Song of the Week

w/b 16 March

You may have to wait

Learning patience: you can’t always have what you want.

PSHE Lesson Outcomes

Safe relationships: personal boundaries; safely responding to others; the impact of hurtful behaviour.

In a world of instant results and quick rewards, learning patience enables children to manage their emotions and reduce frustration. It improves relationships and boosts academic performance by teaching them self-control and persistence.

Our song of the week helps children cope when their needs (or wants) are not met instantly.

If the answer is no, don’t get in a strop
Or stamp your feet in anger and don’t blow your top
Learn to be patient, learn what it means
What you think you want, isn’t always what you need

I can’t recommend this organisation more highly. PopUK has free access to songs with backing tracks for class and whole-school singing.

Free for UK primary schools

Our large catalogue of popular songs for every occasion is available through the government’s CCLI copyright scheme.

Easy-to-use for all abilities

Check out the song tasters and then use the resource videos and PDFs – singalongs, backing tracks, lyrics and sheet music.

PopUK’s song bank is an amazing tool for the classroom…the online resources and lyrics are so easy to use and the children love the videos that link with them.
