Welcome, welcome everyone,
Now we're here, let's have some fun.

Welcome, welcome, everyone,

Pirate Song [Tune: This Old Man ]
This old pirate, has a hat. Where a skull and crossbones sat.
With an Ar, Ar, Ar, and an Ay Matey!
This old pirate sailed the sea.This old pirate had a patch. Sailed the sea without a scratch.
With an Ar, Ar, Ar and an Ay Matey!
This old pirate sailed the sea.Additonal Verses:
This old pirate has a hook, uses it to hold a book…
This old pirate has a map, keeps it handy in his lap…
This old pirate has a bird, barely knows a single word…
This old pirate has a ship, travels the world in a single trip…
This old pirate looking for treasure, more than anyone can measure!...
The Counting Pirate Song
When I was one, I banged my drum the day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a pirate ship, and the captain said to me.
We’re going, this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards over the Irish Sea.
A bottle of milk, to warm my tum, And that’s the life for me! Yo-ho!
When I was 2, I buckled my shoe the day I went to sea…
When I was 3, I banged my knee…
When I was 4, I knocked on a door…
When I was 5, I learned to dive…
A Sailor Went to Sea
A sailor went to sea, sea, sea. To see what she could see, see, see.
But all that she could see, see, see, was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea....Seahorse!
A sailor went to sea, sea, sea. To see what she could see, see, see.
But all that she could see, see, see, was A Seahorse swimming in the sea, sea, sea...a jellyfish!A sailor went to sea, sea, sea. To see what she could see, see, see.
But all that she could see, see, see, was jelly fish swimming and a seahorse swimming in the sea, sea, sea... a turtle!A sailor went to sea, sea, sea. To see what she could see, see, see.
But all that she could see, see, see, was a turtle swimming and a jelly fish swimming
and a seahorse swimming in the sea, sea, sea... an octopus!A sailor went to sea, sea, sea. To see what she could see, see, see.
But all that she could see, see, see, was a octopus swimming and a turtle swimming
and a jelly fish swimming and a seahorse swimming in the sea, sea, sea... a baby shark!A sailor went to sea, sea, sea. To see what she could see, see, see.
But all that she could see, see, see, was a baby shark swimming
and an octopus swimming and a turtle swimming and a jelly fish swimming
and a seahorse swimming in the sea, sea, sea... a blue whale!A sailor went to sea, sea, sea. To see what she could see, see, see.
But all that she could see, see, see, was a blue whale swimming and a baby shark swimming
and an octopus swimming and a turtle swimming and a jelly fish swimming

The More We Read Together [Tune: The More We Get Together]
The more we read together, together, together,
The more we read together, the better it is!
'Cause reading and singing and talking together,
Is how you learn the six skills for reading by six.
