Poems Learned

These are some of the poems and songs Junior Infants have learned so far this year.

Horsey Horsey

Horsey, horsey, don’t you stop
Just let your feet go clippety-clop
Your tail goes swish and your wheels go round
Giddy up, we’re homeward bound.

Horsey, horsey, on your way
We’ve made the journey many a day.
Your tail goes swish and your wheels go round
Giddy up, we’re homeward bound.


Monkey See and Monkey Do

The monkey clap, clap, claps his hands
The monkey clap, clap, claps his hands
Monkey see and monkey do
The monkey does the same as you.

The monkey nod, nod, nods his head
The monkey nod, nod, nods his head
Monkey see and monkey do
The monkey does the same as you.


Mise an Traein

Mise an traein, puf, puf, puf, puf.
Mise an madra, bhuf, bhuf, bhuf.
Mise an bus, bíp, bíp, bíp, bíp.
Mise an sicín, tsíp, tsíp, tsíp.

Butterfly

Butterfly, butterfly, flap your wings and fly up high.
Butterfly, butterfly, fly up to the sky.

The Snail

Slowly, slowly, very slowly
Creeps the garden snail
Slowly, slowly, very slowly,
Up the garden rail.

Quickly, quickly, very quickly
Runs the little mouse
Quickly, quickly, very quickly
Round about the house.


Finger Play

Open, shut them, open shut them
Give a little clap
Open, shut them, open shut them
Put them in your lap.
Creep them, creep them, creep them, creep them
Right up to your chin
Open up your little mouth but do not put them in!

One Finger, One Thumb

One finger, one thumb, keep moving
One finger, one thumb, keep moving
One finger, one thumb, keep moving
We’ll all be merry and bright.

One finger, one thumb, one arm keep moving
One finger, one thumb, one arm keep moving
One finger, one thumb, one arm keep moving
We’ll all be merry and bright.

One finger, one thumb, one arm, one leg keep moving
One finger, one thumb, one arm, one leg keep moving
One finger, one thumb, one arm, one leg keep moving
We’ll all be merry and bright.

One nod of the head, one finger, one thumb, one arm, one leg keep moving
One nod of the head, one finger, one thumb, one arm, one leg keep moving
One nod of the head, one finger, one thumb, one arm, one leg keep moving
We’ll all be merry and bright.

Stand up, turn around, sit down, one nod of the head, one finger, one thumb, one arm, one leg keep moving
Stand up, turn around, sit down, one nod of the head, one finger, one thumb, one arm, one leg keep moving
Stand up, turn around, sit down, one nod of the head, one finger, one thumb, one arm, one leg keep moving
We’ll all be merry and bright.
