6th storytime of 2008

Theme:
Valentine's Day

I read:

Will you be my Valenswine? By Teresa Bateman
The Ballad of Valentine by Alison Jackson
Valentine Mice! by Bethany Roberts


We sang:

Kisses

I love kisses, I love kisses
Yes I do, Yes I do!
kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss
(kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss)
For me and you, me and you

I love kisses, I love kisses
Yes I do, Yes I do!
chocolatey delicious eat them off the dishes
For me and you, me and you


HEARTS ON THE MOVE
(sung to the tune of “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands”)
Wave your valentine In the air.
Wave your valentine In the air.
Wave your valentine In the air.
Wave your valentine in the air.
Put your valentine On your [nose].
Put your valentine On your [nose].
Put your valentine On your [nose].
Put your valentine on your [nose].
Repeat the last verse, replacing the underlined word with other
body part words in turn, such as head, arm, and foot




Pj, my sidekick the dog, handed out valentines and we had a nice sweet time!
It was a very happy active crowd of 48!

5th Storytime of 2008

Theme

Goat



We read...

Gordon in Charge by Jill Newton

Little Apple Goat by Caroline Jayne Church


We sang...

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly
There was an old lady who swallowed a fly
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - perhaps she'll die!
There was an old lady who swallowed a spider,
That wriggled and wiggled and tiggled inside her;
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!
There was an old lady who swallowed a bird;
How absurd to swallow a bird.
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!
There was an old lady who swallowed a cat;
Fancy that to swallow a cat!
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!
There was an old lady that swallowed a dog;
What a hog, to swallow a dog;
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!
There was an old lady who swallowed a cow,
I don't know how she swallowed a cow;
She swallowed the cow to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!
There was an old lady who swallowed a horse...She's dead, of course!

Because she...

Swallowed the horse to catch the cow
She swallowed the cow to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;

I don't know why she swallowed a fly -

But that's why she died!


We danced...

Touch your toes to your nose


We saw a puppet story...

There’s a Billy Goat in the Garden by Laurel Dee Gugler
