This year, Class 4 pupils have learned a lot of great songs, but it seems that the one about bikes is everyone's favourite. It points out how playing outside with a friend is more important than having an expensive bike which is always in the garage, and is fantastic for introducing or revising comparatives and possessive forms:
Tom:
My bike is bigger
And faster than yours,
And more beautiful too.
My bike is lighter
And newer than yours,
And it's more expensive too.
Sue:
It's true that
Your bike is bigger
And faster than mine,
And it's more beautiful too.
Your bike is lighter
And newer than mine,
And it's more expensive too.
But I ride my bike every day,
In the sun and in the rain.
Your bike just stays inside,
It never comes out to play.
Tom:
So, you ride your bike every day,
In the sun and in the rain.
I want to take my bike outside too,
Can I come out and play with you?
Can I come out and play with you?
