This is an effective carol that gradually builds up in parts to a tear jerking ending! Pupils love singing it and it’s written to be simple to sing but sounds complicated with parts overlapping.

Four different listening worksheets for KS2-3 with a few questions on each sheet. Designed to familiarise pupils with musical element words. Mars from Holst’s the Planets Sibelius Finlandia Dire Straits, On Every Street Nessun Dorma

This scheme of work is over 4-6 lessons for KS2 and provides worksheets and lessons plans to explore Mars from The Planets. The style of teaching is to draw out the musical knowledge from pupils and over a few lessons explore time signatures, ostinatos, musical element words etc. This is a fun unit of work and my pupils have always loved it.
