"Spring, the most welcome of seasons, comes yet very slowly. The spell of winter is hard to shake off. Catkins seem in no hurry to lengthen, a new shoot passes through a clod of earth but lingers, reluctant to rise in the cold air. As the days grow longer and the breeze softens, we patiently wait and hope. The stony ground realizes, the ditches gurgle with the spring rains, and juicy buds swell on the twig. Suddenly comes the surprise of a warm day, and with it the urgent activity of growth. Beneath our feet the ground turns lush, the hedges fatten in a haze of green, and a hungry bee flies past. Nature springs effortlessly into creative action; the birds sing praise in concert." From the wonderful book: All Year Round A traditional Spring story (author unknown) A caterpillar crawled to the top of a tree‘ I think I’ll take a nap’, said he So under a leaf he began to creep To spin his cocoon and he fell asleep All winter long he slept in his bed Til Spring came along one day and said Wake up, wake up little sleepy head Wake up, it’s time to get out of bed So he opened his eyes that sunshiny day Oh! He was a butterfly and flew away! ********************************* Caterpillar, caterpillar creep away & hide you soon Caterpillar, caterpillar spin yourself a warm cocoon Dark & silent lie, til you are a butterfly Dark & silent lie, til you are a butterfly ********************************* Caterpillar, caterpillar you are such a pretty sight Caterpillar, caterpillar green & yellow, black & white Take care what you do, Robins are a watching you Take care what you do, Robins are a watching you ********************************* This is a house for Robin (make a nest with hands) This is a hive for a bee (two fists together to make a hive) This is a hole for a bunny (thumbs and pointers on both hands to make a hole) And this is a house for me (arm & hands form roof overhead) *********************************
