Lesson video

Hello, hello, hello, hello, are you ready to play? Hello, hello, hello, hello, are you ready to sing and dance with me today? Hello, hello, hello, hello, are you ready to play? Hello everyone! Hello, Mrs. Wright! Oh, hello friends, it's great to see you! How are you today? Today is our final visit to the rainforest.

Would you like to know what we're going to do today? The first thing that we're going to do is explore a river in the rainforest.

We're going to jump on a boat, and sing a canoeing song, and then finally, we're going to make a fruit salad.

You will need your singing voice, your imagination, and your listening ears.

It's time to make believe, it's time to make believe.

This is music time, time to make believe.

So everybody get your magic hands ready.

And we're going to put our hands over our eyes in five, four, three, two, one.

And I would like you to imagine that you're no longer in the room you are sitting in, but you have travelled all the way to the rainforest.

Where it's very hot, and it's very loud, full of lots of different noises of animals and birds.

And we're going to go deep, deep into the rainforest, where there's a river.

And the river is winding, we're going to open our eyes in five, four, three, two, one, open your eyes! Wow, look at that river, it's so long! I think we need to go and explore the river.

Listen to the music, and I would like you to use your body to show me what a river does.

Sometimes it goes round bends, sometimes there are lots of waves, sometimes it's calm, and sometimes it's really fast.

There might be a waterfall, there might be a whirlpool! Can you use your body to pretend to be a river? That would be fun.

Well done everybody! I love the way you use your body to pretend to be a river! Which way did your river flow? Would you like to go on a boat trip? Right then, everybody.

Are you sitting comfortably? See if you've got enough space to stretch your legs out like this.

And I want you to imagine you're sitting in a really long boat that's going to go all the way down the river in the rainforest.

I wonder what we're going to see! I wonder how fast we're going to have to row.

Get your paddle ready, because we're going to row, and row, and row, and row.

Keep rowing! Row, and row, and row, and row, Keep rowing! Atte katte nuwa, atte katte nuwa.

Atte katte nuwa, atte katte nuwa.

Atte katte nuwa, atte katte nuwa.

Whew, that was quite hard rowing for all that time! Did you try rowing in time to the beat? Well done everybody! This time, I'm going to play my drum.

Can you row your boat in time to the drum? Ready, steady, off we go! Atte katte nuwa, atte katte nuwa.

Atte katte nuwa, atte katte nuwa.

Atte katte nuwa, atte katte nuwa.

Now, did you stop rowing at all? Well done, you kept going the whole time.

This time we sing it, you can stop rowing when we get to And you're going to see what is on the bank of the river, and you're going to look all the way and I'm going to tell you what I see this time.

Would you like to know? Ready, get your big oar ready, to do your rowing, your big paddle! Are you ready? Off we go! Atte katte nuwa, atte katte nuwa.

Atte katte nuwa, atte katte nuwa.

Atte katte nuwa, atte katte nuwa.

Would you like to know what I saw? I saw a crocodile! On the banks of the river! Oh, my goodness me! Would you like to have a look for something this time? Okay, you look out for some kind of exciting animal or something that's happening on the banks of the river.

Are you ready? Ready, steady, off we go! Atte katte nuwa, atte katte nuwa.

Atte katte nuwa, atte katte nuwa.

Atte katte nuwa, atte katte nuwa.

Oh, I can't wait to hear what you saw on the riverbed.

What did you see? Oh, really? Wow, that sounds really exciting! Right then everybody, would you like to sing along with me this time? Atte katte nuwa, you say the words and off we go.

Atte katte nuwa, atte katte nuwa.

Well done! And then this bit is.

Ready, steady, ready off we go! Atte katte nuwa, atte katte nuwa.

Atte katte nuwa, atte katte nuwa.

Atte katte nuwa, atte katte nuwa.

What happened at the end? That's right! The speed of our boat got faster, which meant the beat got faster, which meant our rowing had to get faster! Well done, everyone.

You can now pause the video if you like, and you can sing the whole song again.

Don't forget the actions! And don't forget to keep in time to the beat.

Well done friends, that was some really good rowing.

But I don't know about you, I am really tired now.

I need a snack, and I love my fruit.

Shall we make a fruit salad? Today's fruit salad is going to be a mix.

We're going to mix some fruit with three sounds, some fruit with two sounds, and some fruit with just one sound.

Shall we give it a try? Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, Paquita! Mama Paquita! Mama Paquita bought her baby a banana, A ripe banana, a ripe banana, a ripe banana for her baby to enjoy.

This time, let's clap banana.

Ready, and a steady, and a ready, off we go! Mama Paquita, Mama Paquita, Mama Paquita bought her baby a banana.

A ripe banana, a ripe banana, a ripe banana for her baby to enjoy.

Well done.

This time, and I would like you to clap banana.

Banana! Banana! Banana! Keep it going! Banana! Mama Paquita, Banana! Mama Paquita, Banana! Mama Paquita bought her baby a banana.

A ripe banana, Banana! a ripe banana, Banana! a ripe banana for her baby to enjoy.

Now we can't just have bananas in our fruit salad.

So what other fruit would you like? Shall we have some mango, mango, mango? That fruit has two sounds! Mango, mango, mango! Very good, shall we give it a try? Banana! Mango, mango.

Mama Paquita, Mama Paquita, Mama Paquita bought her baby a banana.

A ripe banana, a ripe banana, a ripe banana for her baby to enjoy.

Well done everybody, that was quite tricky! If you would like to sing the song again, maybe you could pause the video and put in your own type of fruit.

Well friends, we have had so much fun in the rainforest.

Did you enjoy yourself? Let's think over what we did today.

We started off by using our bodies to pretend to be the river in the rainforest.

It was so brilliant how you really used your imagination! Then, we went on a boat trip.

Finally, we sang the fruit salad song, Mama Paquita! And today, you did a great job of keeping lots of different fruit rhythms. Don't forget, if you've enjoyed all of the musical learning today, you could maybe share it with your friends and family by photo or video.

And if there's an adult in your house who would like to show what you've been doing on social media, they can use the #LearnwithOak, or tag us @OakNational.

Well friends, you have been absolutely brilliant in the rainforest and in the woodland.

But it's time to get your waving hands ready to sing goodbye.

Ready, steady, off we go! Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, it's nearly the end.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, it's been so fun to sing with you my friends.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, but now we've got to fly.

Goodbye, everyone, Goodbye, Mrs. Wright!.
