Run away there's a ghost behind me...hide in here...and it might not find me!
This is a mildly spooky song for KS1 and early KS2 all about tip-toeing around a creepy castle at night.

“Having taught music in Primary schools for over 11 years, I find the key to good engagement and enjoyment of singing is the material itself. These songs are specifically written for children to sing and are ideal for performance. They are tried and tested in primary schools around the UK and quite frankly, go down a storm!” - Al Start (Go Kid Music)
This is a cool upbeat song for KS1 introducing the concept of the Earth being a globe, spinning in space and how its divided into continents.

Ideal for your KS1/2 Guy Fawkes "Gunpowder, Treason & Plot" Topic this original song tells the story of the plot, who was involved (key players) and how it went down. It is sung in the folk style/tradition.
It has a catchy, repetitive chorus, but is better suited to Y2 singers up as the verses are longer and quite detailed. For listening alongside the topic it is suitable for all ages.
The song teaching video features songwriter Al Starting singing and signing the makaton for the song with lyric subtitles. You can play this on your smart board (IWB) screen or any device. Audio track (mp3) and Lyrics/chord sheet is also included.
Guitarists - This song is easy to play on acoustic guitar!
This digital song pack is the ideal musical accompaniment to your cross-curricular Transport topic. We are literally saving you from ever having to sing The Wheels on the Bus ever again! This original song is contemporary, upbeat and super-easy to learn. It's ideal for EY/Reception all through KS1.
The signs/actions are great fun and the silly lyrics include signs for family members as well as different modes of transport.
The song pack includes a teaching video for Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) screen or any device which shows songwriter Al Start singing & signing the song and a simple shaker part if you want to include a little percussion into the mix. Lyric and chord sheets plus the audio track itself mean you can take it off-screen when the children have learned the song, and play or sing along in assembly or a show.
This is another of our most requested songs, see the Teaching Notes for additional lesson plan suggestions and ideas for taking things further. Simply play the video to the children and they will copy their parts. No musical experience needed to teach this as a music lesson or add it to your topic as part of your learning journey; let us take the stress out of music teaching!
