'At the Playground' by Brian Moses, read by Farrah Izzatul

At the Playground

When we went to the playground

I  swung on the swings, 

I slid on the slide,

I hung from the rings.

I raced over to Mum

for a kiss and a cuddle,

but as we were leaving,

I fell in a puddle!

'Clap Your Hands' by Pam Gidney, read by Sazwani Suhailah

Clap Your Hands

Clap your hands

Above your head -

Wake up, wake up,

Sleepyhead.

Clap your hands

Behind your back.

Make a click

And then a clack.

Clap your hands

From side to side.

Hold your arms out

Very wide.

Clap hands fast

With your best friend.

Now our game

Is at an end!

'The Flame of the Forest', read by Akmal

The Flame of the Forest

In January, I go to the park

I see a tree, a crooked green tree

It has no leaves

What an ugly tree!

In February, I go to the park

The ugly tree - is it on fire?

No, it's covered with flowers!

Read and orange flowers

It is called The Flame of the Forest

How beautiful it looks!

'Sand Castle' by J. Patrick Lewis, read by Ahmad

Sand Castle

I built a house

One afternoon

With bucket, cup,

And fork and spoon,

Then scooped a shovel-

ful of shore

On top to add

The second floor.

But when the fingers

Of the sea

Reached up and waved

A wave to me,

It tumbled down

Like dominoes

And disappeared

Between my toes.

'Woodpecker' by Brenda Williams, read by Elia

Woodpecker

Woodpecker, woodpecker

Tapping at the tree

Woodpecker, woodpecker

Can't you see?

Woodpecker, woodpecker

You can't win

You can knock all day

But there's no one in!

'The Sandwich' by Tony Bradman, read by Teacher Ann

The Sandwich

Oh what shall I have

Today for my tea?

I know - a sandwich,

As big as can be!

I'll start with the bread,

Two slices, quite large;

Then slap on some jam,

Oh yes, and some marge,

I'll put in some cheese,

A tomato or two,

And maybe an onion

This big one will do!

I'll bung in some lettuce,

A radish, of course,

And...a sizzling burger,

All covered in sauce!

Add in some chicken,

And maybe some chips,

Some biscuits, an apple,

A packet of crisps,

A cake with some candles,

Some chocolate (one bar),

Spaghetti, bananas,

Sweets from a jar,

Baked beans and humbugs,

Carrots and mustard,

All topped off with cream

And steaming hot custard...

Now a sandwich like that

You really can't beat,

It's packed out with goodies,

A real tasty treat.

There's only one problem;

It's breaking my heart...

It's such a big sandwich - 

Where do I start?
