Happy, Happy Transportation – Type of Freight Train

The purpose of the class today is to introduce another train song & type of freight train. We started off with the introduction of the song – Chug, Chug, Chug, sang in the tune of Jingle Bell.

The lyrics are as followed:

Chug, chug, chug; Chug, chug, chug,

Chugging down the track.

See our little choo-choo train

Chugging down and back.

We are cars – all lined up,

Chugging just like so.

Hear our whistle toot-toot-toot

As down and back we go.

Story book sharing session – Bulgy Rides again

Phoeon brought a story book for sharing today. It is from the Thomas & friends series. The story is about Bulgy who is a double decker bus. It has been put aside due to his misbehaviour which caused a crash. It has been turned into a hen house. During summer time, Thomas and Emily were sent for repair. There’s not enough of train to pick up passengers. The Fat Controller decided to get Bulgy back on the road. However, Bulgy impatient ruined the whole situation. Bulgy felt sad and decided not to pick anymore passengers but to help the farmers to sell vegetables. He didn't feel jealous anymore seeing Thomas picking up those passengers.
