Bubbles Music Lower Key Stage 2 (ages 7-9) provides a clear structure for promoting creative learning through music.
Bubbles Music for Lower Key Stage 2 includes:-
Resource File
The resource file contains an introductory section, designed to demystify music with easy-to-understand vocabulary and clear layout. There is also a Warm-Up games section, as well as an introduction to simple music ICT, using Sound Recorder.

There are 12 units, which are based on the following popular themes:-
Invaders and Settlers – ‘Under Attack!’
Celebrations – ‘Come and Join the Celebration’
Food – ‘Out of the Box’
Forces of Nature – ‘May the Force be with You’
Locality, UK and Beyond – ‘Three Giant Steps…’

Christmas Traditions – ‘The Spirit of Christmas’
Light and Sound - 'From out of the Shadows…'

Using a skills-based approach and with clear references to other curriculum areas, this cross-curricular resource will enable both practitioners and pupils to enjoy music together through fun, inspiring activities.
CD-Rom
The CD-ROM provides all sections of the resource file, including the Warm-Up games and theme units, in editable Microsoft® Word document format. There are also additional images for use with an interactive whiteboard to enhance the teaching and learning experience.
Audio CD
The audio CD includes tracks to support the Warm-Up games and theme units, including vocal and backing tracks for our original, catchy songs.
Bubbles Music Lower Key Stage 2 Lesson Plans
The Bubbles Music Lesson Plans are designed to support the less confident primary teacher and any practitioners who feel they need a little more detailed prescription. By splitting the twelve units up into six lesson plans, teachers are able to work through the unit phases at their own pace. Each activity is described in detail and a playlist is provided so that extra tracks can be sourced and incorporated to enhance lessons, as well as still using the tracks on the Bubbles Music Audio CD. These plans are designed to be used in conjunction with the Bubbles Music Lower Key Stage Two Resource File. Support and training is available to help schools get the best out of their Bubbles resources.
