Old McDonald

Today saw the 12th and final lesson of the module on Animals, to celebrate I thought I would film my Grade 1 class (6 year olds) singing 'Old McDonald', a song they were not aware of up until four weeks ago.

It is a good effort by the class, considering their English is very basic and they have only sang this song on four occasions over the past 12 lessons. Also, this is the first time they sang without my accompaniment (probably a good thing, as I have a tendency to ruin the song) so I am really proud.

I apologise for the camera work, I was pointing to the animals on the board at the same time as holding the camera so in parts its a little shaky.

They start by singing about a dog, then a duck, then a cow and finally a frog. There appears to be a little confusion at the start of the fourth verse, so I am not sure anyone actually sings the word 'frog' but they do all sing 'ribbet ribbet!' And one or two sing 'rabbit rabbit', oh gotta love hijinks!

I hope you enjoy the video!
