This week: opposites
An opposites week for twos to fours: big and little, fast and slow, up and down, in and out.
Our letter is O: O is for opposite.
Our song is “The Grand Old Duke of York”. The words are below, so you can sing it at home.
Our books: Go, Snail, Go!, In My Bag, Where Is the Cat?, Look at the Big Pig. The ones marked free can be read at peabody.kids, no sign-in.
The Grand Old Duke of York
Oh, the grand old Duke of York, He had ten thousand men; He marched them up to the top of the hill, And he marched them down again. And when they were up, they were up, And when they were down, they were down, And when they were only half-way up, They were neither up nor down.
