You know you love your children
And want them to have fun and play,
But in your thoughts you’re wondering
What they have learnt today?
They said they found a butterfly
And it flew up to the sky,
But they gained a curiosity
And got them asking why?
They said they drew a picture
You saw some scribbles on a page,
But they were developing their muscles
For that later writing stage.
They said they climbed a tricky tree
Though they then got a high five,
But they really learnt to keep going
And continue giving it a try.
They said they played dressing up
And became a dragon big and red,
But they were building imagination
And creativity in their head.
They said they played hide and seek
And it was so much fun to play,
But it taught them many social skills
And they made a friend today.
They said they read a story
And it had a funny rhyme,
But they gained a special love for books
To last ‘til the end of time.
So when you’re worried they’re just playing
And they might fall way behind,
Know they’re busy learning oh so much
In their body, soul and mind.
