Primary Music KS1: Music Food Fest

Music Food Fest

A unit exploring the theme of food through songs and music.

A unit exploring the theme of food through songs and music - different types of food, the health and science aspects of food…and the place of food in celebrations.

This five-part unit includes some traditional material adapted in new, fun ways - eg the rhyme ‘One Tomato,Two Tomatoes’ - and a baking chant which develops new recipes week-by-week. There’s a lively ‘Kitchen sink’ song with kitchen-percussion activities, the gentle ‘Song Tree grows apples’ song, an ‘energy’ song in modern styles exploring food-science ideas about nutrition and a food ‘celebration’ song with a catchy, syncopated rhythm, evoking different parts of the world.

The unit’s music objectives include aspects of pitch (higher and lower, up and down, and tunes that leap and jump), duration (steady beat, keeping in time, long and short notes, changing tempo and syncopation) and recognising timbre. Refer to the Teacher's Notes for more information on the unit objectives.

Children are encouraged to adjust their vocal performance to suit particular songs (eg bright and clear, or smooth and gentle). As well as food-fun and enjoyment for all, the unit supports elements of the Science and Geography curriculum and encourages children to consider health aspects of their food-choices and approaches to sharing our food.
