Song of the Week:
w/b 16 November
The Sun Comes Up
Learning to protect and respect the environment
PSHE Lesson Outcomes
Belonging to a community: Protecting the environment; compassion towards others.
As the UN Climate Change Conference (COP31) continues this coming week, The Sun Comes Up offers an opportunity to reflect on the fragility of the planet and the need to protect and respect it.
Imagine, try to imagine there’s nothing,
Darkness and night everlasting,
No earth and no planets or seas.
Imagine, try to imagine there’s nothing,
No creatures nor anything living
No sunlight, no mountains or trees,
Let’s take care of the earth, the way that we should
Give thanks for this world and all that is good.
Preparing for Christmas
Love Makes Room
A song about drawing a parallel between Mary and Joseph’s story and that of the many displaced people and refugees across the world today.
PSHE Lesson Outcomes
Mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
Mary and Joseph make their difficult journey from Nazareth as they try to get to Bethlehem before their baby is born.
For more songs, assembly videos and simple nativity readings, see our Christmas library.
Far away from home, will they reach their journey’s end
By the time she knew that her baby would be born?
Bethlehem was full so they found a stable there
On that Christmas night, oh so many years ago.
Journey on, Journey far, Looking for the star.
Journey on, Journey far, Till you find the star.
I can’t recommend this organisation more highly. PopUK has free access to songs with backing tracks for class and whole-school singing.
