A Recipe For New Beginnings At Our School

Mary Berry, Jamie Oliver,
You're all really cool,
Do you have a recipe
For a happy, healthy school?

Firstly take a pinch of each and every boy and girl,
Then let them buddy together,
Add the teachers and staff,
Whist them all together,
Whilst adding the RULES,

Take your building with classrooms,
Then pour in the mixture,
Next add in a wide range of lessons,
Blend in a handful of SMILES and LAUGHTER,
As well as a pint of JOY and RESPECT,
Allow time to bubble and simmer.

Sieve out the bullies for a friendly school,
Add 10oz of teamwork, not to mention some helpfulness,
1 dollop of FUN, ADVENTURES and FORGIVENESS
Sprinkle knowledge around school
Bring it out of the oven; let the happiness flow out,
Finally let it settle for seven years, and to top it all off,
You will have a brilliant school, right in front of your eyes
