The Singing Year

A lovely book of season-led songs to take you right through the year, observing festivals and reflecting children’s activities and experiences from day to day. Lift up your voices in song! Ideal for celebration days, key dates and birthdays, this book includes a melody for every notable occasion. It also features delightful songs about the weather and the seasons, tying into children’s everyday work and play. The lovely range of songs adds meaning to familiar occasions, and supports language acquisition and reading skills through repetitive lyrics and patterned verse. Also included are activity ideas, musical scores and an audio CD recording of over 100 songs. Sing along all year round!

“The quality of the lyrics and poems is exceptional… simple, meaningful and bringing to vivid life children’s experiences and activities at different times of year.” New View

“An invaluable source of material to help you develop… your shared understanding of the wider world through singing.” Annie Davy, Head of Early Years and Childcare, Oxfordshire County Council
