The Run-Away Train

The runaway train came down the track and she blew,
The runaway train came down the track and she blew,
The runaway train came down the track, her whistle wide and her throttle back,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew. 

  

The engineer said the train must halt and she blew,
The engineer said the train must halt and she blew,
The engineer said the train must halt -- he said it was all the fireman's fault,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew. 

  

The fireman said he rang the bell and she blew,
The fireman said he rang the bell and she blew,
The fireman said he rang the bell -- the engineer said "Well you couldn't tell!"
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.

The runaway train went over the hill and she blew,
The runaway train went over the hill and she blew,
The runaway train went over the hill and the last we heard she was going still,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.

Clap Your Hands and Wiggle Your Fingers

Clap your hands and wiggle your fingers.
Clap your hands and wiggle your fingers.
Clap your hands and wiggle your fingers.
Now we've made a pattern.

Stamp your feet and slap your belly.
Stamp your feet and slap your belly.
Stamp your feet and slap your belly.
Now we've made a pattern.

Shake your arms and pull your ears.
Shake your arms and pull your ears.
Shake your arms and pull your ears.
Now we've made a pattern.

Open-Shut Them

Rhyme:

Open-shut them, 
Open-shut them,    (open and shut your fingers)
Give a little clap.

Open-shut them,
Open-shut them,
Put them on your lap.

Creep them, creep them       (creep your fingers up your body to your chin)
Creep them, creep 
Up to your little chin.

Open wide your little mouth,
But do not let them in!

Jolly Phonics Songs (Letters and Sounds)

Here are the Jolly Phonics songs

Raindrops

Here's a little rhyme we are learning.

Raindrops glisten,
Raindrops sparkle,
Raindrops fall and crash.

See them glimmer,
See them shimmer,
See them fall and splash.

Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes (Ceann, Gualainn, Gluin is Cos)

We are learning the Irish version:



Ceann, gualainn, gluin is cos.

Gluin is cos

Ceann, gualainn, gluin is cos.

Gluin is cos

Agus suile, cluasa, beal agus sron.

Ceann, gualainn, gluin is cos

Gluin is cos.

Mrs White

Here's a fun song to help the children to remember my name!

Mrs White had a firight

In the middle of the night

She saw a ghost, eating toast

Halfway up a lamppost.
