The Pencil Pledge is a short chant we do to get fired up before getting on with independent work.<\/p>\n

These are the words:<\/p>\n

Teacher<\/span><\/strong>: Pencils ready!
\nClass<\/strong>: [Bang table with pencil 2 times and then shoot your arm in the air]
\nTeacher<\/span><\/strong>: This is my pencil!
\nClass<\/strong>: This is my pencil!
\nTeacher<\/span><\/strong>: There are many like it!
\nClass<\/strong>: There are many like it!
\nTeacher<\/span><\/strong>: But this is MYYYY pencil!
\nClass<\/strong>: But this is MYYYY pencil!
\nTeacher<\/span><\/strong>: And I use it to do…
\nClass<\/strong>: Maths!
\nTeacher<\/span><\/strong>: So today is our day!
\nClass<\/strong>: So today is our day!
\nTeacher<\/span><\/strong>: To. Do. More. And. Be. More.
\nClass<\/strong>: To. Do. More. And. Be. More.
\nTeacher<\/span>: 1!<\/strong>
\nClass<\/strong>: 2!
\nTeacher<\/span>: 3!<\/strong>
\nClass<\/strong>: Go!
\nTeacher<\/span><\/strong>: Go!
\nClass<\/strong>: Go!<\/p>\n
