In this new Micromusical adaption the abridged story is told through poetry and song.TestimonialsThe micro-musicals have enriched our curriculum and have enabled the topics taught in class to come alive. Through the micro-musicals the children have gained a deeper and broader understanding of the curriculum and have developed a bank of rich language which has supported their writing outcomes. The micro-musicals have provided an excellent opportunity to teach music through all areas of the curriculum and we have been able to use music as a platform to learn history science geography and literature. They have been a good value for money and a valuable resource.-Bronwen Chalmers Head Teacher Davies Lane Primary School
