EASTER
AHCM325

Easter pleased her – Why was that?
She could wear her Easter hat.
A lovely bonnet trimmed in pink:
Such a beauty, don’t you think?
Easter pleased him too – that’s true:
He knows what he likes to do.
Chomping chocolate eggs all day –
What a yummy, scrummy day!

JUST A PENNY
AHCM324
by Alison Hedger

Just a humble penny piece
Not worth a lot, I agree.
But I have had a busy life
In sky, on land, at sea.
I’ve spent time in a bank vault
Wishing to be free,
And had a year or two as cash
In a gaming machine. Whoop-eee!
I’ve been won and spent, and then guess what?
I chinked around a purse
That smelt only of TCP.
The owner was a nurse.
Hidden in a pocket
I flew off to foreign lands.
Then came back to please a child
With icky sticky hands.
I’ve been dropped into collecting bags
In churches near and far.
And even had a boring spell
Inside a dusty car.
I’ve been aboard a pleasure boat
And helped to buy a treat.
Pink ice cream if I recall,
For a man with booted feet.
In the park it rained for days
And I got really clean.
By sparkling in the morning sun
I once again was seen.
My long wet wait was over,
I was picked up with much glee
And taken off with undue haste
And used to pay for tea.
Never knowing what is next
Is part of all the fun.
I only hope the penny piece
Circulates for years to come.

MARCHING SOLDIERS
by Alison Hedger
AHCM315

March on the spot, keeping a regular pulse (use drums if possible)
Organise soldiers into squads, with a commanding officer(s) receiving the salutes
Marching, marching,
We are marching soldiers.
As soldiers we always obey.
OK! Yes Sir!
Obey, right away! (Salute together)
Marching, marching,
We are marching soldiers.
We carry out our orders right away.
OK! Yes Sir!
Obey, right away! (Salute together)
Marching, marching,
We are marching soldiers.
We follow our leader every day.
OK! Yes Sir!
Obey, right away! (Salute together)

LETS MAKE A CAKE

Let’s work together and make a cake to share
It will be the best cake anywhere!
1. First we beat the butter with the sugar
Mix them up and whisk with care…
Let’s work together and make a cake to share
It will be the best cake anywhere!
2. Now we stir in fresh eggs one by one
Gently does it, this is fun….
Let’s work together and make a cake to share
It will be the best cake anywhere!
3. Now we fold in flour with a spoon
Chocolate chips will go in soon…
Let’s work together and make a cake to share
It will be the best cake anywhere!
4. Like our cake, good things could soon be done
If we share and work as one…
Let’s work together and make a cake to share
It will be the best cake anywhere!

IZZY’S LITTLE BLUE HANDBAG
by Alison Hedger
AHCM310
Click here to print
I have a little blue handbag,
As I walk it bangs my knee.
It was a birthday present
And it’s very dear to me.
It has a boxy bottom
So it can stand alone –
It is the perfect hiding place
For my own mobile phone.
The handle sits up by itself
And is covered with some lace.
Pretty sparkles decorate the front,
Four studs are on the base.
I love the little zipper purse
Which is my bestest place:
I zip it up and zip it down
And pull a grown-up face!
I take all sorts of things with me
When I go out all day.
A lipstick and an elastic band,
And a game for me to play.
My bag is full of precious things
Which I take everywhere;
Including my old floppy doll
And a brush to do her hair.
All my friends have seen my bag
And think it simply great.
I hope I get another bag,
Next birthday when I’m eight!

THE PARROT POEM
by Alison Hedger AHCM323
Click here to print
With actions: devise simple signs for SUN, RAIN and FLAP.
Hold hand to mouth to shout first “Ship ahoy – pretty boy”
Pinch nose for the parrot’s echo!
Oh the sun will shine
And the rain will fall
The sails will flap
And I will call
“Ship ahoy – pretty boy”
(pinch nose!)
PARROT’S ECHO:“Ship ahoy – pretty boy”

WATER IS HEAVY!
Poem by Alison Hedger AHCM321
Click here to print
“Fill this bucket up with water –
Come and help me, little daughter.”
But the bucket filled with water
Was too heavy for my daughter.
Heavy water,
Little daughter:
“Try to carry just a quarter.”
But a quarter of the water
Still was heavy for my daughter!
So instead, I went and brought her
Just a tumbler of clear water.
This she drank,
And said I’d taught her
Just how heavy weighed bright water

HAVE A GOOD DAY!
Poem by Alison Hedger AHCM322
Click here to print
Some days are wet,
Some days are dry.
Whatever the weather we must try
To have a good day.
“Good day!”
Some days are hot,
Some days are cold.
Whatever the weather we are told
To have a good day.
“Good day!”
Some days are sunny,
Some days are grey.
Whatever the weather we shall say
“Have a good day!
Good day!”
