Focusing on five popular rhymes, this book provides cross-curricular activity ideas, including a cookery activity and interactive display ideas. The activities are differentiated to show how they can be adapted for younger children, or extended for older children. The rhymes this book uses are: "I'm a Little Teapot", "Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush", "Pat-A-Cake", "The Wheels On The Bus", and "I Hear Thunder". This book is part of a series which offers practical activity ideas based on popular rhymes, and all the activities aim to provide a firm foundation for the National Curriculum and Scottish 5-14 National Guidelines, and to cover many areas of the New Desirable Outcomes for under-fives.
