SPLASHING AND SWIMMING IN THE SUMMER TIME

SPLASHING AND SWIMMING IN THE SUMMER TIME

Summer Morning Circle

By Jennifer McCormack, Summer 2010

Sung(chorus)

Splashing and swimming in the summer time

Cooling off in the water is just fine

Diving and kicking, keeping ourselves cool

Splashing about at the beach, creek or pool!

Spoken

This morning we go creeping down to our little creek

Where the water trickles slowly and it isn’t very deep

Heavy rocks and little rocks to lift and throw!

Make a rock castle and watch it grow

Repeat Chorus

Spoken

Today we are swimming in our local pool

There are lots of people here keeping themselves cool

Breast stroke, free-style and back stroke too

We practise our swimming in the local pool

Repeat Chorus

Spoken

Running down to the beach on hot, hot sand!

The waves foam and roll and crash on the land

 “Stay between the flags”, the life guards say

Swimming with our boogie boards all the day

Repeat Chorus

Spoken

A drink of water and long-sleeved clothes

A hat to stop the sunfaires dancing on my nose

Wherever we swim, we must learn

To enjoy the water without a sunburn!

Repeat Chorus
