I’m off to nursery school today
    For a couple of hours or so.
I’m glad that Mummy’s taking me
     For I don’t know where to go.

I’m learning many different words -
    New adjectives and nouns.
I’ll remember all my colours - 
    The reds, the greens and browns.

​

Yes, I’m off to nursery school today
     But it’s hard to say goodbye.
I know I won’t be there for long 
    And it’s silly if I cry.

​

There are lots of lovely toys for us 
    And many games to play,
But that which I like best of all 
     Are biscuits from the tray.

​

We learn to sing, we learn to dance 
    And climb up on the slide.
I’ve done a pretty picture which
     I’ll give to Mum with pride.

​

I’m learning how to share the toys 
    With other girls and boys,
But why is it they want to keep 
    My very favourite toys?

​

The action games are fun.  I know
    My shoulders from my knees,
And I met little *Susie Spider  
     And *Beven Grumble Bee.

​

I can clap my hands, touch my toes 
    And jump right in the air.
It’s nice to meet new children 
    And discover what they wear.

​

Now nursery school has finished 
    And Mum’s waiting by the door.
The time has gone by much too fast.  
     Tomorrow there’ll be more.

​

So just for now I’ll say goodbye - 
    We’ll meet another day.
My nursery school is just the place
     To meet my friends and play.
