How to get the best out of BrainySongs resources: Listen/watch the song video [link in download] a few times before completing the worksheet. Children absorb so much in this process, especially target vocabulary.
Discuss/ask questions about the video pausing it as necessary.
It is hoped that BrainySongs will stimulate a general curiosity in science, nature, and music at the same time.
These complimentary worksheets are part of a much larger resource available on our website.

A great set of resources to support planning and learning experience
Really like this resource as a starter for ten. Especially like the song - great to find something with a British accent. Look forward to sharing these with my class
Clear photos, much better for identification than cartoon pictures and accessible text. Pitched at the right level. I look foward to using these.Thank you very much for sharing your hard work
