Welcome to Spider Week of Journey to the Ugly Bug Ball!
This week we will be singing about lots of bugs in The Ugly Bug Ball by The Sherman Brothers. We will be singing, learning about spiders, and making spooky spider cupcakes!
Here is a lovely poem for you:
The Spider and the Fly by Mary Howitt.
“Will you walk into my parlour?” said the Spider to the Fly,
“‘Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I have many curious things to shew when you are there.”
“Oh no, no,” said the little Fly, “to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up your winding stair can ne’er come down again.”
