We use the rhymes and songs below as vehicles for our learning in our Musical Giants classes. Your child won’t necessarily know all of the songs, as it depends how long they have been with us at Musical Giants, however hopefully they will recognise some of them. Enjoy watching the videos and singing along at home!
