*** A New Release *** Moving On
‘Moving On’ is a lively musical aimed at KS2. Particularly suitable for the end of the academic year it follows a group of friends (and their teachers) as they look ahead to their move to High (Senior) School. To keep them on track, the staff set them a challenge, to encourage teamwork and responsibility. However, things don’t go exactly to plan!
With plenty of speaking parts and nine attractive songs written in a variety of styles, this is sure to be an end of term smash hit with the children and their parents!
The Wild Bunch
The Wild Bunch is a lively musical with an environmental theme, ideal for Key Stage 2 boys and girls, but also suitable for younger children.
Featuring really wild weeds, such as the hip 'n' cool toadflax, the rather creepy bindweed and the highland-dancing thistle, it encourages children to consider green issues in an imaginative way.
The songs are imaginative, fresh and appealing, with plenty of opportunity for dance. Detailed production notes and photocopiable song texts are included.
The free CD includes both backing tracks and vocal versions of the songs, and photocopiable song texts.
