Water  Balmedie Primary School   

We live by the sea

Our beautiful beach

With gigantic sand dunes 

And sparkling waves

Beneath a sizzling sun

The salty sea, as blue as the sky,

Bathes shoals of fish

As waters grab hold of the sands

Sea, as clear as glass,

Helps seaweed swim around rocks,

And glitters in the sunshine

Crashing on warming shores

Dark, greying skies pour torrential rain

As we shout and sing into the wind

While wandering waves lap

At tired feet.

Balmedie Slumbers

Tides ebb and flow, peacefully

As seals pop heads above water

To bid us good night.

Water Bramble Brae Primary School  

Imagine your bath was different

It's full of tadpoles and frogs

And the gurgling, swirling water stream

Is being lapped at by thirsty dogs

The Amazon Basin is your front room

You have Rainforest on the stair

And you use the foamy whirlpool 

To wash your dirty hair.

The washing machine is a waterfall

The dishwasher, a Tsunami

And each time she opens up the door

Water swooshes over Mammy

But water keeps us healthy

Showers keep us clean and cool

We put it in our fish tanks

Or in our swimming pool

Just remember when you're thirsty

Those who walk for miles each day

To reach their local water well

To try and drink fresh water each day
