My arrangement of lead line and chords for ' Can Can ' in key of C

Simple tune for keyboard pupils in A to introduce a new key.

This is a nonsense song about animals having identity problems. The sheep thinks that she’s a car and the cow thinks that she’s a dog. There are parts for the untuned instruments to play along with the melody. I got the idea from the tune Beep beep Ima sheep . I asked LiDeuce Deuce, the composer if I could use the words of the title in my song . Normally I would sell my original songs but I promised LiDeuce Deuce (Tod Bryanton ) that I wouldn’t , hence this freebie. Key stage 1 Pupils should be taught to: • use their voices expressively and creatively by singing songs and speaking chants and rhymes • play tuned and untuned instruments musically • listen with concentration and understanding to a range of high-quality live and recorded music •experiment with, create, select and combine sounds using the inter-related dimensions of music.

Ages 6-8 Sun flower seed sowing is a prerequisite with this resource 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 observing the sunflowers over the year with a viewfinder and looking at the shades of colour in a seed under the magnifying glass. 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 PPT noting similarities and differences between the Global pandemics in the 14th, 17th and 21st centuries There is also a spoken commentary and drum music in the background. The drum music could lead pupils to make their own as a background to their own PPTs

Suitable for ages 5 to 8. Sound embedded in PowerPoint The PowerPoint has various dinosaur "sounds" that the children are asked to listen to. Then they interpret the sounds with instruments which are suggested (More confident children will suggest their own.) Finally the sounds are layered (Texture is added) by the author and then the children are encouraged to put their own sounds together. For differentiation, If you have a competent musician in the class, he or she could play the keyboard above the percussion sounds.

A creative way of introducing the trigraph “air” Children love this song and get quite self-righteous because someone has taken their chair! There is a very simple part for the claves (or any untuned instruments) and for differentiation a simple part for chime bars with the notes written underneath the music. Musically you can extend this as far as you feel comfortable or just sing and clap in the instrumental Resources include PPT (should you wish to edit) Music sheet Video 2 mp3s vocals and backing

Suitable Ages 6 to 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 shape and symmetry (differentiated). It is based around the shapes seen in a sunflower or in sunflower designs. It covers recognition of shape and finding lines of symmetry. Work can be trimmed easily by the child and placed into an A4 book The sunflower Project starts with the sowing of the sunflower seed and follows the observation through until Harvest.

The song used the words, shark, shore, and shell. It is to reinforce the digraph you have taught in the day or to introduce it. Musically, the song has short musical interludes. The child is encouraged to move the arms downwards as the music and illustrations move downwards too. (Beginnings of pitch) The worksheet uses the illustrations from the song to colour and add the words shark, shell, or just the digraph. In the resource, you will find 1 A PPT in case you wish to add your own ideas 2 A video of the song 3 A worksheet (Publisher and a photo of this in case you don’t have publisher) 4 An mp3 of the song 5 The lyrics

A silly song to introduce the digraph “ch”. Charlie only eats food that begins with “ch”. The words chips, chops and cheese are used. Then when children have learned the song, they can substitute those words for other “ch” words. E.g Chicken, chives, chard, cherries, chili, chocolate, chick peas. “Charlie the dinosaur had a chicken for lunch.” They could go really silly and find non-food words for Charlie to eat .E.g “Charlie the dinosaur had a child for lunch” etc. Resource includes 1. A PPT of the song should you wish to add to it. 2. A video of the song 3. An mp3 of the song 4. A worksheet to colour Charlie and" feed him" with ch digraphs. (Publisher) 5. The lyrics
