Rhyme: “Two Little Blackbirds”
Two little blackbirds sitting on a hill,
One named Jack and the other named Jill.
Fly away, Jack; fly away, Jill.
Come back, Jack; come back, Jill.

Two little blackbirds sitting on a stick,
One named slow and one named quick.
Fly away, Slow; fly away, Quick.
Come back, Slow; come back, Quick.

Two little blackbirds sitting on a cloud,
One named Quiet and the other named Loud.
Fly away, Quiet; fly away, Loud.
Come back, Quiet; come back, Loud.

Opening Song

Book: The Bus Is for Us! by Michael Rosen, illustrated by Gillian Tyler

Song: “The Wheels on the Bus”
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
Round and round, round and round,
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
All through the town.

Additional verses:
The doors on the bus go open and shut…
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish…
The kids on the bus go up and down…
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep…
