Resources
We have created the following downloadable resources so that parents and teachers can further enhance their children's learning. We hope you find them useful.
Teaching Notes
Our teaching notes are intended to support adults to further enhance children’s engagement, learning, and development through each song. They detail the learning opportunities of the song, planning ideas for further learning, as well as a copy of the lyrics.
They have three functions:
• To connect children’s understanding and participation in musical experiences in the context of their everyday experiences, wonderings, and curiosity.
• To increase adults’ confidence in delivering high-quality music and movement programmes for children by providing implementation support and offering an understanding of the theory behind our songs.
• To extend children’s learning in, with and through musical experiences to support children to develop a lifelong interest in music.
