I'm trying to learn either a BSL or SSE version of a song (below) I normally use with my (450) primary science pupils.  They know the song in English and, as we're not allowed to sing in class at the moment, I thought it would give an opportunity to teach some signs and raise awareness of BSL in the school.  That said, I am a complete beginner myself and was hoping someone could maybe help or give me advice on ow to go about it.  Thanks.

This is the song -

Plants are growing

Rivers are flowing

Birds are flying

Whales are diving

It's a world of wonder

See the stars shine bright

It's a world of wonder

Rockets blast up high

Dark clouds are forming

Rain is falling

Lightning is flashing

Thunder is crashing

Big gorillas are stomping

Alligators are chomping

Bugs are crawling

Snow is falling

Science is cool for me and you

Learning how things work and what they do

Use your 5 senses everyday

Observe all around as you work and play

I am a beginner to BSL myself, but have a role i teaching Spanish, etc in our primary school.  I currently teach STEM and often use a songs, particularly with the younger children.  Our Covid guidance at present means we are not allowed to sing and I thought that might give an opportunity to use Sign Supported English to learn some signs for songs we already know instead,  Hope that makes sense.  That said, I'm not really sure where to begin, so wish me luck.
