Nursery Rhymes
"After becoming a new mum, having not been around little babies for many years, I was surprised at how rusty I had become at remembering the words and tunes of alot of old fashioned and much loved nursery rhymes. Luckily Nanna quickly reminded me of some old favourites which we have provided for you below in alphabetical order for quick reference. Nursery Rhymes are an easy, special and enjoyable activity you can share with your baby for many years as they play, bathe and go to sleep.
It is amazing to me how much my son responds to my nursery rhyme singing. As out of tune and muddled as I can get at times he still laughs and smiles as I over characterise the songs and tell him little stories. He acts as if i have made them up especially for him. Slowly he is beginning to interact with me copying the actions to the rhymes like the hand movements in open shut them. I can't wait until he can sing along with me too. If like me you are a little rusty in the nursery rhyme department put up copies of your favourites around the house in places where you are most likey to sing to your child - in the bedroom, by the bath tub or near their high chair. You will be amazed at how your child responds."
The educational value of nursery rhymes is also important. Nursery Rhymes play a role in vocal development, initiate an understanding of rhyme and rhythm, enhance the development of basic counting skills, create an understanding and appreciation of music as well as allow for physical development through dance and movement.

For A Noise, Annoys an Oyster
For a noise annoys an oyster
For a noise annoys an oyster all the more, all the more
When the west wind whistles through the whispers of a shrimp
The poor old oyster feels a trifle limp
He will murder mussels as the seaweed rustles
And the cockles croak a chorus on the shore, on the shore
For a noise annoys an oyster
For a noise annoys an oyster all the more, all the more.

On Top of Spaghetti

All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.

Rolled right out the door!

And under a bush,
Now my poor meatball,
Was nothing but mush,
The mush was as tasty,
As tasty could be,
Early next summer,
It grew into a tree.
The tree was all covered,
With beautiful moss,
It grew lovely meatballs,
In a tomato sauce.
So if you like spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatballs,
And DON'T EVER SNEEZE!

Yankee Doodle
Yankee Doodle came to town,
A-ridin' on a pony.
He stuck a feather in his hat,
And called it macaroni.
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Mind the music and the steps,
And with the girls be handy.
Father and I went down to camp,
Along with Cap'n Goodwin.
The men and boys all stood around,
As thick as hasty puddin'.
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Mind the music and the steps,
And with the girls be handy.
