Here's a little poem the older children in the kindergarten like to sing:
Six Year Old Blues
Mum sent me to the Steiner
And Kindie’s mostly nice,
We play outside all winter
And skid across the ice!
But now I’ve got a problem:
“I want to go to school!”
All my friends are going
And they say it’s really cool.
My teeth are just not wobbling,
I missed the Easter test,
I’ve even got a special game
To help me with the rest:
I lift my hand,
I tug my arm,
I try to reach my ear
I think my head is far too big;
I get so very near.
I met the nice class teacher,
She smiled & knew my name,
She even had a chuckle
When I showed her my ear game
I think she really likes me,
She said I was the best,
But she was sad as sad could be
I missed the Easter test.
I lift my hand,
I tug my arm,
I try to reach my ear;
I think my head is far too big:
Now I’ll have to wait ONE WHOLE YEAR!
