If all the seas were one sea, and picks on all the guys,
What a great sea that would be! that new kid scares me some,
If all the trees were one tree, (that new kid's twice my size),
What a great tree that would be! that new kid stomped my toes,
If all the axes were one axe, that new kid swiped my ball,
What a great axe that would be! that new kid's really bad,
If all the men were one man, I don't care for her at all.
What a great man he would be!
And if the great man took the great axe, All students together:
And cut down the great tree, Our poem is called ‘Big and little waves”
And let it fall into the great sea, There are big waves and little waves,
What a great splash-splash that would be! Green waves and blue,
Waves you can jump over,
Student 4: Waves you dive through
This poem is called ‘Your nose’ Waves that rise up
Be glad your nose is on your face, Like a great water wall
not pasted on some other place, Waves that swell softly
for if it were where it is not, And don't break at all,
you might dislike your nose a lot. Waves that can whisper,
Waves that can roar
Imagine if your precious nose
were sandwiched in between your toes,
that clearly would not be a treat,
for you'd be forced to smell your feet.
Your nose would be a source of dread
were it attached atop your head,
it soon would drive you to despair,
forever tickled by your hair.
And tiny waves that run at you
Playing on the shore.
‘A Little Help from my Friends’
Students should memorise the song and make actions/a dance for the lines.
1 Student: Hello, this is a very famous song we know by The Beatles. It is called ‘A Little Help
from my Friends’
What would do if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends.
What do I do when your friends are away.
[1 student only] Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day?
[1 student only] Are you sad because you're on your own?
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends.
Do you neeeeed anybody?
I need somebody to love.
Could it beeee anybody?
I want somebody to love.
What would think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends.
Do you neeeeed anybody?
I need somebody to love.
Could it beeee anybody?
I want somebody to love.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
with a little help from my frieeeends!

‘Yellow Submarine’
Students should memorise the song and make actions/a dance for the lines.
1 Student: Hello, this is a very famous song we know by The Beatles. It is called ‘A Yellow
Submarine’
In the town where I was born,
Lived a man who sailed to sea,
And he told us of his life,
In the land of submarines,
So we sailed on to the sun,
Till we found the sea of green,
And we lived under the waves,
In our yellow submarine,
We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
All our friends are all aboard,
Many more of them live next door,
And the band begins to play.
(Trumpets play)
We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
We all live a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

Near the village,
