This week is World Nursery Rhyme Week! Many schools and classes are joining in, plus you can join in virtually at home!
World Nursery Rhyme Week was founded by Music Bugs who continue to organise the initiative.
The Rhyme A Day Challenge
Each year, they choose 5 rhymes and encourage children to take part in our ‘Rhyme a Day’ challenge by singing the nursery rhymes and taking part in supporting activities.
The 5 Nursery Rhymes for World Nursery Rhyme Week 2020 are
– Wheels On The Bus’ (Sing along with Bentley Family Hub)
