RHYMES
1. I’m A Little Fish
(Tune: I’m a Little Teapot)
I’m a little fishy, I can swim,
Here is my tail, here is my fin.
When I want to have fun with my friends
I wiggle my tail and dive right in.
2. My Bubbles Flew Over The Ocean
(Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean)
My bubbles flew over the ocean,
My bubbles flew over the sea,
My bubbles flew over the rainbow,
Oh come back my bubbles to me.
Come back, come back, oh come back my bubbles to me.
3 Mary, Mary Quite Contrary
Mary, Mary quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row.
4.A Sailor Went To Sea
A sailor went to sea, sea, sea
To see what he could see, see, see
But all that he could see, see, see
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea.
5. The Big Ship Sails on the Alley, Alley O.
The big ship sails on the alley, alley O,
The alley, alley O, the alley, alley O.
The big ship sails on the alley, alley O,
On the last day of September.
The captain said " It will never, never do etc..
The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea etc..
We all dip our heads in the deep, blue sea etc
6 Going Fishing!
Did you ever go fishing on a bright sunny day?
Sit on a fence and have the fence give way?
Slide off the fence and rip your pants,
And see the little fishes do the hootchy-kootchy dance
7. Crab
I found a little rock pool,
I took a little dip.
A naughty crab came scuttling up
And gave me such a nip!
I popped him in my pocket
Then threw him in the sea
And all the fish told him off
For being mean to me.
8. The Sun Has Got It’s Hat On
The sun has got it’s hat on
Hip hip hip hooray
The sun has got it’s hat on
And it’s coming out to play

A Final Note...
Where did the year go? We feel it has been a very busy but rewarding
year for us as a staff. A huge thank you to all of the parents that have
got involved and supported their children’s education. We hope everyone,
parents and children, have enjoyed their Nursery experience and we wish
your child every happiness and success in the next stage of his/her
education. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for
supporting me and all the staff throughout a very busy and successful
year. Enjoy your summer holidays! Hopefully the sun will shine!
Many thanks
