some cards with every character of the story, and they have to say one word to describe the animal, its appearance and its behaviour. (They can use the list of adjectives of the other blog's entry)










YEAR 1




ACTIVITIES TO WORK WITH THIS BOOK:

WORD LEVEL: To create a word bank with the name of the animals what appear in the story, with a picture next door. 


SENTENCE LEVEL: Using the smart board, the teacher has to prepare story cards with missing words, and full stops, and the children have to write it properly. This is useful to recognise full stops and capital letters when reading, and name them correctly.



TEXT LEVEL: To retell the story, the teacher gives every body a card of an animal of the story, dividing the class in seven groups. The teacher is the guardian’s wife. The teacher will ask: Who got out of the cage first and the children holding that animal stand up and the rest of the children say, "Good Night, (name of the animal)." As each animal is called the teacher puts the pictures in order in the board.
