Today I have been searching through my old teaching files and found these poems written by children in Year 2. They will be in Year 6 now! The poems are based, quite obviously, on Spike Milligan’s On the Ning Nang Nong. I remember this being a wonderful, fun lesson and if I can find the planning that went with it then I will post that too. In the meantime please enjoy the poems.
On the Zig Zag Zog by Daniel and Luke
On the zig zag zog
Where the owls go wog!
And the dolphins all say shoo!
There’s a zag zog zig
Where the rats go big!
And gorillas liver laver loo!
On the zog zig zag
All the mice go clag!
And you just can’t catch ‘em when they do.
So it’s zig zag zog
Owls go wog!
Zag zog zig
Rats go big!
Zog zig zag
Mice go clag!
What a noisy place to have a sob!
Is the zig zag zig zag zog!
On the Bip Bap Bop by Darby and Francesca
On the bip bap bop
Where the chicks go clop!
And the piglets all go wooo!
There’s a bip bap bop
Where the rabbits go plop!
And the dogs go rapper rapper roop!
On the bip bap bop
All the horses say hop
And you just can’t catch ‘em when they do!
So, it’s bip bap bop
The chicks go clop!
Bip bap bop
Rabbits go plop!
Bip bap bop
Horses say hop!
What a noisy place to have a chop
