Children love it when the evenings are dark and Halloween is upon us. It’s a great opportunity for creative themed pictures, stories and poems in the classroom.
Here’s one of mine, from Wanted Alive (to buy a copy of this book please look at the books page on this site).
A Witch Must Have a Cat
A witch must have a cat
So I cast a spell
But I got a rat
I mixed a potion
Out flew a bat
I wasn’t very happy about that
A witch must have a cat
I went to the pet shop
They locked me out
They said, “You’re the sort of customer
We can do without.”
I wasn’t very happy about that
A witch must have a cat
So I’m knocking on doors
Ratatat-tat
I’m looking for a suitable cat
If you’re the owner
I’ll pay well
But there’ll be trouble
If you won’t sell
I won’t be very happy about that
A witch must have a cat
Yes I’m knocking on doors
Ratatat-tat
I’ll be knocking on yours
Ratatat-tat
Ratatat-tat
Ratatat-tat
A witch must have a cat
