I'm a little seed, small and round ( curl up in a ball)

 

Bury me deep, in the dark ground ( arms over head)

 

Sprinkle on some sun rays, ( child act as a sun, waves arms over the seed child)

 

and raindrops too ( then pretends to pour from a watering can)

 

Watch me grow as tall as you. ( gradually stretches high, arms up look up towards the ceiling)

 

Have fun

oops forgot to mention, to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot"

Some lovely rhymes and songs on the can teach website here

There's one that goes along the lines of:

 

First the farmer sows his seeds;

Then he stands and takes his ease..... (can't remember the rest and have misplaced my faithful Puffin Song Book!)

My class loved this song :

 

The farmer plants the seed,

The farmer plants the seed,

Hey, ho, the cherry-oh!

The farmer plants the seed.

 

The rain begins to fall, ....

 

The sun begins to shine, ....

 

The roots begin to grow, ...

 

The shoot begins to grow, ..

 

The flower smiles at me ....

 

Sung to The farmer's in the dell with appropriate hand actions.

Children loved putting their hands at the side of their 'flower face' and smiling at their mums and dads.

5 Fat peas in a pea pod pressed

 

1 Grew , 2 grew and so did all the rest ,

 

They grew and they grew and they did not stop ,

 

Until one day the pod went ........ POP !

Bit like Peggy's but there is a nice one in Julia Donaldson's Wriggle and Rhyme (Roar? Tickle?).

 

Nut is hiding down in the ground....
