Back to readings

Read together

Come join us on an expedition,

We'll travel far and wide,

Our challenge is to cross the equator,

And make history with pride.

We'll sail across the Atlantic Ocean,

With headlines to be made,

Our engine roars and propels us forward,

As we navigate each wave.

Our ship is sleek in its design,

A beauty to behold,

With instruments to guide us through,

And keep us safe and bold.

Our destination lies in Australia,

A land so far away,

But we'll reach it with determination,

And make it there one day.

So come along and join the fun,

And be part of this grand quest,

We'll make memories and create stories,

That will always be the best.

Talk about it
