A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE UNDER FIVES

Oh, what a busy morning,

I’ve been playing with the dough

And with a little help upon a card,

I’ve even learnt to sew

I’ve helped my friend “nurse” Sarah with an operation,

Then fixed the track together for my train, and built a station,

I popped inside the Wendy house to make a cup of tea,

And stood beside the cooker making lunch for 23,

I completed three whole jigsaws

And played a new board game

And had a turn on all the bikes, the slide and climbing frame

I handed round the biscuits and milk at biscuit time,

Then I listened to a story and sang a nursery rhyme,

But now the mornings over and the mummies are all waiting,

I hope my Mother doesn’t say

“Oh, darling where’s your painting?”
