Rhyme of the Week – Old Macdonald had a Farm and Family Fun Day Information

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.

Rhyme of the Week – Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb.
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow.

And everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went.
Everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day,
School one day, school one day.
It followed her to school one day,
which was against the rule.

It made the children laugh and play,
Laugh and play, laugh and play.
It made the children laugh and play,
to see a lamb at school.
