This week we reviewed Traffic Jam and Caterpillar Bye-bye on the recorder and we sang three new songs: I Sent A Valentine, Look Who's Coming and Boom Boom.
 
I Sent A Valentine
Picture
I sent a valentine to my love and
On the way I dropped it
A little doggie picked it up and
Put it in his pocket
And I won’t bite you
And I won’t bite you
And I won’t bite you
And I will bite you!

Look Who's Coming
Picture
Look who’s coming
Down the walk
Mr. mailman won’t you stop
With a knock! Knock! Knock!
Anyone at home?
A Valentine for you has come!
