7. Action Song: ‘Icle Ockle Blue Bottle’ (traditional) See autumn lesson ten.
* Running time approx. 3 mins.
8. Working with props: ‘This is the Way We Make the Waves’ (tune of ‘Here We Go ‘Round the Mulberry Bush’, traditional)
Reveal the Nemo toy from your sparkly magic bag. “We’re going to make some waves together so Nemo can jump up out of the water! But first let’s practise with the imaginary parachute!”
Demonstrate the actions with the imaginary parachute as you sing the whole song through one time. Next, sing the song using the real parachute. Lastly, place the Nemo on top and repeat again making him jump up high out of the water at the end.
This is the way we make the waves, (shake the parachute to make waves) Make the waves, make the waves.
This is the way we make the waves,
When we’re in the ocean.
This is the way we up and down... (move parachute up and down to the pulse) This is the way we make small waves... (sing quietly and make baby waves)
This is the way we make big waves... (sing loudly and make giant waves)
This is the way the sea is calm... (sing very quietly and hold parachute as still as possible)
One, two, three, whoosh! (gently move parachute up and down three times then lift it up quickly on ‘whoosh!’)
