Tuesday was just lovely - a special time with the infants at Brailsford Primary School to finish off their vegetable garden song. We cut up all our words and rearranged them to give us some ideas for the lines. Everyone mucked in - working really well in pairs, then as a group and then we made a tune. Then we sang it to the Year 1's and the reception children who clapped very very loudly. Quite right too - here it is:
Our vegetable garden
In our vegetable garden
blackbirds are twittering,
scrabbly beans are curling round,
big fat worms lick our feet,
onion leaves like spiky hair.
In our vegetable garden
heart shaped potatoes,
flowers like the gazing sun,
peoples' breath sounds like the wind,
strong radishes are fat long eggs.
They also enjoyed exploring the wonders of the accordion - the bellows, the buttons, the keys, the different sounds.
I hope to be meeting them again when we get them together with Mahala and the ladies and gents of the Church Choir who will also be making their own new song. Mahala thinks they should write about the leeks in the church roof and the way some people sit like cabbages in the pews...
