Song:
O the Lord is good to
me, and so I thank the Lord
For giving me the things
I need, the rain, the sun and the apple seeds.
The Lord is good to me.
Poem
When I was a little boy,
I jumped up in a tree.
There I found an elephant
just as big as you and me.
Along came a bumblebee…
Bumble down, tumble down,
out goes he!
Chant:
Jump high, jump low. Touch
the sky and the earth below.
Jump out wide, jump in
narrow. Hands to the ground. I’m a wheelbarrow.

Poem
Lots of animals come from
eggs
Some with fins and some
with legs
Some that chatter and
some that cheep
Some that fly and some
that creep
Some that slither and
some that run
Some with feathers and
some with none.
Animal eggs can be quite
small
Or as big as a tennis
ball.
Lots of animals come from
eggs
And lay them too.

Story
In the beginning, God
created the heaven and the Earth.
But the earth was without
form and dark
And darkness was upon
the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God
moved above the face of the waters.
And God said: Let there
be light, and there was light.
And God saw the light
was good.
And he divided the light
from the dark.
And he called the light
day, and the dark night.
And the evening
and the morning were the first day…
