To sing or not to sing

During my phonics intervention we were doing the 'ng' sound. I wrote some words on my whiteboard. Song, sing and got the children to read them. I then said we were singing some songs this morning weren't we? Little lad said 'No!'

I said 'Yes we were!'

He said 'No we didnt'

I said 'Yes in assembly we were singing our christmas songs!'

He said 'I dont remember'

So I had the book with all the songs in it and I burst into song and I sang the song to them. After I had finished I expected a round of applause but instead one little girl said to me

'Mrs P DO you think we could get on with our work now?'

She is only 5

Last time I do any singing
