Story:

The Sun & A Whitsun Daisy Story
Poem:
The ceiling
above our heads. The floor beneath our feet.
The walls around
us stand. The windows look outside.
Poem:
Good morning
when it’s morning. Good night when it is night.
Good evening
when it’s dark out. Good day when it is light.
Good morning
to the sunshine. Good evening to the sky.
And when it’s
time to go away, good bye good bye good bye.
Games Activities:
The Whitsun
Daisy Flower says: Mmmm, I wish I could have two feet, a body and two hands so I could play Dutch Football. Monkeys, do you
want to play? Yes. Pandas, do you want to play? Yes. Let’s go!
(The room is
divided into four sections with chalked lines. The pack is divided into four teams, one standing in each section with a ball.
On the word ‘GO’, all the students must try to keep the balls out of their section by kicking or throwing them
away. On the call ‘PACK’, they must all stop dead where they are and any section that has no balls gets a point.)
Song:
Over in the
meadow in the pond in the sun, Lived an old mother duck and her little duck 1. Quack, said the mother. I quack said the 1.
And they quacked and were happy in the pond in the sun.
Song and Poem:
Underneath
my big umbrella I can hear the rain
Underneath
my roof of yellow, singing down the lane.
Pichi pichi
chapu chapu ran ran ran
Underneath
my big umbrella I can see the sun
Down I bring
my roof of yellow for the rain is done.
Pichi pichi
chapu chapu ran ran ran

Five little
fishies swimming in the pool.
First one said

to guard it. The rest of the students are submarines and try to get through the entrance without being caught by the guard.)
Songs and Poems:
Father, Mother
and me, Sister and Auntie say,
All the people
like us are we, And every one is they.
Poem:
Little flowers,
little flowers, with your colors bright. Look above now to the sky full of warmth and light.
Praise the
lovely golden sun, he who gave us birth. Little flowers, fallen stars, shining on the earth.
Song:
Dandelion,
yellow as gold, What do you do all day?
I wait and
I wait in the tall green grass till the children come to play.
Poem:
Father, Mother
and me, Sister and Auntie say, All the people like us are we, And every one else is they.
Poem / Song:
Summer goodbye,
Summer goodbye. You may no longer stay.
Autumn is on
its way. Summer goodbye, Summer goodbye.
Song:
In and out
and round the house, round the house, round the house,
In and out
and round the house, there's lots of work to do.
Bring a boom
and sweep the floor, ... to make it bright and clean.
Bring your
soap and scrub the floor, ... to make it bright and clean.
Will you come
and dance with me, ... our work is done, hurray.
