Incy Wincy Spider

When come to black, spider comes to my mind. Then “Incy Wincy Spider” appears in my head. I believe most of the children had read or sing this nursery rhyme before. Even though their pronunciation of each word is not that cleared but I can actually tell that they had heard it before.

With the finger movement, the children started to sing the nursery rhyme:

Incy Wincy Spider

Climbed up the water spout

Down came the rain

And washed the spider out

Out came the sunshine

And dried up all the rain

And the incy wincy spider

Climbed up the spout again.

Then I also found an interesting song about spider from the internet and I wish to share with the children.

Spin the spider, spin (Tune: Farmer in the Dell)

Spin the spider, spin

Spin the spider, spin

Round and round and up and down

Spin the spider, spin

I asked the children to think of what other things that the spider can do so that we could fit it into the song.

The children gave a few suggestions such as: run, crawl, eat. We fit it into the song and do it with action. I also added one as “dance”.  Besides this, the children also shared some knowledge that they know about the spider such as how the spider hunt their prey, how the spider eat their prey etc.

We shall do the spider art the next day.
