Gardens & Growing Level: Key Stage 1 - Songs & chants

Come and Meet my Earthworm!

Guess what - despite being a keen gardener, I have a bit of a phobia about harmless worms. This song is my apology to them!

We had a laugh because Thomas thought I said 'Come and eat my earthworm'!

• Come and meet my earthworm
• He's slimy, long and thin
• I'd like to take him home to tea
• But dad won't let him in
• Doo doo doo doo doo earthworm
• My dad won't let him in

• Come and meet my spider
• Her body's big and round
• Her legs are long and hairy
• And she doesn't make a sound
• Doo doo doo doo doo spider
• She doesn't make a sound
• __
• Meet my caterpillar
• He's furry, brown and soft
• And one day when he's older
• He'll turn into a moth
• Doo doo doo caterpillar
• He'll turn into a moth

What Can We Grow?

This song is about growing plants for eating, by both humans and bees. The tune is the same one as Frere Jacques.

• What can we grow in our garden
• For our lunch, for our lunch?
• Apples tees and pear trees
• Blueberries and plum trees
• Munch, munch, munch
• Munch, munch, munch
• __
• What can we grow in our garden
• For our tea, for our tea?
• Cabbage and potatoes
• Lettuce and tomatoes
• Beans and peas
• Beans and peas
• __
• What can we grow in our garden
• For the bees, for the bees?
• Lavender and bluebells
• Sunflowers and harebells
• Plant them please
• Plant them please
