Buddy Class

At school we go to Buddy Class
And work with little kids,
Today I played with Mandy Jones
Amongst the crates and lids.

First of all I made a wand,
And Mandy made one too,
Mine had heaps of sparkly stars
And hers had heaps of glue.

I made a prancing unicorn,
And Mandy made one too,
Mine had silver-glitter wings
And hers had navy blue.

We dressed our magic unicorns
In little tinkly bells,
Then waved our fairy wands about
And practiced doing spells.

Then we made a secret cave,
A place for only two,
Where pixies sprinkle rainbow dust
And wishes all come true.

Today I made a stack of things
With paint and stars and glue,
But best of all I made a friend,
And Mandy made one too.
