Little boy, with your eyes so blue,
You see the world so shiny and new.
He hugs his mummy, leaves his daddy's knee.
Time to explore; so much to see.

Little boy, with your eyes so blue,
So much courage, your fears are few.
Will you climb a mountain or brave the sea?
What's your wonder? Which will it be?

Little boy, with your eyes so blue,
Did your travels bring knowledge to you?
Are you weary, do you want to go home?
Are you destined to forever roam?

Little boy, with your eyes so blue,
Imagination so big, your yard is too.
Where are you going? Where will you be?
Hugging mummy from daddy's knee.

Our Year 2 became children became Explorers for the morning and they have had such fun!! As part of their Geography topic, Explorers, the children are learning about Continents around the world as well as Oceans, reading maps, they climbed mountains, travelled in a hot air balloon, they transformed into penguin's and a lion .... phew what a busy morning they had!   The children really enjoyed their workshop and will continue to "explore" throughout the day!
