The Magic Bee Hive
11.09.22
This Bee House, this Bee Hive is magic, you know?
Just have a wee taste of this honeycomb
delicious and juicy and sweet and sticky
just take a wee drop and you might feel so lucky
Buzzzzzz
Buzzzzzzz
Can you hear us?
We are BUZZING!
We are now Honey Bees and our flight is so dazzling!
We make lovely patterns high up in the air,
We explore all the flowers, the trees and the heather!
And thanks to the Transformer sweet that we had
we are now back to Humans for some sliding fun!
Look how huge and high this enormous chute is!
If you get stuck …
we will help you up …
you will feel so brave …
as if you could fly …
Now here at the top we must flex and twist
get our bodies ready for the exciting WHEEEEEEEEE!
Can you do this? And this?
Then add that and then hop?
We’re the Saturday Gang ready to leave the top!
WHEEEEEEE
WHOOOOOOSHHHH
YIPEEEEE
HURRAY!
After the Summer break we’re together again!!

Magic Tricks for the Witchy Queen!
16.09.21
It’s time to perform for the Witchy Queen! Bring a dance or sing a song, for you do not want to go wrong with the Witchy Wonderful Queen!
Make her laugh, don’t make her cry for then she might turn you into a fly!!
BuzzzzzzZZZz!
‘Cackle, cackle, cackle!,’ she cried, ‘who’s got a rhyme for me? I need a great big laugh from you before I go for my tea!’
So the Scottish Witches gathered round and came up with a plan! They would perform some magic tricks of which she’d be a fan!
Witchy Fredaous made a yellow ball disappear!
Witchy Jessica shared her magic milk that made everyone fly!
Shullamite’s Spooky Cow appeared with an ooky spooky moo!
The Witchy Queen she loved it all and shouted out ‘Wohoo!’
All of the Witches had wonderful hair, made from pyjamas, towels and wigs! They climbed onto their broomsticks made from mud, green goo and twigs!
Off they flew into the night, among the stars and moon, and flew back town to the Magic Ball crying out ‘We’ll be back soon!’

Our imaginations truly are a super power!
A hot summer’s day even though it’s September
this is the warmest day I can ever remember!
The smells in the air all lovely and sweet,
today I meet my pals at Licketyspit!
Great to catch up after having a break
and get back together for imaginary play.
There are new faces, old pals and a thirst for more adventures,
Let’s have a good old dance, dress up and be momentous
for we take play seriously and hilariously as well
get on the Magic Ball and I’ll show what we mean!
Up a mountain meeting wolves who are hungry for sweet cakes
brave and happy our Brown gives him one and saves the day!
Sledging down swiftly and we can see the Eiffel Tower
our imaginations truly are a super power!
George speaks French and Ameen speaks wolf language
don’t you tell me that my pals are not incredibly handy!
Arrived at Madame Marvellous’ Cake shop
who’s cakes can make you float
so high you’ll need a coat
and on that note
would you like a lollipop?
