Book: "Peppa Goes Apple Picking"


Song with theme using shakers:

“A Wiggly Worm”
(Tune: "Boom, Boom, Ain't It Great to Be Crazy?")

Chorus:
Yum! Yum! Don't you know I love apples?
Yum! Yum! Don't you know I love apples?
Red and green and yellow, too…
Yum! Yum! Don't you know I love apples?

Verse 1
Way up high in an apple tree, I saw two eyes look at me.
I reached for an apple; it started to squirm…oops! I found a wiggly worm!

Chorus

Verse 2
That wiggly worm is a friend of mine. We eat apples all the time.
I let him crawl back to that tree… hey! I see that worm looking at me!

Chorus



Song with theme using shakers:
"Have you ever seen an Apple?"
(Tune: “Have You Ever Seen a Lassie?”)

Have you ever seen an apple, an apple, an apple,
Have you ever seen an apple, that grows on a tree?
A red one, a yellow one, a red one, a yellow one.
Have you ever seen an apple, that grows on a tree.




Spanish song for the week: "Los Pollitos Dicen Pio Pio Pio" from Nick Jr.




Song with theme using shakers:


"Way Up High in the Apple Tree"
Way up high in the apple tree (Reach up high, spread fingers pretending to be a tree)
Five little apples smiled down at me (Put fingers on cheeks make smile or make circles with hands and put around eyes, like pretending to have binoculars)
I shook that tree as hard as I could (Pretend to shake the tree)
Down came the apples (bring hands down wiggling fingers, like failing rain)
Mmmmm, they were good! (Rub tummy)
Way up high in the apple tree (Reach up high, spread fingers pretending to be a tree)
Four little apples…


3,2,1… All gone!
