Introduction: The lesson will begin with a brief introduction to the concept of music and how it can be performed using singing, dance, and actions. The teacher will ask the children if they know any nursery rhymes and if they have ever performed them before.

Lesson Outline: 1. Warm-up: The teacher will lead the children in a simple warm-up activity to get them moving and ready to perform. This could include stretching, jumping, or clapping exercises.

  1. Nursery Rhyme Practice: The teacher will choose a nursery rhyme and teach the children the lyrics, melody, and actions. The children will practice singing and performing the nursery rhyme together.

  2. Dance Practice: The teacher will teach the children a simple dance routine that goes along with the nursery rhyme. The children will practice the dance routine together.

  3. Performance: The children will perform the nursery rhyme with singing, dance, and actions in front of the class.

Questioning: During the lesson, the teacher will ask the children questions to check their understanding and engagement. For example:

  • What is your favorite nursery rhyme?
  • Can you show me the actions for “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”?
  • How does the music make you feel?

Assessment: The teacher will assess the children’s performance based on their ability to sing, dance, and perform the actions correctly. The teacher will also observe the children’s engagement and participation in the lesson.

Differentiation: The lesson can be differentiated for children with different abilities by adjusting the complexity of the nursery rhyme, dance routine, and actions. For example, children who are less confident can be given simpler actions to perform.

Plenary: The lesson will end with a plenary where the children will reflect on what they have learned and enjoyed about the lesson. The teacher will ask the children to share their favorite part of the lesson and what they learned about performing music.
