Mark and the Ark
There was once a young boy called Mark,
Who wanted to live in an ark.
He called up poor Noah,
But Noah said " No....ah,
Why don’t you live in the park.

The Lady from Mars
There was an old lady from Mars,
Who liked to ride on the stars,
One night she fell
All the way to hell
So now she is behind bars.

History
My friend thinks history is boring.
When teacher mentions that subject she starts groaning.
She hates listening about castles,
She rathers the battles.
She claps for the Vikings ‘cause she likes all
their fighting.
Her name is Claire but she doesn’t care
Any little bit about legends or myths
because she thinks history is boring.

The Seaside
When you go to the seaside
Listen to all the noises that you hear
and make,
When you walk in the sand you make a
Squish, squish, squish sound,
When you walk on the stones you
make a .....
Scrunch, scrunch, scrunch sound,
And when you’re in the water you
make a .....
Splash, splash, splash sound,
When you’re at the seaside you make
lots of noises.
the seaside is good fun.

The Pound
There was once a wolf-hound
Who had to go to the Pound
He was given a bone
But left alone
Then he started to moan and groan.

The Seasons
Spring time is here again,
Squirrels, hedgehogs and badgers
all wake up.
Go Spring go.
Come, Summer come,
And let the children swim in the
seas.
Go, Summer go.
Come Autumn, come,
And blow the leaves off the trees.
Go, Autumn, go.
Winter is here again,
And freezes all the puddles,
Bringing a white sheet of snow
But after all that he gives us
Something nice which is Christmas
