St. George travelled for many months by land and sea until he came to Libya. Here he met a poor hermit who told him that everyone in that land was in great distress, for a dragon had long ravaged the country.

'Every day,' said the old man, 'he demands the sacrifice of a beautiful maiden and now all the young girls have been killed. The king's daughter alone remains, and unless we can find a knight who can slay the dragon she will be sacrificed tomorrow. The king of Egypt will give his daughter in marriage to the champion who overcomes this terrible monster.'

When St. George heard this story, he was determined to try and save the princess, so he rested that night in the hermit's hut, and at daybreak set out to the valley where the dragon lived. When he drew near he saw a little procession of women, headed by a beautiful girl dressed in pure Arabian silk. The princess Sabra was being led by her attendants to the place of death. The knight spurred his horse and overtook the ladies. He comforted them with brave words and persuaded the princess to return to the palace. Then he entered the valley.

Here comes Peter Cottontail story

Here comes Peter Cottontail is an exciting Easter tale. Peter Cottontail is challenged by the evil Irontail to a contest to see who can deliver the most decorated eggs. The winner receives the title of Easter Bunny.

"Here Comes Peter Cottontail"

Here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hopping' down the bunny trail,
Hippity, hoppity,
Easter's on its way.

Bringing' every girl and boy
Baskets full of Easter joy,
Things to make your
-- Easter bright and gay.

He's got jellybeans for Tommy,
Colored eggs for sister Sue,
There's an orchid for your Mommy
And an Easter bonnet, too.

Oh! here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hopping' down the bunny trail,
Hippity hoppity,
Happy Easter day.

Verse 2:

Here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hopping' down the bunny trail,
Look at him stop,
and listen to him say:

"Try to do the things you should."
Maybe if you're extra good,
He'll roll lots of
-- Easter eggs your way.
You'll wake up on Easter morning
And you'll know that he was there
When you find those chocolate bunnies
That he's hiding everywhere.
Oh! here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hopping' down the bunny trail,
Hippity hoppity,
Happy Easter day.

Legend of Nessie

THE LOCH NESS MONSTER
by Blue Mango Theatre
15th March 2010 at School


People have been looking for the famous Loch Ness Monster, “Nessie” for generations. She has, in fact, been living in her cave in Loch Ness, Scotland and is over nine hundred years old. She’s basically a friendly monster, though she can look a bit scary as she’s so huge. One day her peace is disturbed by Madison the mad scientist, who is determined to find “Nessie”, tell the world and become rich and famous. With songs, live scientific experiments and constant interaction with the audience, the show tells this Scottish legend whilst incorporating the CLIL topic of the water cycle.

"Going on a Bear Hunt" Lyrics

Do the Bear Hunt Chant

 Like most songs of this sort, there are many different versions. Here are some sample lyrics, but feel free to make up your own. That's part of the fun.

Going on a Bear Hunt (tap legs in walking rhythm)
Gonna catch a big one
I'm not afraid
What's that up ahead? (shade eyes)

Oh no! Tall grass
Can't go over it (hands high)
Can't go under it (hands low)
Gotta go through it
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish (wave arms back and forth)

Repeat all of the above, and replace the part in italics with

A wide river
Splish splash, splish splash, splish splash, splish splash (swimming motions)

Yucky mud
Squish, squish, squish, squish, squish, squish, squish, squish (stepping motions)

A dark forest
Stumble, trip, stumble, trip, stumble, trip, stumble, trip

A big snowstorm
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo (wave arm, cover face)

A dark cave
Tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe (tiptoe stepping motions)

What's that?
Fuzzy fur
Big eyes
Wet nose
Sharp teeth
It's a bear!

Back through the cave

Tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe (tiptoe stepping motions, double time)

(Retrace steps at double time)

We're not going on a bear hunt again!
