Word Wednesday: Skye Boat Song

Sail Bonnie Boat

Like a bird on a wing,

Onwards the sailors cry.

Carry the lad that's born to be King,

Over the sea to Skye"

~Skye Boat Song 

The Hape Harp is one of the best instruments in our collection. Sold as a childs toy, it's wooden with a lovely sound and easy to play sheet music that slide under the strings, indicating where the notes need to be played.
We listened to The Skye Boat Song (Ella Roberts version) before writing out the notes to the song.

We also learned some of the poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson, most famous for writing Treasure Island.
