‘Good Afternoon Whistling Song’ Stainton Primary Yr 1 & 2 Transition Singing Project led by Jilly Jarman 2010
We used drawing in the air, movement and other imaginative rhythmic ideas made up by the class to get the basic melody and tune. The whistling idea came from a boy who said the lines we were drawing in the air looked like a whistle! Fantastic – it made the song. There is an introduction/folk dance game to go with it.

‘We wrote this!’
These songs were written by Year 3 and 4 pupils at Hayton CE Primary school.
They performed them at the school concert and had a special recording session the next week. This marked the end of a very successful Creative Partnerships project.
The enthusiasm shown by all the children was marked and you can hear that energy and commitment in their songs. Enjoy!
