katekit Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 We are in a church school and the senior citizens use our hall for their 'club' on a Tuesday - we have been to see them for the past few years at Harvest and have taken our collection of fruit and veg and we decorate cakes for them. The adults share out the things from the veg basket to take home and the children give each one a cake. We feel this is practical for our children to see 'good sharing', (the whole school collect food for Cornerstones). We usually sing some of our class songs for them and they always give us a treat as a thank you. Cath
Cait Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 There's this one Cauliflowers Fluffy and cabbages green Strawberries are sweeter than any I've seen Beetroots purple and onions white All grow steadily day and night The apples are ripe and the plums are red The broadbeans are sleeping in their blankety bed Blackberries are juicy and rhubarb's sour Marrows fattening hour by hour Gooseberries hairy and lettuces fat Radishes round and runner beans flat The apples are ripe and the plums are red The broadbeans are sleeping in their blankety bed Orangey carrots and turnips cream Reddening tomatoes that used to be green Brown potatoes in little heaps Down in the darkness where the celery sleeps The apples are ripe and the plums are red The broadbeans are sleeping in their blankety bed, Yea!
Cait Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 or this one Autumn Days Lyrics Autumn days, when the grass is jewelled And the silk inside a chestnut shell Jet planes meeting in the air to be refuelled All these things I love so well So I mustn’t forget No, I mustn’t forget To say a great big thank you I mustn’t forget. Clouds that look like familiar faces And a winter’s moon with frosted rings Smell of bacon as I fasten up my laces And the song the milkman sings. So I mustn’t forget No, I mustn’t forget To say a great big thank you I mustn’t forget. Whipped-up spray that is rainbow-scattered And a swallow curving in the sky Shoes so comfy though they’re worn out and they’re battered And the taste of apple pie. So I mustn’t forget No, I mustn’t forget To say a great big thank you I mustn’t forget. Scent of gardens when the rain’s been falling And a minnow darting down a stream Picked-up engine that’s been stuttering and stalling And a win for my home team. So I mustn’t forget No, I mustn’t forget To say a great big thank you I mustn’t forget. Autumn Days by Estelle White
