Online Teacher's Notes for Summer 2006 (PDF) - 'Beside the sea'
Children learn a song in each programme and take part in a range of interactive music games that develop key music skills and encourage focused listening. Programmes are often based on a narrative stimulus, making the series an ideal basis of music lessons with links to literacy.
Curriculum links
Each programme encourages singing, composing, appraising and listening. Beside the sea links to the QCA schemes of work and in particular Units 1 and 3.
