Hayden's Winter Program

Hayden's school has a 'Winter Program' where the kids spend a few weeks learning about things related to winter/arctic/cold stuff and then sing songs about them.  It's quite fun, and Hayden's class had two songs to sing.

Song One - 'It Is Snowing' (to the tune of 'Frere Jacques')

It is snowing,
It is snowing,
On my head...
On my head...
I need a hat,
I need a hat,
On my head.

There are a few more body parts that get snow on them, but the theme is the same.

Song Two - 'Walking In The Arctic' (to the tune of 'Walking In The Arctic')

Walking in the arctic,
Walking in the arctic,
What do we see?
What do we see?
A great big penguin
A great big penguin
And he says Staaaand UP!
Staaaand UP!
Waddle waddle this way...
Waddle waddle this way...
Waddle waddle that way...
Waddle waddle that way...
And sit down.
And sit down.

There are a LOT of animals in the arctic, apparently.  And they all seem to want you to stand up, then do something this way then do something that way and then sit down.

Hayden really enjoyed singing to everyone and we were glad to see him participate in something that took this much preparation and practice because he was able to see the result of all of the time they put into getting ready for the program.
