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.

Time and Tune: Romans!: 4. Oh, the strata of society

4. Oh, the strata of society

Primary Music KS2: Romans - BBC Teachaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudiodocument

Exploring the layers of Roman society...from Emperor down to slave.

Oh, the strata
Of society,
Down from Emperor to slave, 
Oh, they tell you
What you ought to do
And just how you should behave 
And the manners
That you have to show
When superiors you pass... 
Roman people,
Neatly organized,
Into layers, class by class.

From the toga
With a purple stripe,
To the sack-cloth down below, 
Know your status
In society,
What you wear and who you know, 
Status symbols?
Own a villa
And a garden and a horse...
Make your slaves do
What you want them to,
When you want them to, of course.

At the bathhouse
Are you pampered?
At the theatre, where’s your seat? 
Are you wealthy?
Are you healthy?
Are you part of the elite?
Yes, the senator
And the citizen,
Seeking privilege, no doubt... 
Seeking power, seeking influence, 
Are they ‘in’, or are they ‘out’?

Oh, the strata
Of society,
Down from Emperor to slave, 
Oh, they tell you
What you ought to do
And just how you should behave 
And the manners
That you have to show
When superiors you pass... 
Roman people,
Neatly organized,
Into layers, class by class.
