Books I have
written:
Hop, skip and
away we go
Singing games
for 4-7 year olds
These books contain many
traditional and other dances plus help and advice on using them. The
compilations draw on my considerable experience of teaching Foundation Stage
and KS1 children. It also chimes with the current appreciation of the need for
an active and creative curriculum for this age group. ‘Hop, skip and away we
go’ aims to give teachers (including parents and carers) the means to provide
this.
It is particularly pertinent at
this time with the push for more healthy lifestyles in school and the wider
community. Children should be given regular opportunities to move vigorously,
develop motor and muscular skills, sharpen listening and social skills and
above all have tremendous fun. This all happens when they move and dance using
their natural response to music.

The French
collection
French singing
games for 4-11 year olds
These books contain many
traditional and other dances in the French language plus translations, with
help and advice on using them.
The clock is ticking towards
2010, when all primary schools are due to have foreign language teaching in
place across KS2. Many schools will have French as their primary language
focus. These songs support the learning of a new language through participating
in enjoyable activities. The games have been grouped to suit specific age
groups and level of language competence. They are also categorized by topic to
support the cross curricula approach suggested in the teaching of a second
language. An index of music resources provides a gateway to freely accessed
supporting materials via the internet.
These compilations draw on my
considerable experience of teaching children throughout the primary range. It
also chimes with the need for an active and creative curriculum for this age
group. ‘The French collection’ gives teachers the means to provide this but expertise
as a musician or language teacher is not needed to use these books.
