I am a music specialist and the music I write is original, tested on children and for the less confident teacher. My aim is to provide you with everything you need to fulfil Topic requirements and those of the National Curriculum (without having to prepare anything.) I provide Power Points/videos and give you mp3s and lyrics. Notation is sometimes given. The instrumental parts are dead easy!

The sunflowers. Researching sunflowers . Cross curricular. Section 6.

Suitable for ages 6-8 The presentation is in A4 size, so the worksheets can be printed directly from the PowerPoint. I have included a free song from the musical “The Sunflowers” which could be a starting point. There are 10 different areas in the Sunflower Project. The one here concentrates on finding where the children have been on holiday. They can mark on the key if they saw a sunflower. Prior to that, the first maps help children to recognize the continents and Europe. The sheets can be trimmed easily by the child so that they can be pasted into an A4 booklet. The sunflower Project starts with the sowing of the sunflower seed and follows the observation through until Harvest. Each resource covers a curriculum area. The assumption is that natural science knowledge is absorbed through these various activities.

"Welcome to Shrek's fairyland" Upbeat song about the characters in the Swamp

(0)
This song with a hip hop beat welcomes you to Shrek’s home in the swamp. Living there are many folk from famous fairy stories. There is an opportunity, if you have a set of chime bars (from C to C’) to play them in descending order. If not, simply move your hands from an upright position to your side or on the floor. The idea is to feel the descent of the pitch from high to low. My children enjoyed adding movement to the song. It makes a good “party piece” for an assembly on fairy stories. Included in the resource 1. PPT lyrics music. 2. Lyrics 3. Backing track mp3 4. vocal track mp3 5. Video of the song Covers singing, playing an instrument, pitch, responding to music,

This catchy song is a good starting point for Book week . It is suitable for non-specialists and those more confident. It has an easy to learn chorus so the children will soon pick it up. It tells the story of a child who reads at night under the duvet with a torch. The verses show the places and characters that are imagined. There is an extension in the form of a harmony for those more confident teachers. It is based on some of the words in the chorus. Basically, it is a run down from C to lower G Provided in the resource - 1. An animated video of the song 2. A PPT version (if you prefer that format) 3. Mp3s of the vocals and backing 4. Lyrics / guitar chords 5. The lead line in notation (Sibelius or Jpeg) 6. The harmony (extension) It’s a walking bass, and its shown in white on the harmony score.
