My Country
Teaching Topic: Feelings of belonging
The vocabulary of this song has been chosen for the slightly older child with the purpose of encouraging in them a sense of identity and belonging to the country in which they live. Although few small children might understand the concept of nationality, the song has a very stirring melody that they will enjoy. My Country can be used to introduce things which are country-specific, such as the national flag.
Lyrics:
My country is my haven
And on my heart it’s graven
My family’s native land
With history that is grand
Oh! sweetest, sweetest haven
Our duty is to help you
Hold our values good and true
With knowledge and endeavour
We’ll keep you free forever
Oh! sweetest, sweetest haven
My National Flag I love
As it floats with pride above
Our country we should respect
And its freedom must protect
Oh! sweetest, sweetest haven
