Key Stage 2

During Key Stage 2 children sing songs and play instruments with increasing confidence, skill, expression and awareness of their own contribution to a group or class performance. They improvise, and develop their own musical compositions, in response to a variety of different stimuli, with increasing personal involvement, independence and creativity. They explore their thoughts and feelings through responding physically, intellectually and emotionally to a variety of different kinds of music from different times and cultures.

"The Charanga resources are fantastically engaging for kids and the interactive activities often give me the rare opportunity in a music lesson to stand back, observe and assess their progress"
