KS1 Pirate Project 2021

Following the joy of learning to sing and sign songs in Makaton at Christmas, this was a further project open to all KS1 pupils. Schools could take part with a single class or with multiple classes, and online teaching sessions to help learn the songs and signs were offered.

There were seven pirate songs and links to the resources were sent on registration. Access to videos to support the signs helped schools to prepare for the celebratory performances on Thursday 1 July. These were streamed live via Google Meet and also offered the opportunity for the children to listen to and to discover more about members of the different instrumental families through some short video clips. Pirate costumes were also encouraged!

We had a fantastic response from schools, with 58 classes and over 1700 pupils and teachers involved!
