Songs we sang today:

"The Ants Go Marching"

The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one,
the little one stops to suck his thumb
And they all go marching down, to the ground,
to get out, of the rain...BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

The ants go marching two by two...
The little one stops to tie his shoe

The ants go marching three by three...
The little one stops to climb a tree

The ants go marching four by four...
The little one stops to shut the door

The ants go marching five by five...
The little one stops to take a dive

And they all go marching down, to the ground,
to get out, of the rain...BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

"Two Little Red Birds"

Two little red birds sitting on a hill
One named Jack, one named Jill
Fly away Jack, fly away Jill
Come back Jack, come back Jill.

Two little red birds sitting in the snow
One named Fast, one named Slow
Fly away Fast, fly away Slow
Come back Fast, come back Slow.

Two little red birds sitting in the snow
One named High, one named Low
Fly away High, fly away Low
Come back High, come back Low.

Two little red birds sitting on a gate
One named Early, one named Late
Fly away Early, fly away Late
Come back Early, come back Late.

"Here We Go Round the Apple Tree"

Here we go round the apple tree
the apple tree, the apple tree
Here we go round the apple tree
on a cool and sunny morning.

This is the way we climp the tree
climb the tree, climb the tree
This is the way we climp the tree
on a cool and sunny morning.

This is the way we pick the fruit
pick the fruit, pick the fruit
This is the way we pick the fruit
on a cool and sunny morning.

This is the way we eat the fruit
eat the fruit, eat the fruit
This is the way we pick the fruit
on a cool and sunny morning.
