Songs With Snapdragons

Our nursery rhymes of the week, as taught to the children at Snapdragons.

Here we go ‘round the mulberry bush The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush Here we go ‘round the mulberry bush On a cold and frosty morning This is the way we wash our face Wash our face, wash our face This is the way we wash our face On a cold and frosty morning This is the way we comb our hair Comb our hair, comb our hair This is the way we comb our hair On a cold and frosty morning This is the way we brush our teeth Brush our teeth, brush our teeth This is the way we brush our teeth On a cold and frosty morning This is the way we put on our clothes Put on our clothes, put on our clothes This is the way we put on our clothes On a cold and frosty morning…

Our nursery rhymes of the week, as taught to the children at Snapdragons.

Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily Life is but a dream Row, row, row your boat Gently up the creek If you see a little mouse Don't forget to squeak! Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream If you see a crocodile Don't forget to scream! Row, row, row your boat Gently to the shore If you see a lion Don’t forget to roar!

Polly put the kettle on, Polly put the kettle on, Polly put the kettle on, We'll all have tea. Sukey take it off again, Sukey take it off again, Sukey take it off again, They've all gone away.

Five little ducks went swimming one day Over the hills and far away. Mummy duck said QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK But only four little ducks came back! Four little ducks went swimming one day Over the hills and far away. Mummy duck said QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK But only three little ducks came back! Three little ducks went swimming one day Over the hills and far away. Mummy duck said QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK But only twi little ducks came back! Two little ducks went swimming one day Over the hills and far away. Mummy duck said QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK But only one little duck came back! One little duck went swimming one day Over the hills and far away. Mummy duck said QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK But no little ducks came swimming back! No little ducks went swimming one day Not over the hills or far away Daddy duck said QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK And all the ducks came swimming back!

One, two, three, four, five, Once I caught a fish alive, Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, Then I let it go again. Why did you let it go? Because it bit my finger so. Which finger did it bite? This little finger on the right.

I hear thunder!  I hear thunder!  Hark don't you,  hark don't you? Pitter, patter raindrops,  Pitter patter raindrops,  I'm wet through so are you!

Down at the station, early in the morning, See the little puffer trains, all in a row. Here comes the driver to start up the engine, PUFF! PUFF! PEEP! PEEP! Off we go! Down at the station, early in the morning, See the little puffer trains, all in a row. Here comes the driver to start up the engine, CHUFF! CHUFF! TOOT! TOOT! Off we go! Down at the station, early in the morning, See the little puffer trains, all in a row. Here comes the driver to start up the engine, CLICKETY CLACK! CLICKETY CLACK! Off we go!

Oh, the grand old Duke of York, He had ten thousand men, He marched them up to the top of The hill and he marched them down again. And when they were up they were up. And when they were down they were down. And when they were only half way up, They were neither up nor down.

This little piggy went to market This little piggy stayed at home This little piggy had roast beef This little piggy had none And this little piggy went Wee, wee, wee, all the way home!  This little piggy ate broccoli This little piggy ate cheese This little piggy ate bananas This little piggy ate peas And this little piggy went Yum, yum, yum, all the way home!  This little piggy had a bath This little piggy went to bed This little piggy woke up This little piggy ate bread And this little piggy went Play, play, play, all the way home!

Our pre-schoolers are heading to school once more and we've had an amazing time with all of them. So we wrote a little song to send them on their way with a spring in their step and sung it with some of the children at Broadwood and Keynsham.

For our Music & Imagination Week, the children at Keynsham spent some time pretending to be different animals, dancing along to Tim's version of 'Down In The Jungle.'

We join Tim and children from Weston & Grosvenor at the farm to enjoy some rather eggy songs, as the children eventually lose themselves to the fun of the hills.

As Queen Elizabeth turned 90 this week, the children, with the help of Tim decided to sing her a song or two! Subscribe to the Songs With Snapdragons audio podcast on iTunes at itunes.com/podcasts/songswithsnapdragons

Rosemary Collard is the owner of Snapdragons Nursery and it's her birthday today! So Tim sat down with some of the toddlers and sang her a familiar little ditty.

The children have been finding out about one of music's greatest legends this week, in the week he passed away. A little introduction to two of his hits - 'Heroes' and 'Let's Dance' - is all they need to get into the dancing spirit and hopefully they can go on to enjoy his music in their lives as they get older. Watch the children dance in this episode at https://vimeo.com/151797983

We sit down around the campfire with some children from Snapdragons Keynsham, as Tim and Jess start the festive spirit with some Christmas songs. It's December everybody!

We've been running some baby groups for parents recently and one of the sessions was all about song and music and how it can benefit your baby. Join Hannah and Jess as they sing a hello song to welcome everyone to the group.

We meet up at Warleigh Lodge Farm for a fun sing-a-long with Tim and his guitar.
