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. Poetry. Cross curricular, Creative worksheets. Section seven.

(0)
Suitable 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 poetry. Rhyming words, opposites and comprehension are used in humorous poetry to encourage the child to write their own creations. 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.

A cross curricular creative approach to discovering the life cycle of a sunflower

11 Resources
Suitable Ages 6 to 8 All the resources have been written to engage the child on an imaginative, creative and scientific approach to learning. The finished work can be trimmed along the guidelines and be pasted in an A4 booklet with the minimum of fuss. The Power Points are in A4 size and can be printed out for the worksheets. To get the best from the resources, it is hoped that it would all start with the planting of a sunflower. This is echoed in the little musical which follows a class as it sows the seed. (Words etc. are already on a PowerPoint and no specialist knowledge is necessary) The observation section is for each season. RE and data is for Autumn. Literacy for Spring. The rest of the sheets can be done in any order.

The literacy is mainly for the spring to coincide with the seed sowing. The shape and symmetry are colourful . The data is best done in the Autumn term but some sheets can be done at any time Differentiation is there whenever possible.

The idea is - you tell the children you have been given a recording by your friend. He was sitting on the cliff one night, when he heard a strange sound. He recorded it on his phone but can’t understand what the voice is saying. You give out large pieces of paper to groups of 4. Ask them to listen and try and decipher the recording. They will surprise you with their ingenuity! Then next lesson, you play a version of the recording that you have cleaned up on the computer. Is it clearer? What course of action can you take now? Enclosed are the lesson plans for Art, ICT, drama, music and song writing plus the 2 soundscapes. (The sea, an ethereal sound and a disguised voice) This would make a very interesting children’s Assembly piece.

Using the mp3s , you can substitute the name of animal you wish to sing about. The example here is the dragon.

This little song was inspired by Oliver Jeffers book “How to catch a star” .It is about a little boy who is desperate to catch a star. You’ll have to read the book to find out what happens! It can be used as a starting point for an Assembly with scope for movement and triangle players. The song has a triangle part that the children are encouraged to listen out for and then play. I’ve also written a song based on the book “Lost and found “which is also by Oliver Jeffries. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/a-song-about-friendship-with-percussion-parts-non-specialist-11059683 The resource has 1.

A simple technique for making up a song using the names of the fruit in the book 'Handa's surprise' It looks attractive too. You could scan them into a powerpoint so all the children can sing or play each others work. This will work with fruit or animals in the topic whether or not you are doing 'Handa&'s surprise'
