A Summer Holiday Poem

The school gates close with one last cheer,
"The summer holidays are here!"
My backpack's packed away to rest,
Now every day is simply the best.

I chase bright butterflies through flowers,
And spend outside such happy hours.
I zoom my scooter down the lane,
Then race back home and out again.

We picnic underneath the trees,
With juicy fruit and gentle breeze.
The birds all sing a merry song,
Inviting everyone along.

We visit farms and feed the sheep,
Where sleepy piglets snore and sleep.
I wave at horses, ducks and goats,
And giggle at their funny coats.

Ice cream melts upon my nose,
Sticky fingers, sandy toes!
We hunt for shells beside the sea,
Each one a tiny mystery.

I help to bake some yummy treats,
Mixing cakes and sugary sweets.
Then proudly lick the mixing spoon,
While humming my own summer tune.

We read our stories every night,
Of dragons, fairies, stars so bright.
Then cuddle close before I sleep,
With happy dreams I'll always keep.

Soon nursery doors will open wide,
With friendly teachers by my side.
I'll bring my smile, my songs, my fun,
And tell of all that I have done.

So here's to holidays full of play,
Learning, laughing every day.
With muddy boots and hearts so light,
Summer memories sparkle bright!

 

School Ready...

Starting school nursery is an exciting milestone, and helping children develop independence before they begin can make the transition smoother and build their confidence. Every child develops at their own pace, but building routines that help children practise everyday self-care and social skills at home can help them feel more settled and ready to learn in a nursery environment. Why not try some of these suggested activities with your child over the Summer. How many can they achieve?

School Readiness Checklist ✓
