KEY STAGE 1

DUCKS

by Kenneth Grahame

All along the river edge,

Through the rushes tall,

Ducks are a-dabbling

Up tails all

Yellow bills all out of sight

They like to be –

Heads down,

Tails up dabbling free

KEY STAGE 2

THE WAY THROUGH THE WOODS

by Rudyard Kipling

They shut the way through the woods

Seventy years ago

Weather and rain have undone it again,

And now you would never know.

There was once a path through the woods

Before they planted the trees

It is underneath the coppice and heath

And the thin anemones.

Only the keeper sees

That, where the ring-dove broods,

And the Badgers roll at ease

There was once a road through the woods
