Our Xmas concert this year was sensational!
The children made all their own props…
…and sang with gusto!
This year I discovered the most wonderful little book on a visit to the OXFAM shop (one of my favorites). It is a new rendition of a well known song. The book comes complete with a CD…
… and a percentage of sales flows back to global conservation. Great!
*(Some of our parents were also inspired to purchase the book for home)
We’ve got the whole world in our hands…
She’s got the sun and the moon in her hands…
He’s got the mountains and the valleys in his hands…
She’s got the plains and the deserts in her hands…
He’s got the lakes and rivers in his hands…
She’s got the trees and the flowers in her hands…
He’s got the birds of the air in his hands…
She’s got the fish of the sea in her hands…
He’s got the towns and the cities in his hands…
We’ve got the whole world in our hands…
Our children absolutely loved this book and were often over-heard at preschool and at home singing the song as they were engaged in play.
When we suggested to the children that we could perform this story for our Xmas concert, their excitment was contagious! They concentrated their efforts on deciding what props were needed to tell the story, found materials and resources (with some staff suggestions thrown in!) and created some beautiful birds of the air, fish of the sea… etc. Such an enjoyable experience for the children and staff.
We believe that our children will be great future care-takers of our world!
