Collins Easy Learning KS2 6 Books Collection Set Ages 7-9: Ideal for home learning by Collins Easy Learning
Oh no, for you,
Oh no, for me,
Oh no, oh my,
Disney’s gone lazy!
Dum-da-dum, da dum da dum da dum!
Now that time has come for proving
That Disney can do more
And we’ll give back the handmade love
That made box offices soar
We will write until our hands
Fall off into rubber bands
We’ll ban the CGI
And the ratings will shoot sky high
Thank 2D, not 3D,
For Disney’s constantly lazy
For money over magic
Has made Disney’s future tragic!
GOPHER: BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Save, Disney!
Save, Disney!
Save save save save DISNEY!
RABBIT: Here we go!
I had a bad night suffering from the cold
Snow is silver, sunshine is gold
But everything’s silver upon my skin
I’m shaking from the Arctic wind
I woke up with an aching head
As I tumbled out of bed
Mum felt bad and Mylo did too
But I still had a lot to do.
When Louise picked me up, she took me into town
To see if the bakery van’s around
But Mr Mickey Murphy was in Inverness
What did we do next? Can you guess?
We went to ASDA to get some food
But going to the park I was in a good mood
As we made our way down to the bench
Where I found a pink bottle cap completely drenched
Louise laid my black coat as I sat down
As I ate my sausage rolls, I looked around
The hair salon and the chicken shop stood nearby
But suddenly something caught my eye
I saw another bottle cap
Drenched in water from the storm’s leaky tap
Two crisp packets and a pack of gummy snakes
But best of all - RAGWEED! What can I make?
I know! A story! A lonely ragweed
Who remembers his friends in a time of need
When friends are lost, they’re always found
All I did was look around
A circular pavilion stood grand nearby
As well as a wreath where Atlanta’s mother died
Speaking of Atlanta, I miss Stingray
But my imagination saved the day
I saw Atlanta and Socks before me
Finding litter for crafting and drawing
Crisp packets to Socks make good Winter gloves
The pink bottle caps make good earbuds
The circular pavillion I mentioned before
Is where Donkey belts out English ee-aaws
To Brum, Sooty, Sweep and Soo
I miss them quite a lot, don’t you?
Louise had a ginger flavoured chocolate bar
And a movie rated 15 that would leave a scar
But no scar gets bigger more
Then when my time on the internet soars
When Louise stopped for coffee, I wondered aloud
If my stories really stood out from the crowd
But I didn’t know my writing would be better
As the day got wetter and wetter
When we got back we made some soup
No tech tonight to spiral me in a loop
I helped chop the peppers one by one
I imitated DaneBoe’s Squash which was such fun
When I chopped the onions my eyes began to sting
Like they’ve been sprayed with weed repellent or something
While Louise thought my dog should be on Britain’s Got Talent
Under my tongue, a teaspoon I tried to balance
My eyes burning like London on fire,
I thought washing up was a good desire
But too much washing makes your back ache
But then I made a big mistake
I used a steam mop as a tea towel
But then, Mylo gave a howl!
With a mighty roar, he grabbed the mop
And Mum and Louise shouted for him to drop
I collapsed on the sofa with steaming raw eyes
My back ached bad, not a big surprise
I went to draw Ronald and his friends
And I tumbled into bed to take a nap in the end
Earlier today, I learnt about Mari Helen Scott
She left a lasting impression on us lot
They put her name on a bench in the park
So her spirit can live on in the lonely dark
When I woke up I did the story straight away
It seems I’ve had a busy day
But busy is as busy gets,
Ronald is my best story yet!
THE END
Here in the forest is the Woodland Clock
Steadily going Click Click Knock
It’s a day in the life of our animal friends
All the way from start to end
From 6 to 7 the animals prepare
For the day’s glorious affairs
They brush their teeth and munch their toast
Before kissing goodbye the ones they love most
At 8 the children slowly get dressed
My, won’t their teacher be impressed
When they show up in their uniform
With smiley faces all slick and shawn
At 9 the kids set off for school
Here’s Billy Squirrel on his skateboard - cool!
Teela and Tanya laugh all the way
It’s another merry school day
At 10 the adults go to work
Be in your places, don’t be a jerk
The nut making business has just begun
As all the men put tough shell hats on
At 11, it’s break time at the school
Play with others, abide by the rules
A rumbling sound? Nah, just a piece
In Billy’s tummy, mustard and roast beef
At 12 - oh no! The alarm has sounded
The school’s destroyed, the children rounded
The diggers have come to destroy the wood
Like any soulless mechanism should
At 1, the trees are all cut down
Broken acorns lie all around
Workers manage to struggle free
But some were too late - dear me
At 2, the birds flee their nests
For the workers use repellent for pests
The acorn factory lies blackened and burnt
Amidst the once dew-covered green fern
At 3, the forest fires begin
The families cry out, trapped from within
A rainstorm calms the inferno down
And that’s the end of their woodland town
At 4, the animals have nowhere to go
The children cry to mourn the ones they know
But somewhere, there’s a twist of fate
Read on to see what the animals await
At 5, I see all the animals scared
The destruction left them unprepared
A kindly reserve warden I am,
I call myself Reserve Warden Sam
At 6, I call out “Off we go!”
The animals took off all their clothes
Primitive again, they hop into my van
Driven by me, Warden Sam
At 7, we reach my nature reserve
It’s a place my animal friends deserve
As they run off, I cry out “Be free!
Not only of destruction, but responsibility!”
At 8, I got to my little log house
And slump on my armchair, quiet as a mouse
Through the window, I see the animals at play
They’ve found light in the darkest day
At 9 as I prepared for bed,
I turned to you and then I said:
“We must take action, the animals need you
To make their natural world better too.”
THE END.
Dear children everywhere,
I’m so glad you found my letter there
On your doorstep, wet in the rain
I thought it’d never come down again
I call all of you to answer my plea
To help us save British kids’ TV
The ‘50s started things quite simply
With Muffin The Mule and Andy Pandy
The ‘60s wasn’t that obscene
With shows like Clangers and Camberwick Green
It’s also an era of puppet sci fi
As Thunderbirds took to the sky
The ‘70s made us count on our fingers
How many times we’ve seen the Phantom Flan Flinger
Blue Peter and Magpie were popular back then
So was Morph and Tony Hart’s pens
Consumerism ruled in every ‘80s house
But at least we still had Danger Mouse
And Postman Pat and Pigeon Street
While Transformers and He Man stirred up heat
The ‘90s were full of colour and fun
With Noddy, Fireman Sam, Pingu and Brum
We boogied with the Teletubbies as they got up to dance
And we even gave Farthing Wood a chance!
In 2002 CBeebies and CBBC
Launched to all our excited glee
But little did we know it’ll get weaker
While we were cheering on Tracy Beaker
All kinds of shows, so much to choose,
But Peppa Pig made our parents lose
Their children’s tantrums and screaming and fights
For a Peppa Pig playset or nightlight
Then CBBC aired some shows
As worse as Dick & Dom’s bungalow
Gimme A Break and Undercover Dad
And from there, it just got bad
You started switching to Youtube from TV
You just like nursery rhymes, you see
Singing the same songs like Baby Shark
To keep parents awake in the dark
In ‘13, Nick Jr had a goal
To make a show named Paw Patrol
It and Peppa aired non stop for days
And other preschool channels forced consumerism ways
They made each show entirely CGI
That’s fast and loud as a sugar high
Now, let’s go back to CBBC
From ‘19, things weren’t as they seemed
At the start, Almost Never was set
To test out iPlayer’s new boxsets
They had drama marathons all year long
Was it British still? Well, we were wrong!
And from the pandemic, things got worse
There wasn’t a penny in a businessman’s purse
The word I say will make you revolt and retort,
For today’s fun word is: IMPORT.
American cartoons took over CBBC
Marking the end of CITV
And it got worse for CBeebies,
It focused on Bluey and parenting duties
And the problem with kids’ TV these days
Is there’s no quiet songs or stories or games
Everything is loud and way too fast
But with your help, this won’t last
We must stand with our hands joined together
To prove handmade, quiet shows are better
It takes a lot to make wrongs right,
For new kids’ TV is an awful sight
So ditch the brainrot and the loud fast pace
By signing this form like tying a shoelace
And together, we can make kids’ TV
Gentle and slow like it used to be.
Thanks for reading,
