English Reading for Kids: the Sun (+ video )

Kids poems about the sun.

Hello,dear readers!

Today I want us to read some poems about

 the Sun.

Summer, Songs and the Sun - all these words begin with S and mean the same: happiness!

These easy and funny poems can be used by primary school teachers for summer parties (more  resources you can find here and here), or just for teaching little kids in your family circle.

Here they are:

  The Sun

Don't you think the sun is bright?

I wonder where it goes at night?

Does it sleep or does it hide?

Or is the moon its other side?

Does it hide behind the hills?

Late at night as outside chills?

Do you think it needs to rest?

From all that warming it does best?

Could it even have a home?

Maybe in London or even in Rome?

Or does it just float around?

Moving slowly from town to town?

Yes, I think it must do that!

After all the earth's not flat.

So the sun goes round and round

Spreading sunshine on the ground!

GOOD MORNING MR SUN

 Good morning, Mr Sun!

Our day has just begun,

We love to see your shining face.

Good morning, Mr Sun!

Summer Sun

Summer sun in the sky

Shining, shining up so high

Makes it warm for outside fun

To play at the park and run

To swim, hike, and fish

And go on a picnic, if you wish!
