Have To Go Out

 

 Sometimes its chilly

It’s freezing out there!

Scarf, hat,

Gloves and coat

Jumper and fleece

Warm and tucked in

Tight, cosy

A fat ball

Have to go out

Snowball fights

On our sledge

Make a snowman

It is fun,

Fantastic!

 

 

 Spring

 

 

 Skipping through The Grass

 

 Skipping - Happy

I’d like to live here

Play football

Grass,

    when you are skipping;

Wet and tickle

Cold and funny

Better than being inside

Inside feeling sad

Smelling happy flowers

Makes me want to play

 

 

 

 Bird In The Nest

 

 Stretch – Yawn

Building a nest

Sitting on eggs

Keeping warm

Crack!

Out come chicks

 

 

 

 Wings To Fly

 

 Caterpillar

Spins a cocoon

Then,

Comes out to play

Hungry

Nibbling through cocoon

Sitting on a sunflower

Eating nectar

Flapping my wings

Wings to fly

Flying is exciting

 

 

 

 Sleepy Field Mouse

 

 Cute and cold

Lives in cold

In a little hole

Sleepy and grumpy

Very hungry

Needs to be warm

Moving a little slow

Then fast

 

 Looking For Blossoms

 

 Hungry – Thirsty

Run – Honey

Nice – Warm

Happy – Grow

Pop – Sweet

Bees

 

 

 Baby Horses

 

 They gallop

Called foals

They play

Funny and pretty

Run around and play

When he is bigger we

Can ride on him

They are exciting

 

 Waiting To Fly

 

 Worms to eat

Bigger and faster

Baby bird,

Flying away

See

Blossom on the trees

 

 

 Little Lamb

 

 Soft and fluffy

He eats grass

Runs and skips

Jumps

 

 

 Summer

 

 Outside In Summer

 

 Hot – Happy

Wish we could stay all day

Blue

White clouds

Sunshine

Aeroplane

Birds flying past

 

 

  Daisies

 

 Juice inside

White

Yellow like chicks

Purple

And pretty colours

Growing in the ground

Small as a caterpillar,

All curled up

 

 

 Butterfly

 

 Flapping

Drinking

Fluttery

Tickly

Flying with wings

 

 

 Looking At Roses

 

 Prickly roses

Hole in my finger

Red – Light blue

Purple – Yellow

Green stalk – stem

Yellow like the sun

 

 

 Be A Bee . . .

 

 Buzzing around

Sting you!

Honey,

From the flowers

Honey,

For Poo Bear

Fly past the rainbow

  

Word and Rhythm of the Seasons

Summer Play

 

 Happy

Long hair bouncing

Bouncy, jumpy

Windy, turning

Rumbling and tumbling

Skipping

 

 Rainbows

 

 Rain and sunny

Rainbow

Makes you happy

Colours;

Red, yellow

Pink, blue

Orange, green

Purple

Gold;

At the bottom

 

 Flowers

 

 Blues bells:

Smell like bells!

Sniffing

Nice like lemon

Deep breathing

Wish we could smell;

All the time

Flowers

 

 Longing For A Long Drink

 

 Tired – Slow

Looking for drink

Too hot to skip, jump

Walking not running

Dry mouth

Wet cold water,

Orange,

Summer fruits!
