Cumulative Songs

It is fun to sing cumulative songs. These are songs where you keep adding elements/words every time you repeat the song. The grade one and two students have learned two cumulative songs in Music this last month. 


Rattlin' Bog






Green Grass Grew All Around





Try singing this new cumulative song I Bought Me a Cat. Here are the lyrics and the video. See if you can follow the words written underneath the video after you click PLAY. The highlighted words are the ones you will have to change for each verse. Good luck!




I bought me a Cat, 
The Cat pleased me. 
I fed my Cat under yonder tree. 
The Cat went "Fiddle eye fee, fiddle eye fee."

                               Hen           Chipsy chopsy
                               Duck         Splishy Splashy   
                               Goose       Honk honk
                               Sheep       Baa baa
                               Cow          Moo moo
                               Horse       Nay nay


There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea is another fun one. Try it!




Some other cumulative songs you might want to search for on YouTube are: There Was an Old Lady, An Austrian Went Yodeling and Open the Drawbridge.

First and Second Endings

Hello Grade 3, 4 and 5 students,

Please watch the following videos on how to use first and second endings when you are reading music. These videos will prepare you for the song Jolly Old St. Nicholas. Please look at your music booklet if you need to see a clearer version of the song.

Return to Seesaw and send me a message that you watched this video. If you have any questions about how First and Second Endings work, please feel free to ask and I will make sure I reply back.
