I thought you would be interested in finding out about a new initiative in school that is being led by our 2 Music specialists - Edith Kao and Patricia Lin, and this is what they wanted me to post to you today:-
"We are
hoping to put singing at the heart of the Primary school community through a
child led culture of singing games, and encourage the students to celebrate and
share their games from home.
Our aims are to:
1. Enable
and encourage all children to play singing games together in the
playground.
2. Have the
Song Leaders lead the singing games independently.
3. Develop
children's personal and social skills, in particular being considerate,
helpful, kind, empathetic, and working as a part of a team.
4. Develop
children's vocal skills and musicianship."
Edith and Patricia teach the children the songs during normal music lessons, and the children then can lead the singing in the playground. We have a Singing Playground in both playgrounds, the Junior one:-
