Literacy
Here is another verse for Macavity, this time written by Sofia. I’m sure that you will enjoy it!
Macavity Macavity naughty old Macavity.
He’s broke the lockdown rules , he doesn’t know the gravity.
He thinks he’s far too cool to play by the rules.
Not social distancing , he’s acting like a fool.
Macavity broke into the chapel, to try and steal the gold
But he never thought Father Campbell would be quite so bold
The priest grabbed him by the neck and called 999
What a noise he made, you could really hear him whine!
Father Campbell bravely held him by the hair
And when the police arrived
Macavity WAS there!
Terrific work, Sofia. Well done!
