Express Yourself #4 - Express through songs

Coming up with the lyric

Little composers

This week Water group looked at Aiden's topic, the police. The children gathered and shared their knowledge of what they know about police.

Aiden: "They catch bad guys."
Cameron: "They wear badges and they have guns."
Alan: "They drive police cars."
Natalya: "They help people."
Enxin: "They make us feel safe."

Then we read the story Office Buckle and Gloria. During the story Peter asked, "There is a police dog? How do they catch people?" So we watched a video of how a police dog helps police officer catch a robber. The children were amazed at how fast the dog catches the robber and how well the dog listens to the officers.

Performing the song

After the story and the video, the children really wanted to express their gratitude to the police officers and Aiden chose to make up a song for them. The children came up with the words and the tune (with a piano app)  all by themselves. They were so proud of their song that they wanted to share it with the other groups.


Police Song
tune and lyric by Water Group
Police catches robbers
Police catches bad guys
Knock, knock, knock,
Knock, knock, knock.
They make us feel safe
and they're here to help us.
Thank you!
