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.

5. Spin that coin

Primary Music KS2: Romans - BBC Teachaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudiodocument

Finding out about Roman games, pastimes and everyday activities.

Spin that coin and flip it over,
Is it heads, or is it tails?
Take it to the marketplace
And change your coin for goods on sale. 
Emperors, they come and go,
But trade and people carry on, 
Spin that coin and flip it over, 
On and on and on...

(Instrumental verse, with actions)

Roll that dice and count the numbers, 
One, two, three, four, five or six?
Fly a kite, throw knuckle-bones,
And play with dolls and hoops and sticks. 
Model chariots, rolling marbles,
Toys and games they carry on,
Roll that dice and count the numbers, 
On and on and on...

(Instrumental verse, with actions)

Sing the songs and dance the dances,
Blow the flutes and twang the lyre,
Step in time with tambourines,
Then stamp the ground, then reach up higher. 
Castanets and finger-cymbals,
Dance and music carry on,
Sing the songs and dance the dances, 
On and on and on...

(Instrumental verse, with actions)

Spin that coin...

Dance and music...
