7. Action song: ‘Going to the Beach’ by Lucy Milan Davis
There’s lots to do in the summertime,
But going to the beach is a favourite of mine.
You can build sandcastles in the sand,
And you can visit the ice cream van.
You can fly your kite,
You can swim in the sea,
But the best part of all is eating fish and chips for tea. YUM!
