We recently caught up with Renuka Sivakumaran, Curriculum Lead at SCITTELS, to talk about the consortium’s ethos, how they work with music, and the challenges facing new teachers.

It’s the start of a new term and the classroom is prepped for the year ahead. The display boards are backed; the visual timetable is in place; the pencils are sharp; the exercise books are labelled, and the planning folder is already full to bursting!

Whether your class is addicted to acing the species tongue twister, or you’re prepping for a project on Antarctica, or even just wanting something to smile about –  our brand-new Penguins! song is WELL worth a share.

Did you know that Sparkyard has a wealth of learning resources for every day and any time of the year, in and out of the classroom? Whatever the occasion, there’s a song to be sung, a resource to discover and an idea to try!

Every song on Sparkyard has its own song page designed to support not only your class’s musical education, but also other curriculum learning, wellbeing and more.

The spring term is full of Easter preparations, spring optimism, new topics to explore and chilly weather — and Sparkyard has songs for all of these! With over 1000 songs to discover, it can be exciting (if a little overwhelming!) deciding where to start.
