1. We’re All Going to the Zoo
May Rhymes & Songs
May’s theme is all about the zoo. We’ll be making plenty of animal themed crafts as well as noises![
Our rhymes this month are –
Baby room
We’re All Going to the Zoo
Chorus
We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too
See the elephant with the long trunk swingin'
Great big ears and a long trunk swingin'
Snuffin' up peanuts with a long trunk swingin'
And we can stay all day
See all the monkeys they're scritch-scritch scratchin'
Jumpin' around and scritch-scritch scratchin'
Hangin' by the long-tail (huff huff huff)

2. The 2-3 room and the 3+ room are doing the following rhymes –
There's a big black bear he's a huff-puff-a-puffin'
His coat's too heavy he's a huff-puff-a-puffin'
Don't get too near the huff-puff-a-puffin'
Or you won't stay all day
Chorus
It’s quite a long rhyme so we’re not expecting to finish it each time we sing it but we’ll have a go.
The 2-3 room and the 3+ room are doing the following rhymes –
5 Little Monkeys
Five little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
His Mummy called the doctor
And the doctor said:
“No more monkeys jumping on the bed”
Four little monkeys jumping on the bed
Three little monkeys jumping on the bed
And the doctor said,

3. An Elephant Goes Like This & That
Two little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
His Mummy called the doctor
And the doctor said:
“No more monkeys jumping on the bed”
One little monkey jumping on the bed
“Put those monkeys right to bed”
An Elephant Goes Like This & That
An elephant goes like this & that.
(Move on all fours, slowly like an elephant)
He's terribly big.
(Stand up, reach arms high)
And he's terribly fat.
(Stretch arms out to the sides)
He has no fingers,
(Make fists, hiding fingers.)
He has no toes,
(Wiggle toes)
But goodness gracious,
What a nose!
(make a nose with your arm)
