On my way to school !

Mathi is going to school. On the way, she hears many sounds. She is enjoying the patterns in it. Let us go along with her and enjoy it.

Teacher's note

• Enact the situation in the classroom by producing the above sounds.

• Encourage the children to mimic some other sounds that they have heard in their real life situations. Example: Sounds of birds, animals, vehicles, etc.,

Learn

I am happy!

Clap, Clap, clap

I am happy at my home;

So, I clap, clap clap.

Snap, snap, snap

I am happy at my school;

So. I snap, snap, snap.

Stamp, stamp, stamp

I am happy at my class;

So I stamp stamp stamp.

Tap, tap, tap

I am happy everywhere;

So I tap, tap, tap.

Teacher's note

• Sing the song by making the sounds.

• Further in the next rounds, while singing, the teacher should make the sounds instead of using the words clap, snap, stamp, and top. This will add flavour to the sound pattern.
