Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,

All the king’s horses and all the king’s men,

Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

This week’s rhyme of the week will be ‘Three Craws’ – a traditional Scots rhyme.

Three Craws

Three craws sat upon a wa’,
Sat upon a wa’, sat upon a wa’, aw, aw, aw,
Three craws sat upon a wa’,
On a cauld and frosty mornin’.

The first craw was greetin’ for his maw,
Greetin’ for his maw, greetin’ for his maw, aw, aw, aw,
The first craw was greetin’ for his maw,
On a cauld and frosty mornin’.

The second craw fell and brok’ his jaw,
Fell and brok’ his jaw, fell and brok’ his jaw, aw, aw, aw
The second craw fell and brok’ his jaw,
On a cauld and frosty mornin’.

The third craw, couldnae flee at a’,
Couldnae flee at a’, couldnae flee at a’, aw, aw, aw,
The third craw, couldnae flee at a’,
On a cauld and frosty mornin’.

The fourth craw wisnae there at a’
Wisnae there at a’, wisnae there at a’, aw, aw, aw
The forth craw wisnae there at a’
On a cauld and frosty mornin’.

We are off to East Links Family Park on Thursday, so thought we would sing a song about some of the animals we might see there!

Please make sure you have returned your PC1 consent form and payment.  The bus will leave from in front of the school at approximately 9:30 am on Thursday morning.  Please assemble on the front playground for 9:15 am.  We expect to be back at school by 15:00 in time for school pickup.  Remember to bring sunscreen (we live in hope!), wellies, a packed lunch (there is a café if you prefer), a change of clothes etc.  You will be able to leave bags in the picnic barn while you explore the park.

And on that farm he had a cow, E-I-E-I-O
With a “moo-moo” here and a “moo-moo” there
Here a “moo”, there a “moo”
Everywhere a “moo-moo”

Continue adding animals with their sounds — it’s fun to allow the children to take turns picking the next animal/sound combination

TWO men, ONE man and his dog – Woof! – went to mow a meadow.

Incy Wincy Spider

Incy Wincy Spider climbed up the water spout,
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain,
And Incy Wincy Spider climbed up the spout again.

Ladybird, Ladybird

Ladybird, ladybird,
Fly away home,
Your house is on fire,
And your children all gone,
All except one,
And that’s little Ann,
For she crept under,
The frying pan.

Little Arabella Miller

Little Arabella Miller
Found a hairy caterpillar.
First it crawled upon her mother,
Then upon her baby brother.
They said, “Arabella Miller,
Take away that caterpillar!”

Jack Be Nimble

Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick,
Jack jump over
The candle stick.
