LEARNING COLORS TOGETHER- WEEK 4

Lyrics of the songs/rhymes in the video
- The fuzzy little caterpillar (Tune: Itsy-Bitsy spider)
The fuzzy little caterpillar,
curled upon a leaf
spun her little chrysalis,
and then she fell fast asleep.
While she was sleeping,
she dreamed that she could fly
and later when she woke up,
she was a butterfly! - Two little butterflies
Two little butterflies, sitting on a hill
one named Jack, one named Jill
Fly away Jack, fly away Jill
Come back Jack, Come back JillTwo little butterflies, sitting on a cloud
one named quiet, one named loud
Fly away quiet, fly away loud
Come back quiet, Come back loudTwo little butterflies, sitting on a stick
one named slow, one named quick
Fly away slow, fly away quick
Come back slow, Come back quickTwo little butterflies, flying in the sky
one named low, one named high
Fly away low, fly away high
Come back low, Come back high - Flitter-Flutter butterfly (Tune: Twinkle-twinkle little star)
Flitter-Flutter butterfly,
Flying in the big blue sky
Flutter high and flutter low
Flutter fast and flutter slow
Flitter-Flutter butterfly,
Flying in the big blue sky - The banana song
Bananas unite, bananas split
Peel bananas, peel-peel bananas
Chop bananas, chop-chop bananas
Mash bananas, mash-mash bananas
Eat bananas, eat-eat bananas
Go bananas!
Go bananas, go-go bananas…
- Elevator song
Oh, the city is great and the city is grand
There are many tall buildings
On a little piece of land
We all live together on the fifty-seventh floor
And this is what we do
When we open up the door
Take the elevator up, take the elevator down (3 times)
Then we turn around (spin around)
- Wind the bobbin up
Wind the bobbin up
Wind the bobbin up
Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap
Wind it back again
Wind it back again
Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap
Point to the ceiling
Point to the floor
Point to the window
Point to the door
Clap your hands together, one, two, three
Put your hands upon your knee
