I
læreplanen for 2. klasse i engelskfaget står det bl.a.
at elevene skal «utforske lyder, rim og rytme i språket»,
at de skal «lage og framføre korte muntlige tekster»
samt «tegne og forme innholdet». I dette oppslaget presenterer
vi tre barneregler som er velegnet som grunnlag for slik utforskning,
tegning og formning.
Dette er klassiske engelske barnerim som vi i dette
tilfellet har hentet fra utgivelser fra den norske Steinerskolen.
Nose,
nose tiny.
Hair,
hair shiny.
Brow,
brow brinky,
eye,
eye winky,
mouth,
mouth merry,
cheek,
cheek cherry,
chin-chopper,
chin-chopper, chin-chopper.

Raise
your hands above
your head
and clap them one, two, three.
Rest
them now upon your hips
and slowly bend
your knees.
Up again and stand
erect
and put your right foot out.
Shake your fingers, nod
your head and turn yourself about.
You twiddle
your thumbs and clap your hands.
And then you stamp
your feet.
You turn to the left,
you turn to the right
and then your fingers meet,
You make a bridge,
you make an arch,
and then you fold your hands and rest them in your lap.
Suggested topics for philosophical discussion
- What is your favourite body part? Why is this your favourite
part? Is there any part of your body that you do not like? Why?
Is there any part of your body that you could do without? If
yes, which one? Why? How? Is there any part of your body you
could not do without?
- Imagine that your body parts were mixed up: your arms were
coming out of your head, your eyes were on your stomach and
your ears were mounted
on your back. What would it be like to live with such a
body? Are there any body parts you would like to move? If so,
which ones, and where would you move them to? Why?
- What kind of things can you say with your mouth? Can you say
everything? Or is there something that you cannot say (even
if you are allowed to say it)? What is that? (This is a trick
question of course: it is not possible to say something that
it isn't possible to say :-)
- Is everything you can say with your mouth good, or is it also
possible to say bad things with your mouth? Suppose you say
something that is rude/nasty/bad—who is responsible: is
it you or is it your mouth?
