Playground singing

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:-

And one in the Infant playground:-

The special bus stops tell the children where to go if they want to have a sing!
