With a tuppence for paper and strings,
you can have your own set of wings,
with your feet on the ground
you’re a bird in flight
with your fist holding tight
to the string of your kite
 
Oh, oh, oh
Let’s go fly a kite
up to the highest height
Let’s go fly a kite and
Send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let’s go fly a kite
 
When you send it flying up there
All at once you’re lighter than air
You can dance on the breeze 
Over houses and trees
With your fist holding tight
To the string of your kite.
 
Oh, oh, oh
Let’s go fly a kite
up to the highest height
LEt’s go fly a kite and
Send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let’s go fly a kite

The three little kittens, they found their mittens,
And they began to cry,
„Oh, mother dear, see here, see here,
For we have found our mittens.“
„Put on your mittens, you silly kittens,
And you shall have some pie.“
„Purr, purr, purr,
Oh, let us have some pie.“

The three little kittens put on their mittens,
And soon ate up the pie,
„Oh, mother dear, we greatly fear,
That we have soiled our mittens.“
„What, soiled your mittens, you naughty kittens!“
Then they began to sigh,
„Meow, meow, meow,“
Then they began to sigh.

The three little kittens, they washed their mittens,
And hung them out to dry,
„Oh, mother dear, do you not hear,
That we have washed our mittens?“
„What, washed your mittens, then you’re good kittens,
But I smell a rat close by.“
„Meow, meow, meow,
We smell a rat close by.“

Tune: London Bridge

Autumn leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down
Autumn leaves are falling down, down down on the ground.

Students are standing, and holding their arms up high with
Their fingers wiggling like the leaves falling down. Begin to
Crouch down until they are as low as possible.

Rake them up and make a pile, make a pile, make a pile.
Rake them up and make a pile, guaranteed to make you smile.

Students stand up and pretend to rake the leaves. They
Stop raking and sing” guaranteed to make you smile”
While holding their fingers to their lips in a smiling grimace.

Jump into the pile of leaves, pile of leaves, pile of leaves
Jump into the pile of leaves, taking turns if you please.
Students jump up and down. They stop jumping and sing
“taking turns if you please” nice and strong.

Put a leaf in a book, in a book, in a book
Put a leaf in a book, in a few months take a look.
Students bend down, pretend to pick up a leaf and clap
Hands together as if closing the leaf in a book. Everyone
Sings “in a few months, take a look”.

Autumn leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down
Autumn leaves are falling down, down down on the ground.

Students are standing, and holding their arms up high with
Their fingers wiggling like the leaves falling down. Begin to
Crouch down until they are as low as possible

When I was one, I sucked my thumb,
The day I went to sea.
I climbed aboard a pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
‘We’re going this way, that way,
Forwards backwards,
Over the Irish Sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
A Pirates’ life for me’.

When I was two, I buckled my shoe,
The day I went to sea.
I climbed aboard a pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
‘We’re going this way, that way,
Forwards backwards,
Over the Irish Sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
A Pirate’s life for me’.

When I was three, I grazed my knee, 
The day I went to sea.
I climbed aboard a pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
‘We’re going this way, that way,
Forwards backwards,
Over the Irish Sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
A Pirate’s life for me’.

When I was four, I swam ashore,
The day I went to sea.
I climbed aboard a pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
‘We’re going this way, that way,
Forwards backwards,
Over the Irish Sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
A Pirate’s life for me’.

When I was five, I learned to dive, 
The day I went to sea.
I climbed aboard a pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
‘We’re going this way, that way,
Forwards backwards,
Over the Irish Sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
A Pirate’s life for me’.

When I was six, I gathered sticks,
The day I went to sea.
I climbed aboard a pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
‘We’re going this way, that way,
Forwards backwards,
Over the Irish Sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
A Pirate’s life for me’.

The three little kittens, they lost their mittens,

And they began to cry,

That we have lost our mittens.“
„What! Lost your mittens, you naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie.“

„Then you shall have no pie.“

Tune: „This Old Man“
Apple pie, apple pie,
Please don’t take my apple pie.
You can take away the green grass,
Take away the sky,
Please don’t take my apple pie.

Tune: „Twinkle twinkle“
Rainbow, rainbow in the sky
Full of colours my oh my.
Red and orange yellow too
Green and blue and purple, ooooo
Rainbow, rainbow in the sky,
Full of colours, my, oh, my.

Sing a song of sixpence

Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds,
Baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing;
Wasn’t that a dainty dish,
To set before the king?

The king was in his counting house,
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlour,
Eating bread and honey.

The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose.

Tune: „The Farmer in the Dell“
The sun is shining bright
The sun is shining bright
Oh, how I love the warmth,
The sun is shining bright.

The rain is falling down,
The rain is falling down,
Oh, how I love the sound,
The rain is falling down.

The flowers start to bloom,
The flowers start to bloom,
Oh, how I love the sight,
The flowers start to bloom.
