Music
 
Music at Fowlmere is taught using the Charanga scheme of work which supports teachers in the teaching and development of music.
 
The Charanga Musical School Scheme provides teachers with week-by-week lesson support for each year group in the school. It is ideal for specialist and non-specialist teachers and provides lesson plans, assessment, clear progression, and engaging and exciting whiteboard resources to support every lesson. The Scheme supports all the requirements of the national curriculum.
 
Children work on different units and have the opportunity to use percussion instruments alongside the songs that they are learning.
 
They listen and appraise a range of music throughout each year and develop their musical skills.  Each Unit lasts half a term.
 
In addition to the class teaching of music, Fowlmere Primary enriches every child's music knowledge with our 'Music of the Week', daily singing in assembly, as well as our wide range of instrumental teaching from specialist teachers.
