Spring Hat Parade

Every year the children in Foundation learn songs for the Spring Hat Parade.  Then on the last day of term they wear their decorated hat in a parade and sing the songs for the parents.  Today was the day but it was raining!!!!  The one day a year that it rains when we go to school had to be this day! The event was moved down to the basement.  It was very nice but not quite the same as outside in the sunshine.

I’m a spring chicken and I’m yellow and small,
My feathers are fluffy and they’re keeping me warm.
My legs are not long, so I’m not very tall,
But I’m a real spring chicken and I’m having a ball,
I’m a chicken, I’m a chicken and I’m having a ball.

When all the cows were sleeping

And the sun had gone to bed

Up jumped the scarecrow

And this is what he said

I'm a dingle, dangle scarecrow

With a great big floppy hat

I can shake my hands like this

And I can shake my feet like that

When all the hens were roosting

And the moon behind a cloud

Up jumped the scarecrow

And shouted very loud

I'm a dingle, dangle scarecrow

With a great big floppy hat

I can shake my hands like this

And I can shake my feet like that
