What a Wonderful World

Year 5 have been working on rewriting the lyrics to "Wonderful World", as part of our work on Here We Are by Oliver Jeffers. I thought that they did a really fantastic job! Here's what we came up with:

I see octopus swim
Under the sea
Tentacles waving
At you and me
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I hear birds that chirp
Eagles too
Flying around
Me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I hear ribbiting frogs
Swimming through murk
Down to where
The animals lurk
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I can see green grass
Bumblebees
Bluebells blooming
The leaves on the trees
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see komodo dragons
Roaming around
Scaly feet
On rocky ground
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see leaves of green
Brown monkeys too
Stripey yellow giraffes 
With shiny black hooves
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I hear badgers of night
Hidden from sight
Owls above
In the silver moonlight
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see delicate clouds
Skies of blue
The bright burning sun
Birds chirp and coo
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see apples of red
Grass green too
LIttle fox
Hunting for food
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see pandas roll
In the bamboo
Looking at the sky
The deepest blue
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see octopus colours
Shining in the deep
Water rolling
Mountains steep
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
