The Lazy Teacher
A lazy teacher called Mr Edward,
Never bothered to pick up the phone,
So he missed out on plans,
Lost touch with his gang,
And spent every day alone!

I had a little baby
And my baby was so small
She licked me in the face
And learnt how to crawl.

The Snowmen are Standing
The snowmen are standing
In a hand banding
Playing and clapping
Doing a handstand
One fell over and then started standing

Spring
Spring is here
Pansies, roses and daffodils,
Growing from the ground,
New born animals getting bigger every day,
Ignore the pouring rain,
Nothing is better than spring
Glorious and magical,
It doesn’t last for long!
By Grace I and Ella
