For our reading lesson today boys and girls we will be reading from the New South Wales Department of Education Infant Reader Part Two, The Wattle.
The bush was grey a week today – olive-green and brown and grey
But now the spring has come this way
With blossoms for the wattle.
It seems to be a fairy tree. It dances to a melody,
And sings a little song to me – the graceful swaying wattle.
See how it weaves its feathery sheaves,
Before the wind a mazes it weaves.
A misty whirl of powdery leaves.
The dainty curtseying wattle.
End of transcript.
