RESPECT
Yes I know Respect is the thing to do
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
I always treat my friends like I hope they treat me.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Treating everybody respectfully.
Well I went outside feeling angry at my friend
Because he beat me in a game at the very end.
I wanted to hit him because I was mad
But I decided not to hit him as it would make everyone sad.

Well I was in the swimming pool and what did I see
someone standing on the edge of the pool
I wanted to push them in to a make a big splash and make them look like a fool
But I respected their choice and did not push them in.
Leo Hannah Ethan Lyric Elijah and Lithil
Well I was playing basketball and what did I see
Someone was wanting to join in with me
I wanted him to go away
But I decided to just let him play
Finn Charli Jaya Marty Libby and Nate
Well I looked in my friend’s lunchbox and what did I see
Three delicious donuts that looked so yummy
I wanted to eat them ‘cause I was so hungry but all I had was a very yucky curry
But I left them alone and ate my last night’s tea.
I did it the respectful way.
Chloe Charli Delilah John Jasper and Ellie
Well I wanted to go on the big swings
But what did I see
There was some big bully hogging it like a king
I wanted to push him off the swings and tell him to go home and tell him to never come again.
But I thought that it would be unfair so I went to the baby swing instead.
Jacob Zac Mellings Charlotte Piper Parker Darnell and River
Well I was in the bathroom and what did I see
I saw a tap that was on. Did the janitor even see.
I wanted to leave it on
But I know that was wrong
So I decided to turn the tap off.
Zac Griffiths Geordie Lachlan Shaine Skye Patience
Well I was let out at Recess and what did I see
A racquet shining and looking at me.
I wanted to run and get it first
But I didn’t run because I know that we’re not allowed to .
