Children enjoy the absurdity and fun in nonsense rhymes and songs, so this week in Play School we explore the fun in being silly and crazy with mixed-up songs, animals and activities. To start the week we begin with an exciting concert! Karen, Jay, Alex & Justine are joined by a live band and tell the story of Cinderella in front of a live studio audience. On Tuesday, we begin our "Nonsense" week. Each day we sing "Upsy Down Town" and visit the Upsy Down Town Calendar. Here, sheep reside in trees, birds drive cars, people walk on their heads, a tiger is found flying by and one day a cake is found growing in a garden! We also have a visit from a talking Corella and have fun dressing up in a mixed-up way.
