Train Songs

Help! I am having a little case of writer's block! I need suggestions of well-known train songs or songs with a train-ish rhythm. What I'm actually trying to do is write a song called 'The Feelings Train' where children join the train when they reach a verse that matches how they feel. If that makes any sense to anyone! I'm just stuck for the actual song to base it on. Ideas anyone? I'm going thinking about it and even dreaming about train songs, but when I wake up, they've gone.

Book Week

As part of our book week next week it has been decided that children may come to school dressed as a character from a children's book. Staff are also expected to dress up too. As I don't have an extensive wardrobe of 'dressing up clothes' (or any to be honest), and time is rather limited, I'd welcome some simple, but effective ideas. I did think of Percy the Park Keeper, as our topic is Growing this half term, I thought that might be quite simple, but I can't find anyone who has a workman's type overall! Bob the builder also crossed my mind - but our Reception class hard hats are a little on the small size. I have a nursery nurse in with me, who is equally la…
