Viola Day

Here is what we did in our music classes at Marist Crumlin  this week.

Junior infants are working on some new story songs and a Fee Fi Fo Fum chant to go with our latest story
Jack and the Beanstalk.   (Singing Sherlock Vol 1)

Jack climbed up the beanstalk, up up up so high,
Jack climbed up the beanstalk til he reached the sky

Jack climbed down the beanstalk with the money sack
Jack climbed down the beanstalk, I'm never going back
