5. Action song or poem: ‘I Am a Circle’ by Lucy Milan Davis
I am a circle, I am a circle,
I am round and round,
I have one side, I have one side, And I am round and round.
A circle can be big,
A circle can be small,
A circle can be medium sized, But this one’s going to fall! One, two, three, “Ahh”!
