Found At The Beach

See what I found

At the beach

Today

While I

Was Watching

The waves

At play.

I found a feather

So soft

And white

And a shell

And a stone

That is round

And Bright

A stone

To make

Wishes on

Tonight.

What is a Whale?

A whale is not as small as us.

Most whales are bigger than a bus!

A whale is not like a fish in the sea.

A whale breathes air like you and me.

A whale can't walk upon the ground.

A whale must swim to get around.

A whale is a mammal just like me.

But its home is in the deep blue sea.

The   Whale

The whale is swimming out to sea,

Out to sea, out to sea,

The whale is swimming out to sea

Early in the morning.

The whale is diving far below,

Far below, far below,

The whale is diving far below,

Early in the morning.

The whale is coming up for air,

Up for air, up for air,

The whale is coming up for air,

Early in the morning.

Hermit's House

Hermit the crab

Had a cute little home,

He carried on his back

Wherever he did roam.

But one day he woke up

And his home was too small,

So he had to go shopping

In the underwater mall.

He found an empty shell

That comfortably would fit.

He moved right in

His new home was a hit!

 Five Little fishes

Five little fishes swimming in a pool.

The first one said,

The pool is cool.

The second one said,

The pool is deep.

The third one said,

I want to sleep.

The fourth one said,

Let's dive and dip.

The fifth one said.

I spy a ship.

The boat comes, and a line goes kerplash.

Away the five little fishies dash!

 Dave the Octopus

I met an octopus under the sea,

I looked at him, he looked at me.

He sat in a cave,

His name was Dave.

I tried to say "Hi,"

But he was rather shy.

He zoomed away in a blur of pink,

And I was left in a sea of black ink!

by Bryn Williams

We've traveled over the ocean,

We've traveled over the sea,

Now we'll travel to the rainforest,

To see what we can see.

Take me out to the ocean

Take me out to the sea

There goes a starfish and sand dollar,

I'm having such fun, I've just got to holler

Oh, it's swim, swim, swim, underwater

Catch a ride on a whale, don't fear

For the sea animals are our friends,

Let's give a great big cheer!  

My flukes move up and down

My flukes move up and down.

Heigh-ho-the-whale-oh!

My flukes move up and down.

My flippers help me steer

My flippers help me steer.

Heigh-ho-the-whale-oh!

My flippers help me steer.

My blubber keeps me warm

My blubber keeps me warm.

Heigh-ho-the-whale-oh!

My blubber keeps me warm.

My blowhole helps me breathe

My blowhole helps me breathe.

Heigh-ho-the-whale-oh!

My blowhole helps me breathe.

I'm a Fish

(tune: Little Teapot)

I'm a little fishy, I can swim

Here is my tail, here is my fin.

When I want to have fun with my friends, I wiggle my tail and dive right in!
