Dear Children,
                                                 Despite the hot sun,
                                             We can still have a lot of fun,
                                           Summer is …….ice-cream scoops,
                                             Whenever our spirit droops,
                                               Watermelons and jellies,
                                               To joyfully fill our bellies,
                                          In my head, I can hear a humming,
                                         Soon, summer vacation is coming…….
