A new resource which aims to get youngsters thinking – and singing about global issues – has been launched in a joint venture by Sing Up and Oxfam.
The not-for-profit organisation that provides singing solutions for schools and Oxfam’s Youth & Schools team have joined forces to create the KS2 resource.
The free, downloadable pack, available from 11 September, includes teaching resources, activities and a song collection, which aims to offer a fun and expressive way for children to learn and think global poverty and food and farming across the world.
The resource has been designed to meet the recommendations of The National Plan for Music Education and the government’s call for every school to have a ‘singing strategy’. It supports the practice of singing as a classroom activity, enabling teachers to integrate music into the classroom in an inclusive way and ensuring every child sings and performs regularly.
